I give money and time to Cruz. Trump doesn’t need or ask for either but I probably would help Trump if asked.
Does that make me a Cruz supporter?
But the first sentence of this Salon article, freeper email, or whatever it was, told me the author is ignorant to what’s happening and is just throwing something out there.
Is Trump a winner? Yes. Absolutely. Is Trump being a winner a singular explanation for his support? Hell no. Trump loves America and us. That is far more responsible for his support. People believe that he sees America like we do. For the most part, he loves the things we love, he doesn’t like the things we don’t like. He values education, hard work, and standing up for beliefs. IMO those values have more than a little to do with his being a winner. And...he’s not a politician.
So find plenty wrong with every candidate including Trump and Cruz. But find plenty more wrong with the others. With Trump and Cruz, we’ll survive as a country. With the others that’s a maybe.
Survival trumps all else. And to become the America that we had been, we’ll have to survive now.

Well put.
What amazes me about Trump is 2 things I heard him say that show he is in touch with average Americans. He said once that the fed holding down interest rates left Americans with nowhere to invest their money but the stock market, which was risky and bound to fall again. And another time he said the Obamacare deductibles were so high that it made any care unaffordable.
Now a multibillionaire probably isn’t affected by those things but the fact that he recognized what millions of Americans face was surprising to me, after decades of politicians that are so far removed from the people- and couldn’t care less.
