I am a Cruz or lose kinda girl. Trump is a human gumball machine. Look for anything to come out of Trump’s mouth. I will hold my nose and vote for Trump but I prefer Cruz.
If you would vote for Trump as 2nd choice, then you're not really a "Cruz or Lose" person. A "Cruz or Lose" is somebody who would rather see the Democrat win, than vote for any Republican but Cruz -- something like what we saw here in 2012, where I recall people saying they would rather Obama win, with the idea that boycotting "RINOs" would force the Republican party to nominate a true conservative next time.
For me, my original first choice was Scott Walker. I thought his experience as governor, and his willingness to fight the Democrats during Wisconsin's "Right to Work" fight, would make him a great president. But he turned out to be not charismatic enough on TV to appeal to many people, plus he fell down on immigration, so I had to look for a second choice.
