Cruz chose a message with a very limited appeal outside the conservative base.
Cruz chose a message with a very limited appeal outside the conservative base.
And then proceeded to abandon that message when he dishonestly campaigned for Barack Obama’s secret trade agenda in the U. S. Senate. Cruz had a very narrow lane and he needed to run the table. Cruz’s weaknesses on immigration and trade made it difficult for him to compete with Trump on those issues. The Preacher Ted routine may pull him over the line in Iowa but he needed a broader message for a national campaign. Big mistake on his part, IMO.
I know I will get flamed for this. Conservatives, alone, can not win an election. We need the Reagan Democrats and we need the black and Hispanic vote. Trump has proven that he can do it. Cruz can not. I can not take that chance by giving him my vote this election.
Trump will never run for re-election if elected. Give him the chance to stick it to the GOP establishment. Vote Trump. In 4 years, Cruz can run again. Just maybe, Trump and reunite the NEW Republican Party that could elect Cruz. This election Cruz will never win. He simply doesn’t have the votes to beat Hillary.
Angry moderates out number angry conservatives.
