I completely understand your position. We gave to Cruz when he first announced. He is a good guy, despite what some here say. Cruz is truly the person for whom we'd vote.

But, when Trump stuck to his non-PC words and stuck to his non-PC stances, it really made us take another look. Later, when Cruz admitted on a talk show that he didn't push back on Trump “for fear of becoming roadkill,” that really showed me he could not take the heat. By that point, and since, Cruz has glommed on to Trump's more difficult positions, like kicking every illegal out and building the wall, but Cruz only did so after Trump pushed them and took the arrows. Again, Cruz showed he won't lead on sensitive positions.

Cruz is a well-intentioned follower. I would normally be ecstatic to vote for him. But with the GOPe and PC speech in the way, I realize these factors must be broken down, first. Cruz has no way to effectively do that, but Trump does.

Cruz will be a great choice for a different time, and with him, as a man, being demonstrably different and better.

Cruz 2.0 will be a formidable contender, indeed.

We'll see how long that lasts. His answer regarding what the principle role of the Federal Government is and his answer was that it was defense, education and healthcare was pretty scary. His recent comments on men using women's restrooms was pretty politically correct. His statement that Planned Parenthood does a lot of good things (besides murdering unborn children and selling their organs) was pretty troubling.

Cruz lost me when he voted for TPA. I was a donor before that. I have not given him a dime since.

I was on board the Trump bandwagon for a short season, but his undiplomatic style and his vague answers caused me to take a second look. To me he is just too self absorbed and egotistical to make a good president. His tendency to insult his opponents and to react unseemly to criticism is just not something I want in a president. We already have one of those.

So if and when Trump gets the magic number, I suspect he is going to go full GOPe and even go further left than the GOPe. He strikes me as a knee jerk Rockefeller Republican which is the epitome of elite GOP.

We shall see. Frankly I hope I'm wrong, but I fear I am right.
