Every Trump supporter I know recognizes that he is not perfect, and many have outright criticized certain things he’s said and done. That’s not seen with Cruz supporters. They present him as perfect, and for the longest time people who didn’t agree were accused of being liberals.
If Cruz supporters could view him more objectively and realistically it would be a big help. For example, I’ve taken valuable time to lay out a couple of Cruz’ more blatant lies. The reaction of his supporters is just sick. They rationalize, minimize, attack, change the subject, go full bore Alinsky, and on and on. Not one, ever, has conceded that Cruz does lie. Not one. Ever.
That approach actually hurts your candidate. People don’t trust you if you can look at clear cut, factual evidence and brush it aside.
Of course the biggest help of all would be for Cruz to stop lying. Given his MO so far, that’s unlikely.
“Not one, ever, has conceded that Cruz does lie. Not one. Ever.”
