Cruz is a good man, and, as you say - somewhat preachy. However, he talks at us - not to us and he is so smart that he talks over most people’s heads. There is nothing wrong with that if you are a lawyer, and that’s exactly where I see him - either as VP or AG. He would be a great AG of the United States. But, president? I just don’t see it - He just doesn’t seem to be connecting with the voters and I seriously doubt he will get cross over votes. I’m quite aware of the Reagan coalition, but, it isn’t Cruz who is pulling this together - it’s Trump who is pulling from all groups.
Exactly, Trump connects with people, Cruz doesn’t connect. If he did, he would have huge numbers because he is a good, honest, smart guy.
