"we have a lot of same ideas"
Except that Ted is a timeless Constitutional Conservative... while Trump has been successful in business precisely because he has been apolitical -- that is, without reference to politics, Democrats equal to Republicans as far as he is concerned.
So yeah, the two "have a lot of the same ideas" except for that little thing! In fact, for 21 of the past 26 years, Trump has donated as much to Democrats (more actually) as to Republicans. I wonder how much money Cruz sent to Democrats running for office over the past 26 years in order to secure his own financial gain?
Trump is a great businessman -- he has self-promoted himself as such so convincintly that now he is a celebrity icon. Good for him -- great showmanship, great for business, great for his stockholders. But what's great for business may be very bad for the cause of liberty, such as donating to Democrats like Harry Reid, Kerry, Schumer, Rangel, Hillary, and Kennedy and justifying advancing tyranny as "the cost of doing business."
It's a good thing the Founding Fathers and the signers of the Declaration of Independence didn't take that stance with their own businesses.
Trump lacks a political compass to guide his ideas -- his entire success happened because of being scrupulously apolitical. No one knows what they're really voting for because Trump has ZIP actual political record of action and a penchant for nationalized health care done his magic "The Donald" way. Trumpcare as opposed to Obamacare, when what we really need is for the Federal government to get out of it altogether.
Cruz's ideas are consistent because he operates on a political compass much like the Founders.
Trump, sincere well-meaning patriot that he is, is still obviously a crap shoot. Cruz is a sure thing.
‘’Trump, sincere well-meaning patriot that he is, is still obviously a crap shoot. Cruz is a sure thing.’’
Cruz might be a “sure thing” within the Republican party. Sadly, the Primary election is not where it ends. In the General, Hillary would whoop his ass. Between Cruz and Trump, Trump has a better chance of beating the b!tch. We know she fights dirty and I think he can, too.
