To answer the question I think it’s because conservatives want a winner and a lot of them don’t think Cruz can win but they know Trump can pull some of the middle of the road voters. If Cruz gets the nomination those voters will vote democrat or stay home. And staying home is the same as voting for a democrat.
WRONG. Staying home is the same as depriving both the Democrat AND the Republican of a vote. Nothing more, nothing less.
ONLY people who mark a Democrat's name on a ballot are voting for a democrat, for all your emotions tell you that not voting for the Democrat's opponent "is the same as voting for the Democrat." New Math through Common Core much, Sad American?
Going to the polls and voting Third Party is the same as depriving both the Democrat and the Republican of a vote AND as well, reducing the mandate of BOTH the R and the D.
Please resist the temptation to apply emotion to material mathematics.
Because they have been robbing everybody blind and Cruz wants that to stop!
I started out thinking Cruz was the man.
Then, among many other things, I got to thinking about how little he has accomplished as a senator.
I understand that the people in power block him at every turn and I understand why. They have a playhouse and do not like Cruz rocking the boat.
But think about it. He is supposed to be the great debater. He is supposed to be a great lawyer. Both need to be persuasive to succeed.
He has not.
Now contrast him with Jesse Helms. Despised by liberals.
A very conservative republican when the political system was overwhelmingly democratic and a republican in the South was only one degree above a pedophile.
Yet he accomplished much and has been regarded as the power behind building the republican party in the South.
One of his greatest skills was said to be his ability to understand the rules of the senate and the traditional procedures that it must follow and he used them to the fullest. Had he been in the senate for the past eight years, I suspect he would have out maneuvered Reid at every turn.
Cruz as a great debater and a great lawyer should have been able to do the same, but he has not.
No matter how right he might be about his interpretation of our Constitution, it is worth nothing if he can not sell his ideas and he has demonstrated that he can not sell his ideas where it counts.
So I support Trump in the belief that he has the ability to get people to follow him.
The only reason they think that is because Trumps been hammering that message from the get go....that it doesn’t matter what a candidate stands for he needs to just be a winner....
There’s every reason to believe Cruz could go up against any demorat there is.....he stood against the UN...the Supreme court and Congressional leaders......what in the world does old Hillary have?????
