You say:
“Cruz is always careful to make sure Trump has said the equivalent thing first.”
But you also said:
“I’m still with Cruz and that is because he is leading by example.”
NO.
TRUMP is leading by example. The ONLY reason that Cruz has any momentum is that he’s *following* Trump’s lead.
You see that... but you DON’T see that.
Why can’t you see the disconnect?
Cruz is ONLY against amnesty and for a wall because Trump suggested it and got headwind with the proposal.
Your candidate is only making gains because he’s *following* the stronger candidate’s policies.
Cruz was in first. I can make the claim everybody else was following him. I do give Trump Kudos for bringing immigration and Islamic hate into the debate in ways no one else does. I give Cruz the credit for actually killing the gang of 8 amnesty bill before Trump was even putting out a talking point as a contender. I also say *CRUZ* is the stronger candidate because he hangs his campaign on the Constitution which is the best thing anybody can run a campaign on.
