I see your point. The attacks on both sides have degenerated to making debating points.
Ultimately though we all need to face the fact that all this bickering is not helping this election cycle.
Given Cruz has proven to be a voice of conservatism in the senate at a time when the GOPE was in surrender monkey mode.
Given that he represents possibly the best chance of undoing some of the liberal policy changes that are bleeding out the heart of America.
How does he get elected without both the Trump Voters (traditional republican voters~30%) and the ~10 percent non traditional republican voters that Trump brings in with his populist positions? That is a pool of around 66~67 million voters, of who 24 million have some allegiance to trump, against a total of around 18 million hard-corp Cruz supporters.
They need each other. They need to have a path to win this election, change the alignments of the parties and go on and win in 2020 It is the only way, Pat Buchanan is right.
I agree with your points. Trump or Cruz deserve to be the next nominee and both are running on anti-establishment themes.
The question is, who can better unite the party after the convention? Trump’s no-holds-barred attacks on virtually every other republican, which he continues to this day, leave him in a poor position to be a uniter.
His past support of the Clintons and democrat policies leaves him in poor position to win in November.
Best chance??? Cruz got zero support in the Senate...How's he going to get support from anyone else...Cruz has no chance at all...That's his record...
