Trump as a reality show star will say things to get headlines. He does not think things through. They are sure crowd pleasers, especially when people are angry. However, a serious presidential candidate would have to be measured and thoughtful.

Ted Cruz is more controlled in what he says, while he will achieve the results needed in policy.

Sometimes ya gotta wump people up top the head with a 2 by 4 just to get them to wake up and pay attention.

Trump has charisma, Cruz is lacking that.

“He does not think things through.”

Yes, that must be the key he used to become a billionaire real estate developer.

Note how you confined him to a reality show star.

He was a billionaire real estate developer before he was a reality star.

What reflects more ability to be measured and thoughtful: legally accumulating billions of dollars or running your mouth for votes? Cruz is very articulate, but being articulate does not reveal character.

Agreed. I detest it when politicians of any stripe use tragic events to push an extreme agenda to achieve security. Complete security is mythical. In a free world populated with a small % of evil people bent on the destruction of innocent life, no one is ever truly safe.

Rather than treat us like children in need of a blinky and blanky, I'd like to see a statesman/woman be straight with us.
