You greatly underestimate Ted Cruz.
And BTW, I am not anti-Cruz. I’ve been a big Cruz supporter from the start, but slowly over time I realized Trump is The MAN.
Both Cruz and Trump are feared/fearless and both are expert fighters. The difference to me is: Cruz ensures a patriotic, dogged fight against the status quo using his impressive mind, debating skills, his knowledge of the Constitution and how government works. I will be happy with him as president some day.
The media focuses on Trump’s acerbic manner, but his message is very positive: promising a greater country using his unique experience, moral compass-like instincts, personal contacts and nearly limitless personal funds. There has to be a positive message to win. Trump is not just a fighter, he is a doer.
