Cruz was not the kind of leader the people wanted.
I know that. To be a leader you need to motivate and inspire those who you work with. For some reason, Cruz cannot get his fellow Senators to back him up at all. As President, how on Earth will he get his policies passed? He needs to read, “How to make friends and influence people”. He cannot be President by himself. He might get some Executive Orders done but will he be able to sign a single bill that he wants?
You ever hear of Ronald Reagan? He had a lot of policies that he wanted to pass that his Republican Congress was too wimpy to present or follow through on. His charisma and communicating with the American people solved all that, and the political hacks had to follow.
I truly believe Cruz has this same kind of quality that real people (not phoney baloney politicians) understand. Furthermore, you lead by the front, not by following behind (Zero’s way).
