“For political veterans, much of what we’re starting to hear about Donald Trump has an eerily familiar ring. Too extreme. Unelectable. Scares people. A radical, not a conservative.”
Now for most people, that is what you will likely hear more.

I support Cruz, but he’s no Reagan. I hope that he will be VP to Trump, or that Trump will appoint him to the Supreme Court. He’s brilliant.

Reagan had charisma and a presence.
Cruz is like the college professor lecturing from a podium...snorefest.

Reagan had a presence that went beyond politics. Cruz is DOA in a majority of the Blue states in the 2012 election.

I was waiting for someone to say it. I well remember the primary season of 1976 and 1980. Reagan was deemed unelectable, and thus not to be nominated in 1976. Surprisingly, Gerald Ford nearly won the 1976 general ... nearly. The same arguments against nominating Reagan were heard in the 1980 season, and ...

Reagan was handsome, charming and engaging. Cruz is brilliant and an exceptional debater. They are not the same.

are we considering who can best lead this Nation, or who might best be able to entertain it?

He got elected as a underdog in the good old state of Texas.
They underestimate Cruz at their own peril.

Cruz cannot be VP to RINO Trump, the new GOPe spokesperson. You have it ass backwards dude.
To: Kenny
Most Iowa polls and 20 points behind in one national poll. We have no national primary, by the way.

I would have to agree that being a distant second in a national race is hardly being competitive. Trump 41% and Cruz 14% just means Trump’s going to run away with it.

At least be honest with yourself enough to realize that Cruz's weakness is his narrower appeal than Trump.

When Ronald Reagan began to run in 1980 I was selling stuff door to door in my neighborhood. One of my clients was sort of a nut and she told me Reagan was the man to vote for. I remember having a moment like the professor in "Back to the Future" -
Ronald Reagan, the actor? I got to listening to him and I concurred that my nutty neighbor was right.
It seems that when people really listen to Ted they then begin to know.
