Under the GOP, we've had nothing but campaign rhetoric and talk and promises.
Followed by utter caving once they get to DC.
If Trump deals, that's good: we may get as much as 40%-50% of what we want, as opposed to 0% while giving up mindshare and allowing the Democrats to set up their next moves (they think and act strategically instead of reacting purely defensively, in the moment, as the GOP does).
Cruz is an insider, and was designed to be the Pied Piper to soak up conservative votes and keep them safely sequestered.
Look at any left wing site and see the reaction to Cruz.
Whereas, the attacks on Trump are designed solely at *shouting him down*: the tired tropes of "racist bigot Nazi" show the left knows, they've already lost against him, and their only hope is naked physical aggression against his supporters.
Exactly the type of response I've come to expecyrt from Trumpets.
