There just isn't a candidate anywhere in any party who is more fun to listen to than Cruz. I hope his hundred mil keep him going awhile.
My own history of politician success is this: The last winner I cheerfully supported was Ronald Reagan. I supported him from the beginning. It still took him about 4 tries to get there.
When Cruz talks he exudes Reagan's optimism. I think he is also honing his vision for the future of the United States. The best candidate to win will be the one (Cruz, I hope) who inspires the electorate with an exciting, enthusiastic and optimistic vision.
Jobs in 2017 will be an issue, but if that is the candidates vision (See Trump...jobs and Mexican rapists), he will bore me to tears.
I want Cruz to win so bad I can taste it. He's faced some ridiculous press so far, but they haven't yet brought out the big guns.
P.S. Is there an interview process before you can get hired as a Mexican Rapist so you can join the Mexican Rapist branch of the Democratic Party? What does a Mexican Rapist's resume look like? Do "Republicans" vet Mexican Rapists before they offer their full support?
