I like Cruz immeasurably; but he has an achilles heel. He is NOT financially independent.
Only Trump has the chops to go to DC and bust up the crony cartel. After 4 or 8 years of Trump, who I believe will give Cruz big, heavy duty responsibility and recognition unknown in any other administration in history. After that, Cruz will walk into the Oval Office without even breaking a sweat.
Amen....... but Go Scott
(remember, Trump wrote the book about the art of the deal. He can negotiate a deal Cruz can’t refuse)
