I haven’t changed. Cruz is still my first choice and until that opportunity goes away, that’s how it will remain.
Trump, while wildly popular, lacks a moral anchor and so is capable of anything after the election. Remember, he’s the man that said he didn’t feel the need for God’s forgiveness for anything he’d done. That says a lot on many levels. Our nation’s problems are largely moral ones (corruption, corruption, corruption, loving yourself as you wish your neighbor would love you, the abandonment of traditional values, etc.) so, while I would vote for Donald against Bernie or Hitlary, I wouldn’t be expecting a lot from him. Yes, better than Obama, but no he won’t be turning the country around. It would be a very mixed bag at best.
We get the leaders we deserve and we don’t deserve a man with the character and integrity of Ted Cruz. So, yes, we probably won’t elect him. We’re desperate and we’re angry but we’re not THAT desperate and angry. We’re really upset that our economic power and lifestyle and nation’s reputation have been impacted, that we’ve been lied to and hoodwink by the Rino’s but we are not sick of our own sins enough to truly repent as a nation or even as a political party.
I will not at all be surprised that we don’t want to elect a moral man of real faith in God. Yes, Cruz is not as exciting as Trump. He’s not full of bluster and insults and he hasn’t written a book about how to make gobs of money or squeak by in a bankruptcy case, but Cruz is by far the better man on so many levels. We have a real opportunity to elect a real constitutional scholar (Lord only knows how much we need that) a real statesman, and even keeled and intelligent individual (on the international scene that could really be important - esp. after John Kerry) and a truly moral individual.
Even though I’m a guy, this is sort of like a woman looking for a husband. The rock star is soooo cool AND so good looking and, boy, does he know how to charm! And... he’s filthy rich! But can you trust him to be a good father and a faithful marriage partner and provider? See, America is not looking for that type of guy because that type of guy is soooo boring to Americans - even though he’s what we really need. How many divorces and “partners” before we learn that lesson? I’m afraid I know the answer.
‘AND so good looking’
With this line it was unnecessary for you to identify yourself as a guy. The ladies would have known.
