[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Cruz may carry, but he gives the impression he would hire it done. That is his problem. He seems aloof, effete and haughty whether he is in fact or not.

I think you put your finger on it. It's frustrating, but true. I'm still holding out hope that when it gets down to four or five, he will get time to speak and will make a favorable impression on people.

[Psalm 144]

I hope he hangs in there and grows stronger. There is only one other candidate I would be comfortable voting for, and that is too thin a reserve for comfort.

Cruz wears well. The more one sees and hears of him the more convincing he comes across. That is a good thing. But he has miles to go before he sleeps.
