I would love to see Ted Cruz as president. He’s conservative, strong, doesn’t “go along to get along” and is a committed Christian.

I fear, however, that these are not the qualifications that the masses are looking at. I think it’s a different population out there, sadly.

It’s still early...the primaries don’t start till Feb and the general isn’t until Nov 16. However, I think Cruz and many of the other candidates were caught totally off guard by the Trump phenomena, and I think Carson has been very fortunate to ride the wave to his advantage. Trump, like him or not, warts and all, has totally turned the political class and “normal” “it’s now my turn” election cycle totally on its head and the pundits, media and establishment have absolutely no idea how to deal with it. They thought he would implode by now, and he may very well get tired of the B.S. and pick up his ball and go home at some point, but in the meantime, it’s a whole new world and I think its a good thing overall. As a comparison to Cruz, they are totally different and unfortunately, Cruz may just be seen as just another sitting U.S. Senator that is more part of the problem than the solution...I know he’s the most conservative, I know he’s brilliant, I know he knows the Constitution, I know he is a devout Christian, but none of those things are resonating with the primary voters thus far. But, like I said, it is early and the Trump phenomena may just be a vent or protest vote at this point. Cruz is setting up a good ground game for the long haul, but it is a tough climb if Trump doesn’t implode. And I don’t think he is going to.
