I like his ability to stick a thumb in the eye of those who think they hold the keys, be they establishment types or ideological purists. He has them all spinning in circles.

Trump has a right leaning, optimist message. He can landslide the election and have very long coattails. If you want to shuffle the deck and re-deal the hand, he is your best bet.

Cruz is my second choice, but my gut tells me he will lose. Funny thing is, it is for the very shallow reason of that haughty look of derision he has in most debating situations. It looks like he is talking down to people. My wife can’t stand him. She likes Trump though. Lots of people I know like Trump.

Trump knows he has a trump card and that’s the people themselves.

If the people choose a good attitude (towards God) they could be a very powerful trump card here.

This is a unique situation. There hasn’t been anything like it in America.

I have the same problem with Cruz - even though he's my first spiritual choice (Trump's my first practical choice). Cruz does come off as smarmy, and that's going to get in the way of his leadership (in terms of people following.)

Hopefully 8 years as Trump's understudy will cure him of that.
