Trump actually knows about strategy and negotiations. He’s done it for decades at the highest level.
Cruz hasn’t negotiated for squat. He is not a leader and he can’t get anyone to follow him except Mike Lee.
Those two are far from the only conservatives in the Senate but he’s so arrogant and stupid that no one wants to go along with his hair-brained ideas.
And let’s not forget, he’s for keeping the invaders here in the country instead of deporting them. He still is for amnesty even though he’s tricked a few people (thankfully no more than 4-5%) into thinking otherwise.
Mistaken on -- or mischaracterizing -- everything.
