If immigration isn't at the top of your list, then you're a fool. Once they have the right to vote-- which is inevitable with any kind of amnesty, whether just giving them "legal status" or a full blown path to citizenship-- the Democrats will change the south.
If viewed overall, Trump would make your average Romney voter throw up a little bit.
That's completely false. Trump gets even better overall. Only Trump really cares about TPP, NAFTA, and the entire farce of so-called "free trade." Cruz loves that stuff. He voted for fast track. He's a globalist. His wife worked with the CFR, and her only complaint about the whole globalist scheme of open borders and creating a North American Union was that she thought the market should have a bigger role in saving Mexico's economy!
On the other hand, if YOU are the single issues voter, you might question Trump on his sincerity on abortion or on healthcare. That's fine. But free trade, government incompetence, and immigration, will kill us.
I’ve done that and Cruz is the obvious choice,
Cruz is the obvious choice if you're a shallow thinker completely unaware of what's coming to this country!
“...If immigration isn’t at the top of your list, then you’re a fool...”
Opinions vary.
“...Trump gets even better overall...”
Opinions vary, especially among conservatives.
“...Cruz is the obvious choice if you’re a shallow thinker completely unaware of what’s coming to this country!...”
Opinions vary *drastically*.
Everyone I know — *everyone* — firmly believes Trump can only be relied upon to stroke his own ego. As to which parts of the constitution he will *negotiate* away (policy-wise) just so he can claim to be “winner” of whatever deal(s) he makes remains to be seen. I’d rather not give him the chance and I know of no-one else who wants to either.
We’ve made our evaluation and Cruz overwhelmingly gets our vote at this stage of the campaign. But you keep your chin up and praise Trump for all you can! I mean, there are certainly worse candidates than Trump (Clinton, Sanders, Carson, Graham, Christie, Bush...) so we aren’t saying he’s *all* bad. Best of luck to you!
