All well and good, but the comment you made is that you wouldn't vote for Cruz - I questioned if that even meant if Hillary were the other option.
Too many people misunderstood the TPA deal and why he did what he did. He tried to do some triage - the limb was lost and there was no way to save it, but he grasped for the straws to delay and even give others a chance to come around and do the right thing. Funny how a man's best efforts get turned around and all of a sudden, what he couldn't stop is his fault.
At any rate, Trump is very viable and I could vote for him without angst.
I too would be overjoyed for a wall and an absolute stemming of the flow of illegals - I also understand what opposition will be there for the next non-Dem President. While either Cruz or Trump will make improvements on it, some of the biggest things that can be done is to neutralize the EOs from Obama - I predict that no matter what our next guy does, there will be many on "our side" slapping him up one side of the head and down the other because whatever he can do will never be enough and they are in such a fantasy land that they will not be able to recognize reality.
If Cruz gets the nomination, I would vote for him. But surely, you can see the benefit of a Trump presidency. He is using the bully pulpit already. The press just love him. The kind of press he gets is unprecedented for a Republican.
