Have you taken a look at Trump's demographics, the demographics of his group of voters? We looked at this last week. One of the biggest blocks of support Trump is getting is from blue-collar voters. Now, those are traditionally thought of as union workers, hourly wage workers, Democrats, blue collar. I think there's a new definition we need to attach here to blue-collar, and that is "taxpayers." But the Republican base is never, ever described as blue-collar, and yet here's Trump, you talk about broadening the base, appealing to a broader audience, that is what Trump is doing. And the Republican establishment is wringing its hands, worried silly over this.

Do any Cruz supporters honestly think Ted will ever attract those voters? There will be a yuge number of "Trump Democrats" who will be key to Trump beating Hillary.

As a Cruz supporter who was in his corner LONG before Trump entered the race, if due to some unanticipated events or developments Cruz were to become the GOP nominee, both the GOPe and the 'RATs would do to him what their political ancestors did to Barry Goldwater in '64, and they have already painted Cruz as being too extreme, too far right, and even though "in our hearts we know he's right", he has to overcome two immense tasks before him, which is a.) winning the nomination and b.) winning the general election.

The fact is, Cruz is first and foremost a Christian gentleman, he does not engage in needless bombast, he cites facts and figures that cannot be refuted, and his debating skills are without a doubt 'world class'. I watched him engage and defuse a bunch of Code Pink insurgents who tried to interrupt and shut down one of his campaign events, and he totally outmaneuvered them and refuted their arguments, but he did it with a smile and showed them respect that they were forced to reciprocate.

As impressive as that is, it is my increasing belief that we need a real street fighter as our nominee this time around, and of all the candidates competing, only one, aka Donald Trump fits that description and like they said in the 'Rocky' movies, "he ain't goin' down!"
