We can find a winner who isn't a blow-hard. Ted Cruz is more conservative than Trump, brighter than Trump, a better communicator than Trump, and would likely be able accomplish things as president.
So why is trump handing him his lunch?
Rightly or wrongly, the MSM has successfully branded Cruz as an extreme right-wing zealot. And Cruz has some other negatives vis a vis issues as well as eligibility questions. His support from the Club for Growth, Goldman-Sachs, and a big hedge fund sugar daddy should give us some pause as well. The guns have not been trained on Cruz yet, but they will be if he gets more visibility.
Keep looking these elections come around every four years.
