Cruz has been my senator and he has done or tried to do in Washington everything he promised in his state wide campaign. He has not wondered off course at all so I trust him strictly from his word and actions. He is the total package.
I do not yet feel that way with Trump. That old saying of you can tell the morals of a person with what they do when nobody is watching is true and I do not know Trump that well. He has not earned my trust as Cruz has.
I too started out to prove Donald Trump to be a liar and coward and found out how wrong I was, and how wrong the media was in slandering him. And I was and am a Ted Cruz supporter but I realize Donald at age 69 is what we need now and Ted at age 44 has plenty of time.
Read these two posts (they are not long) and they should help settle you about the true character of Donald Trump:
