I hope to jump in the discussion before the attacks start.

I happen to like both Cruz and Trump. I'm leaning Trump. Here's why:

He is not afraid to lead. I can't imagine anyone else in the race issuing that ad featuring Hillary droning on about Respect for Women while showing Bill and Monica on the screen. It was a gut-punch to the Clintons. It very effectively showed her to be a total hypocrite in a way that an average Joe could understand.

Likewise the Cruz "birther" issue. Granted, it was a subtler approach. But lets not pretend it is not effective. It has worked. As I said, I like Ted Cruz, but this was going to surface at some time. Better now than against Hillary. If he wins the nomination, I'd definitely like this to be "old and settled" news.

I again pledge to support the Republican nominee, whoever he are she is... unless it is Bush.

Yes, but Trump didn't start the birther controversy. I believe it was McCain and his cronies who started the thing. But Trump saw an opportunity and took it. I think Trump is right...I believe that Ted Cruz is qualified to be President, bit the democrats will have a field day with this if Cruz is the nominee.
