The main reason I favor Trump instead of Cruz is because I doubt that Ted can do this. He just does not have the magnetism or charisma and show-biz personality that Reagan had that allowed him to win over people, even when they didn’t all agree with him. That was 1980. By 1984, he had won everyone over. If Cruz won the nomination, the general election would be iffy, and a squeaker, in my opinion. Trump brings the chance of a landslide.
The landslide will be for Hillary. Trump pisses off more folks than you care to admit.
You just updated the 1952 argument of Eisenhower over Taft.
