I have to admit I’ve reevaluated the type of people that come to this site. Yes, I’m a Cruz supporter, and I feel, objectively, Cruz is the closest politician we’ve had to ideal since I’ve been a sentient adult. Yet, many here see it very differently in large part due of Trump’s candidacy (yes, my opinion). It would be interesting to know if the world lacked Donald Trump how his supporters would view Ted Cruz.
I don’t pay a lot of attention to the so-called split here in FR...
For the most part, it seems MOST FReepers would support EITHER Trump or Cruz before any of the others...That’s the way I feel also...
I think in a normal year, Cruz looks great. Compared to Trump, he is the best of the establishment pols. Just my opinion.
My opinions regarding Ted Cruz were forming back when he was running for Senate. He’s only made them worse since then.
This guy should get a real job.

If Trump wasn’t in the race, Cruz would still be silent on illegal immigration, as he was the first many months of the race. That’s why I quit supporting him. I think without Trump, Cruz would’ve been viewed much like Tancredo and Hunter were when W was forced on us. He wouldn’t be doing nearly as well as he is now. He would’ve stayed low in the polls like during the first few months of the race. He’s been changing his positions to match Trump and been tiptoeing in Trump’s footsteps.
