Cruz intent with NY values is a message to voters: Trump is not like you.
Trump intent with Cruz born in Canada, not USA to voters: do you want a president not born in America?
Which are voters more willing to accept?
I think most Americans already knew Trump isn’t like us. Except maybe a few other very powerful billionaires.
As leader of the free world, I really don’t want someone like me or like most of us. I want someone a whole helluva lot better, stronger.
Do voters want another, ‘better,’ Emperor or do they want a President? Trump and Cruz are running, de facto, for different job titles. History lauds ‘good Emperors’ but warns that if you go ‘Emperor’ you can stay ‘Emperor’ a long time, but there will be lots of lemons. We did pretty well with ‘President’ until progressives started to mess with the definition.
