I switched from Cruz about a month ago because the numbers told me he had waited too long to go on the offensive. I like Trump, but Cruz spoke to the social conservative side of me, to the religious conservative side of me, and his faults I just overlooked.
So, when he was evidently losing, I had to think my way through each of the others, and there really isn’t another America First candidate out there that had a chance to win.
And then Trump took after Hillary and shut her up. That sold me. He could win the nomination, but more importantly he could win the whole thing.
A very similar observation to mine. I saw a link posted on a thread where Cruz had called the Clinton sex sleaze off limits several weeks before. Watching the media wade in, inadvertently damaging the Clintons after the Trump statement was eye opening.
That's when I came to the conclusion that strength and leadership were strong in one, and weak in the other.
I like them both, but for VERY different reasons. I dislike certain character attributes of both, VERY different kinds of things.
