A campaign can only do so much with the material it’s given. In the end, the candidate has to be electable. The problem with Ted Cruz is, the more you get to know him, the harder it is to like him.
Trump knew that at least back in August.
Growing up Catholic, I never understood the Protestant preachers. My priest when I was an altar boy was a badass. He didn’t sell sugar. After hearing and seeing Cruz, I’m not buying him.
Texas got to know Cruz very well and they love him. He has a much longer list of official endorsements than Trump.
