Opinions vary. Being that trump is so far being rejected by over half the electorate and on track to arrive at a contested convention due to that failure, I’d say over half the electorate is not impressed by his gaudy NYC values.
A lot more people Trust Trump, than Cruz. Cruz has flip flopped on big issues. People do not believe or trust Ted Cruz. Hence he cant win primaries. There is nothing he can say or do to get peole to trust him. He is no Ronald Reagan, not even close.
Lots of straw men statements in your rant.
BTW, Trump is leading in NY by 65% over the Canadian, who lost a ton of voters by using the term “NY. Values” , which many found pejorative and demeaning.
The smartest man in the room is tone deaf in all the other ones.
