I actually voted for John Anderson in the primary because I thought he would be the best positioned to win.I wanted Reagan in my heart but, you had to remember Goldwater from 12 years earlier. Reagan won the nomination which left me with mixed feeling because he was unlikely to win. But, then as it developed polls were not as bad as I thought they would be. I felt real trepidation on election day. It seemed nip and tuck. So I was hopeful. That night as the election coverage was starting. The announcers said “there is an aura of victory around one of the candidate based on soundings and exit polls and that candidate was Republican Ronald Reagan.” I let out a cheer. As the night unfolded it was one of the happiest of my life as I saw Reagan win and Democrat Senator and congressmen were massacred.

You could have this same exact feeling with Cruz.

We won’t with Trump.
