At first I saw him as a politically naive America first guy who is out to put the brakes on the corruption in DC and end the corruption. Now I don't know what the hell he has up his sleeve.
He's had some sharp cookies craft position statements for him on his website, but it doesn't seem he's bothered to read them because his answers fall short of knowledgeable. He plays off people's anger and dislike for the beltway, but rather than address the issues making us angry he prefers to brawl with profanity and slander as his chosen weapons knowing the media is willing to get right down in the gutter with him.
This is like a frat house party that is getting out of control and with a new keg or two on the way somebody's about to get their asses kicked, someone is likely to get raped and the chances of a couple cars getting wrapped around trees are higher than not.
I wouldn't mind seeing Trump come up short in the delegate count causing a brokered convention in which I believe Cruz would prevail. Subsequent to that, I'd like to see a Cruz/Gingrich ticket.
But alas. I think it's looking better for Hillary every day.
In that scenario, 10 - 20 % of normal Republican votes would be lost; there would be a wave election for the Democrats and not only the Presidency, but the House, Senate, and Supreme Court would be gone for the foreseeable future. The First and Second Amendments would be reheard and decided in a liberal fashion. This is what Cruz would bring if he is perceived as stealing the nomination at a brokered convention. He would have to win 90% of the delegates outright, and fairly defeat Trump, to be acceptable as a nominee.
