“I do know that Trump is no Reagan. Let’s hope the polls are wrong. As much as I don’t want Trump as the president, I would still prefer him over Hillary or Sanders, any damned day.

But I am pulling and praying for Cruz to win.”

Trump is different from Reagan in some ways. But both Trump and Reagan are the only outsiders constantly attacked by the media, the GOP and the Democrats that I remember.

Because Reagan ended up being popular and successful people forget how much Reagan was hated. He was called a dunce, an idiot, a racist and a hater of women. Like Trump the charges never stuck. Reagan was called the Teflon president, Trump is called Teflon Don.

My two candidates were Trump and Cruz. Neither are perfect but I felt they were the only two that could make a positive difference.

I felt that a Jeb! presidency would be almost the same as an Obama presidency or a Clinton presidency.

Cruz has made it harder for me to like him.

I don't like his close association with Glenn Beck. I don't like his claim that Trump and his supporters were to blame for the thugs that attacked them in Chicago. I don't like his putting Neil Bush in such a prominent role.

But I think Cruz would make a good president and would gladly support him.

I hoped Trump and Cruz would work together for positive change.

Maybe there is still a chance.

Yeah, maybe the drama between Cruz and Trump is much like the drama on forums between posters...Kabuki theatre stuff. Maybe they can surprise us all and come together for the good of the nation. Hope springs.

Take care.
