Hi, Dolly

How does that explain, though, what I talked about earlier - that Cruzers seem more enthusiastic about destroying Trump than they are about their own guy winning. Nor will they ever explain why they’re for the guy, all the great things he’s done, how he inspires them, why they’re willing to walk barefoot over ground glass to vote for him, etc.

That’s not anger (though Cruzers are, by and large, an angry lot), but a LACK of positivity. You MIGHT get a “Ted Cruz is the only real conservative!” out of them, or some other trite statement, but what I don’t see are whole-hearted endorsements of him either as a candidate or as a human being.

it is the sad mentality that we enlarge our standing by tearing down the opposition.

we see in with athletics

we see in with men/women with competition.(tear down the other gal, so I will look good)

It is wrong and is counter productive for the most part.. but then these people do not know

The Art of Making the Deal, do they? LOL

Cruz, at a rally in Scotia, NY, just rattled off his top endorsements... and they were - not - very - inspiring.

Rick Perry

Carly Fiorina

Lyndsey Graham

Scott Walker

Jeb Bush

and then added Mike Lee and Mark Levin.

Crowd estimate of a thousand at a Christian Academy. The audience was polite, cheering and applauding as expected and at opportune times. In comparison to a Trump rally- the crowd was quite tepid. It was painful to watch. I believe Cruz is going through the motions at this point and cannot hide the fact that he is going through the motions at this point, and- came across as being (himself) uninspired by this self realization.

He knows how poorly he is going to do in the next five contests, and that the writing is on the wall, especially faced with the cold hard fact that he is going to be mathematically eliminated in the very next election.

Couple that with the fact that Trump is a force unto himself. It’s the equivalent of a major in the military, with 8 years of service, going up against a four star general with 29 years experience.

Lastly, if the hanky panky allegations are true, Cruz is doomed. It would take a lot of energy away from a person to mask such behavior, especially when such a person is in a public position like a leading presidential candidate would be, and for that person then, to continue acting as if it were not true. Lots and lots of energy required to keep up the façade.
