During the campaign for the nomination Cruz blamed Trump for the fascists shutting down his (Trump’s) Chicago rally. Cruz? No thanks.
That was when I shifted from Cruz to Trump. However, I also make some allowances for "youthful indiscretion" during an election - against a man who insulted Ted's wife. I'm looking for someone better than Cruz, but I'm not willing to reject Cruz out of hand if he's most likely to win.
