Same thing “they” said about Reagan in 1979.
And for the same reasons I hope that he wins the presidency.
36 years of massive immigration have left their mark and the demographics today are of a much less white population.
Assuming he makes it to the General, Cruz will have to pull off some kind miracle with Hispanics or get pretty much every white vote, besting even Romney, who got a higher percentage of white votes than did Reagan in '80.
Reagan had the personality of smooth butterscotch ice-cream. Cruz is much more in your face type. But Cruz is more intelligent than Reagan and better debater. You betcha he knows what the Bush Doctrine is. I would rather have Cruz debating Hillary than Reagan.
