Trump is the swizzle. Cruz is the cocktail.
I will be brutally honest with you. If Trump drops out, Bush will be the nominee. The polls are not the election, but there is a reason why huge amounts of money is spent on polls. Cruz has never beaten Bush on any poll. But Trump is beating Bush in so many polls.
Trump has far better name recognition. People today know TV stars better than politicians. As poster windflier said, “This is Ted’s first presidential rodeo, after having only been on the national stage a mere three years. That’s not really long enough to have cemented a resume’ of the type Americans normally look for in a future president.
However, eight years as VP would certainly put Ted in the best possible position to become President in 2024.”
Keep in mind Cruz is only 44, while Trump is 69!
