Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have best records for doing what they promise

When Ted Cruz and Donald Trump meet on Thursday, it will be their second one-on-one get-together since mid-July. The two are gaining in popularity according to the latest polls released this weekend. They both know Jed Bush is the man to beat for the Republican nomination for President. Also recognized, by penetrating the sacred, powerful and shady capitalist’s protected turf, the vicious fury of the GOP and Democratic leadership is about to be unleashed against them in the media.

Bush, with the power of the Republican establishment in his corner, has raised about $104 million in campaign funds from super Political Action Committees (PACS). Cruz has netted about $37 million while Trump doesn’t need their money. He can be self-funded. Cruz, through private donations, has raised $15 million versus Bush’s $12 million.

Trump appreciates Cruz’s wisdom. Cruz is, after all, intelligent enough to separate from the crowd of presidential contenders, special interest activists, and politicians taking shots condemning Donald Trump. Like a heavyweight champion punching in the face to the media, big business, and big government elitists, Trump keeps pounding.

Millions of citizens, fed up with Washington rhetoric and broken promises, are tempted by Trump's refreshing messages, spiteful and boasting as they are. Cruz is maintaining his brand by delivering his honesty without demeaning the character of his fellow candidates. His sensible approach is to disagree with facts on issues without being loathsome.

Cruz can spar with the best of them. He repeatedly delivers answers to the media many of them don’t want to receive....

Yeah, I was reading an old New York magazine article about him. Some deputy mayor of NYC said he wouldn’t believe a word Trump said if his tongue was notarized.

Aha....you are very good at conflating!

Walker - Governor of a state, has lot of power as head of state. Can veto bills, reward cohorts with pork barrel projects, hand out jobs etc etc

Cruz - 1 out of 100 senators, most of them from the GOPe faction. Cruz can’t hand out pork, or veto bills.

I hope you understand the difference.

Cruz is an eloquent and spell binding speaker. Walker competes with Sominex pills.
