Because either a bulldozer or a Constitutional surgeon
could destroy the cancer that is liberalism and political correctness.
In fact it would be a beauty thing to see the two work in concert.
It would suck if folks were soured on either of them by mindless cheerleading.
Cruz doesn’t have the independence Trump has. Trump’s children and grandchildren are safe and protected. Cruz is not strong enough in resources or ego to fight the oligarchy. And they will fight dirty. Cruz can’t protect his children independently of the government. If Trump can shine light on the corruption and clean the swamp, Cruz can be a post-oligarchy President of the kind we were supposed to have from the Constitution. I bet even Cruz would have to admit that.
VERY well put!
Given that Trump would never accept the Second Banana position, there is only one logical person to support in the primaries -- Trump. He has given every indication that he wants Cruz as his right hand in some vital capacity. Cruz could then follow Trump for another 8 years. But if we elect Cruz now, we don't get half of what Trump has to offer -- we may not get much at all. He can retire to Scotland where he has large holdings.
Plus, Cruz is too openly evangelical to win the general at this time with our dumbed-down and debauched nation, which is in need of the Twelve Steps to break its addiction to selfish, sensual, narcissistic stupid, short-term and anti-religious impulses.
