I choose Cruz before he announced.......and I also determined that during Ted’s campaign I would have no expectations about what might be said or misconstrued, having worked in campaigns myself. Rather give him loads of wiggle room to make the necessary adjustments along the way.....he must appeal to all voters without compromising his positions on the issues...and that can be tricky when the press and other candidates field their stuff.
I learned not NOT vote according to how someone does in a campaign race.....rather I search carefully beforehand as we all know the media gets it’s nose snotty if there’s not a story, real or fabricated, to run with for viewer ratings.
Cruz was accustomed to the media ignoring him when he first got to Washington, when both sides of the aisle saw clearly Cruz was not going to play in their game....and if there was news it was always unfavorable to Cruz as the politicians pulled used their leverage with the media cards they had in their hands.
He had a great win in Iowa but the media ran Trump as if he was the winner...and this carson story , with Rubio’s staff help, to attempt to take Cruz down.....But it takes more than that to really rattle Ted Cruz because he understands fully how things work.....and why is ground game was so designed to operate........it’s really a stunning ground game if you’ve been watching it.....there’s a reason it’s said Cruz Cruz’s right along. He really doesn’t get shaken....and that’s a major trait I like to see in a President.
I’m very comfortable supporting Cruz regardless of what happens in the race.......he’s solid as a rock and we all know the foundation he stands on....which is where my trust remains.
I respect your position. Good luck and may the best man win.
