There’s a tremendous difference in tone, and yes, somewhat on policy. Immigration and the Middle East and national security for example.
But the biggest difference is in tone. Paul wants to pander to liberal yutes and African American by pretending to believe what they believe, and by slamming other Republicans. Cruz will have NONE of that, and wants to convince those people that conservatism is right.
Only B: has ever worked in electoral history.
Yeah, Cruz is my first choice, Paul might be an acceptable second choice. But right now Cruz has my vote. I think Cruz is going to be very hard to beat in a GOP primary, unless the Rats show up and vote. Which is likely to happen if the Rat primary is uncontested and boring.
