I'm sure South40 is a good guy, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time with him. Just that he doesn't seem to see the big picture. Yes, Ted Cruz is a far better conservative than Donald Trump. But if Donald Trump can pull off gaining the GOP nomination, it will be a GOP landslide in November. This will put Ted Cruz in much better position to gain the presidency later on. Remember that Cruz is still 44. He's got another 20-25 years to earn his place in history.
Trump and Cruz have already been meeting with each other and I think they are developing a special working relationship to help get this nation turned around.
