That is a good point. The politician who can’t rake in large donations is going nowhere, but those who can afford to give big $ expect a return on their investment.
Right now, though, just as crucial is a POTUS with, as the other poster said, a warrior spirit. Cruz seems like a nice person with good conservative positions. But what we need is a honey badger. At this juncture, that looks like Trump.
Trump is a patriot who doesn’t like seeing the US ‘go to hell.’ All indications are that he will fight, honey badger style, to secure the border and save the country.
And that is what we need.
