I like Cruz a lot. I hope he gets elected. My only nit with Cruz is that he is a little over the top dramatic now and then. Not in what he says, but in how he says it. A little to much drama. But not that it would keep me from voting for him.
Yeah, I hear you on Cruz. He’s also IMO more political than he sometimes lets on—e.g., backing the Corker bill and TPA.
But that problem with Cruz’s delivery IMO will keep him from either the nomination or ultimate victory, and in office would make him utterly incapable of speaking over the media to the people directly. (That is what is “Reaganesque” about Trump, though Trump is of course less eloquent among other things.)
So better that Trump continue to roll out sound policies (e.g., no trade protectionism) and get someone like Cruz to join him as his veep. That, I think, would be a great combination.
