I agree with you Norm. Cruz is my first choice as well, but dammit unless he gets some traction and his numbers up into Trump territory, he's just not going anywhere. I think his strategy right now (non-critical of Trump, and collaborating with Trump where possible on issues they agree) is the best he can manage.

There is a vast undercurrent of pro-Trump sentiment among the American people, and I've seen nothing like it since late 1979, I remember traveling through a very rural section of North Carolina, stopped for gas at a two pump little station, and saw a huge bright red "REAGAN" sign in the window of the station, I told the man I liked that sign, and he smiled with a knowing grin and said "That man IS going to be our next President, bet the rent on it!".

Even early in the game in '79, the momentum was already flowing to Reagan, just as it is to Trump.

NC breathed new life into Reagan’s campaign in 1976. There was some history behind the support, it predated the 1980 campaign.

If he wins, I’m sure he will be an improvement over what we have now, unlike the last guy that ran. But that’s relative. I don’t see him winning me over but I would however like him to try. Trump governing to the right would be a great thing. One way or the other, when he wins, I wish him success.
