‘You think Cruz is trying to curry favor with Catholics?’
That is an excellent question. Namely, WHY is Cruz gushing/fawning over a Pope whose advice, if followed, would very shortly destroy even the vestiges of this once great country?
I wish I knew. Is the average Catholic pro wide open borders/unchecked foreign invaders, loss of sovereignty, economic ruin and the end of the US as we’ve known it?
I doubt even legal Mexican immigrants wish to see the country reduced to third world hellhole status.
The only category I can envision embracing the Pope’s national-suicide plan is the La Raza types. Are they really so numerous that they merit a big slobbering pander?
The crowds attracted by the Pope are the low-information Catholics. People who don’t actually pay any attention to what he says, or the appointments he makes, or the South American skulduggery and thuggery in the Vatican. They just see the white cassock.
I agree with Cruz 150% on the “issues.” But I think he’s a lousy speaker. Too programmed. Too many phony mannerisms—the stammer, especially. And the nasal voice. He’s NOT “taking off.”
Cruz is brilliant. But Trump is a fast-talking, funny New Yorker, and therefore SOUNDS smarter.
