I don't even see the resemblance to Murray, myself. Personally, I've always found Trump physically repulsive.
"If voting strictly on policy, I have to go with Cruz. On the other hand, Trump is very charismatic and shows a strong backbone. So, in the choice between a candidate who nearly exactly shares my views (Cruz), or a candidate who only shares about 70% of my views but has the strength and charisma to enact policies against the tidewaters of the Washington establishment--it's a tough call."
Not at all. Voting for charismatic people has led to problems more than once.
Cruz is strong, but he is also secure; he doesn't need to flail around and yell and brag about how wonderful he is. That kind of thing is a turnoff to me in general; I sure don't want it in the White House.
Cruz's life has been all about standing up to the Washington cartel, but it seems some conservatives are more interested in flash than substance right now.
The bottom line for me is that Trump is too liberal. Just tonight he defended eminent domain seizure. I won't vote for the man under any circumstances.

Won’t tear up Obama’s disasterous and illegal Iran nuke deal.
Will tell people what they want to hear but may or may not believe it himself.
It’s amazing how people can look at the same thing and yet see things so differently.
And then there are those who share the same visions.
Off to bed, have a good night, Catherine.
