A couple of points - Obama isn’t running again, so Cruz will NOT have an opportunity to debate him. We are not electing a champion debater, but a Commander in Chief.
This article really helps clarify what I couldn’t put my finger on about Cruz - he isn’t a strategist - he’s a weasel. I think he is using Trump - there I said it! Yes, Trump is arrogant and bombastic at times, but Cruz is underhanded, scheming and has an air about him that turns me off. He used to be my number 1, and then I had him as VP pick, now - he is dead to me and will not get my vote should Donald leave the race or not get the nomination. And, please - Cruz bots - do not try your conservative crapola to try and make me feel guilty if I choose not to vote for him. He’s been lurking and cozying up to Trump - hoping he will fall so he can pick up his voters. NOT ME! Sneaky little snot is what he is. I also think he staged all these battles on the floor of the Senate to try and boost his status as an outsider who stands up to the DC cartel - as he calls them. Yeah, he’s good at speechifying, but, there is something ruthless underneath that demeanor.
If this is Cruz’ idea of “leading” and “fighting”....to bite at ankles when he’s polling 6%....and yapping that he’ll get Trump’s votes...then, no thanks.
I’ve supported Cruz with my time and $$.
I’ve been sorely disappointed in his H-1B visa stance and his “Trade” agreement support. This is the final straw. He’s sounding like Bobby Jindal, now :(
Well said, and I agree.
As an original Cruz supporter.....it was an eye opener when my focus changed about him.
Not too keen on his wife either,
“I also think he staged all these battles on the floor of the Senate to try and boost his status as an outsider who stands up to the DC cartel...”
Note that he did not grandstand TPA or the Corker bill. He does that AFTER he voted for them.
