Ok....
Whatever Cruz has done before the election does not matter if his campaign style does not translate to people that are not interested in the nuances of Senate debating or maneuvering.
If it was then he would be where Trump is.
Trump’s style has. And he has defined the issues and the way the public wants it presented in this election cycle. Like it or not.
Cruz is not the type of person to have ever connected to voters the way Trump has, so he was fine to let Trump do the things that he is not very good at, while tailing him and echoing the sentiments. Or at least not wanting to be critical.
That is the reality of the perception. Trump goes in hard, Cruz follows in.
Didn’t say that it was 100% “fair”, just the reality.
you are on to something....and it’s not a bad something.
Everyone should read the portion of the article where Cruz and Abbott sort of run Texas’ appellate litigation strategy.
Pretty clearly...Abbott...who is exceptionally likable...was pleased with the strategy, but also clearly, it was Cruz’s strategy and it succeeded greatly.
Cruz doesn’t have to be President to fundamentally affect the course of the country.....and for a time, it might even be better if he were Trump’s strategist.....
