The so called middle or moderates tend to be people who are less knowledgeable and less informed.
To moderate means to limit. Moderate means limited. They tend to be people with limited knowledge and limited commitment to principles. They go along to get along. They tend to be the least interested, the last the understand what is going on and the last to make up their minds. They are followers, not leaders.
The Cruz voters are the most knowledgeable and astute. They have already figured out what is going on. The moderates will follow sooner or later.
That is why the media continually attack Cruz. They are hoping the uninformed will not be able to figure it out by themselves and blindly accept whatever lies and distortions the media throws out.
I am a conservative and I support Trump. Cruz is great, smart, conservative, great personal history but, but by nature I think Trump will is more suited to the Presidency.
Most importantly I don’t think Cruz can beat Hillary..
1.If Hillary was any other Dem it would be different, but it would be Cruz against her machine, Obama’s machine and the entire lying left. I don’t think Cruz could withstand the onslaught.
2.Cruz is “weak around the middle”, and will have a difficult time broadening his appeal. Trump’s message is similar to Cruz’s plus some. Trump has the ability to reach a much broader group of voters.
...The Cruz voters are the most knowledgeable and astute...
They are so knowledgeable they know that Cruz won’t be influenced by his wife, who is only on leave (not quit) from Goldman Sachs, who is a proponent and partial designer of the North American Union, and a former member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
They are so knowledgeable that they know that Cruz won’t be influenced in any way by his big donors, including the Club for Growth.
They are so astute that they overlook someone will challenge his very eligibility based on his birth in Canada.
They are so astute that they know he didn’t really mean his support of a huge increase in H-1B and his vote on TPP, and he was really fooled by colleagues.
I do not call that knowledgeable or astute. They are more than anxious to vet every other candidate but their own.
