That's because Trump, and Cruz to a lesser extent, are firing back at the media and exposing it for the clan of political hucksters it is. Traditional GOP candidates would have tucked their tail between their legs and slunk away.
‘Zactly
Agree
Trump’s first ‘non apology’ on the illegal immigration issue, and Kate’s murder which happens shortly thereafter, created a new model for Republicans.
Fight them. Never apologize. Don’t give an inch. Go directly to the people like Reagan did.
This ABC/ CNN ‘we don’t know why he did it’ nonsense (go t their websites today) will further erode confidence.
The internet has blown open the lid on truth. The MSM once had a death grip on the narrative. Yes, there was talk radio, but that was about it.
Trump has also exposed Fox News as part of the corrupt political system. Same group of people running the show as puppet masters controlling both parties. Trump has shown that’s the case.
Cruz really is in a great position right now. He’s a conservative lifelong with governing experience. So he’s got the ‘outsider’ chops with the insider knowledge. Plus, his personal story (dad persecuted in Cuba) is compelling and he’s a great debater.
Cruz is my first choice, but I like Trump. Either is acceptable and Trump at least could fund his own campaign.
Actually, Cruz has been fighting the media and Republican establishment before Trump came on the scene. His book (A Time for Truth) written before Trump was a factor, outlines it clearly.
Nevertheless I am a big fan of Trump’s bold attack style. It is much needed and has put the media and Republicans into a much-deserved case of apoplexy.
Trump and Cruz are both giants in my book. They just have different approaches to the same end.
