Ed Straker: Donald Trump: I have much better temperament than Ted Cruz

".......Trump's much more of a fighter, even than Ted Cruz, and we need a fighter.

But on the other hand, Ted Cruz is much more balanced. He doesn't pick enemies needlessly. Every word is measured and considered, which can be viewed as timid or thought-out, depending on your perspective.

Donald Trump is like a Terminator with no friend-or-foe sensor. He called Megyn Kelly a bimbo. I winced when he said that Ben Carson, a thoroughly decent man, has "pathological illness" when Carson was referring to his youthful violent nature. Trump made a nasty swipe at Ted Cruz's religion by saying "not many evangelicals come out of Cuba." He told a Jewish group that they wouldn't vote for him because they wanted a candidate they could control with their money. He wants to ban all Muslim immigrants for a time (which I support), but a much less incendiary way of doing it is to ban immigrants from ISIS-infested countries, as Cruz wants to do. Trump gets offended very easily and is quick to insult others and get angry. Not the best trait for the president of the United States, who may need to build alliances and bring people along.

So Trump has more of the aggressiveness we need, but maybe he is too aggressive in some ways. Ted Cruz is a little more cautious than I might like, but with few unnecessary and even puzzling outbursts..."

For all the negative things you post here on Trump, it doesn’t dawn on your that in the poll released today, Trump is favored in a number of categories at 50, 49, & 48%.

Cruz doesn’t top out at over 34 on any of the issues.

In the full list in that section, Trump beats Cruz by 407 to 400 votes.

In the next section Trump’s description of experience is picked 39 to 30% over Cruz.

There’s a lot of meat in that polling data for Trump.

So that negative picture you’re trying to paint, you’re using the wrong colors.
