"the situation in the USA has outgrown the finer points of political theory -- left, right and center or anywhere in between. It's far graver than that."

For those who don't get why some of us want Trump/Cruz for 8 then Cruz/WhoCares for 8 rather than Cruz/SomeoneElse for the first 8 years, it's exactly because if what's above. Cruz can't yet communicate (though he's learning) at a visceral level. Therefore, though he's technically the best candidate, he'd be ineffective in terms of how the country would actually be different after 4 or 8 years.

Let Trump reset the broken bone - which requires a brute force and charisma this minute ... by then - 8 years under (or even around - doesn't have to be Veep) Trump, Cruz will have learned a more Reaganish ability - how to actually reach and affect and change people and their thinking. Being 100% correct is not enough when you are leading a team or country. Cruz is 100% correct ... but he can't get people to follow yet. The people need to be partially retrained in what America is really, and then he needs to be trained in how to be the team captain.

I've said this a million times only because I'm convinced it's true. Americans have forgotten that perpetual shame is not normal, unless you're actually guilty of something. Right now, the country seems to believe it's actually guilty of some sin, but that only Obama and the left has the moral character to understand this sin. So, they just walk around vaguely guilty and depressed, resentful, outnumbered (even 'outnumbered' is only an illusion created by the media.)

Interestingly - it's the same symptoms shown by emotionally abused kids, and should ring a bell with all but the most hypnotized in America. We've all felt them trying to get us to buy into it. I refuse, most here have, but out there ... people are lingering in various extents of it.

If there's an antidote to shame, a model for not being ashamed of what you shouldn't be ashamed of -> it's Trump.

Hence ... Trump, then Cruz.
