Both men have had successes and failures.
Trump said you can’t just come out and call the party’s leaders liars, because then they won’t deal with you. Maybe that’s the “smart like a fox” thing, but by the same token we’re way past due for somebody biting the bullet and simply telling us the truth and letting the chips fall where they will. Trump should know that. He’s popular largely because he does that. That’s what I love about Trump.
I guess I would say Trump is more shrewd. Cruz has the deeper understanding and the belief that truth and what’s right win on their own merits, without having to deal in the smoky backrooms. Cruz as never really been about knocking out people; he’s always been about knocking out IDEAS, and that’s why I think he has the better brain, even though to be successful sometimes brawn is what gets you there.
Truth is, we need both brains and brawn. It bugs me that brawn is trying to kill off brain, and brain is trying to kill off brawn. I wish they were both fighting off this boa that’s squeezing all our necks instead.
I hate politics.
My dream ticket would be Trump/Cruz I just hope this infighting doesn’t make that impossible!!
