That's a fact.
In superficialities, I’d tend to agree. Cruz has a smoother style. Trump is rough.
In issues of depth, the question might be different. We don’t see many things that we can view as X-rays of Trump’s heart and Cruz’s heart, so when we do, we should take sharp notice.
One biblical observation I can make about Trump is that when he changes, it’s almost always to the right. There is a biblical adage about turning to the right, IIRC. To see where someone is going, you also have to see where they came from.
We have invested over in Ted Cruz and it comes down to this?
While distasteful act on Ted’s campaign part, where do we go?
Yeb! Hillary!
Trump? He is my #2, but primarily to shake things up.
I expect few conservative positions from Trump once we get into the general.
