Would Trump voters who like a brash macho style switch to the rather odd personality of Cruz? I don’t know.”
Cruz doesn’t back down. As Carville said, “he’s fearless” Nine US Supreme Court arguments, his Senate filibusters, etc. In fact, Cruz is the type who when he walks into a room knows to his core that he becomes the smartest there. He can stare down a rabid pit bull.
2) Yep! He has principles and is a smart lawyer, but that doesn't mean he has leadership skills to get his principles enacted into law.
Trump supporter here but I have no problem with Cruz either. Cruz Trump, Trump Cruz it’s all good (for America)!
He’s fearless intellectually, but his personality and presentation is very different from Trump’s. I am voting for him and have been very outspokenly behind him on this site, but his personality is not everybody’s cup of tea, and that could be a factor.
