Because he won the white working class overwhelmingly. Every guy who swung a hammer wanted to have a beer with him. And he ran as an open American nationalist.
Can your slightly weird debating champ do that? I live among Reagan Democrats, I married into a Reagan Democrat family. I worked with them for many years.
Two things about the white working class: They love Trump. They hate Cruz.
Reagan did not win 45 and 49 states because he was a conservative.
Well, Cruz is just going to have to work all the more harder to win them over. Because let’s face it, he is the one who will benefit the working class the most out of any of the candidates. And as I said before, there simply is no other choice in this race.
We face an existential threat, and it is embedded in all of our governmental and cultural institutions from Washington D.C. on down. I don’t see anyone else who understands that threat, or who has the intestinal fortitude to do anything about the same, except Ted Cruz.
Do you?
