He may be the best conservative, but

“He may be the best conservative, but

Is he the best on waterboarding? No

Has Cruz run any large enterprise? No

IMHO Trump has the best chance of making a big change in Washington. He does not care what the media says and has run his campaign with his own money. He owes no one anything.

****************************************

My personal opinion on electable in the general is no, sad as I am to say that. He will be demonized and ‘Palinized’ from the get-go.

1.) He basically single handedly defeated Rubio-Schumer amnesty and he is not in favor of touch-back amnesty like Trump is.

2.) According to the latest Quinipiac Poll on 2/5 he does much better than Trump in the general....

Cruz / Clinton(EVEN) - 45%, 45%
Cruz / Sanders - 42%, 46%
Trump / Clinton - 41% 46%
Trump / Sanders - 39% 49%

Try another attack. Those dogs won’t hunt.

“Is he electable in the general?”

More electable than Trump.

“Is he the best on immigration?”

Better than Trump.

[RasterMaster]

Cruz is more consistent than the windsock candidate....and alot more trustworthy than the alternative.
