“You will, at least till Cruz muffs something, then your perfectionometer will be searching, searching, searching again.”
Cruz is a consistent Constitutional conservative. I have seen him in action on the Senate floor, courtesy of CSpan. Your comment has nothing to do with the reality of who I am, and who Ted Cruz is. And making a mistake does not change the fundamental nature and character of a person. Cruz reminds me of Reagan.
Now I know that my comment has everything to do with both...
Reagan was only middling. He ran with Bush, remember.
He had a halo... and so does Cruz. Trouble is, halos can hide things that matter.
To clarify... Reagan and Cruz encouraged the idea of American pride. Reagan’s halo area was rugged individualism, Cruz’s halo area is a touted constitutionalism. Both are revered icons in Americana. Both also miss even larger issues.
Trump is not playing to American pride so much as urging that we do things that will make America something to be proud of again. This means work before flattery. It doesn’t sell so well to a certain set.
