I get what you're saying, and it's a legitimate point that Trump is a risk.

But here's what I'm saying about Cruz.

I agree with him on every single point. So, should I be president? Does the fact that he's right about everything translate into the country FOLLOWING THAT DIRECTION? Because he can't do any of it without the country following. Trump is the only one who's GOTTEN THE MESSAGE ACROSS TO PEOPLE to PERSUADE THEM that some of this stuff must happen.

The country will survive ObamBernieCare. it will not survive the the border issues, which will lead not only to so so so much damage and debt, but also a permanent Democratic electorate. Both of those things end America.

I say Cruz can not move America. I say Trump already has.

Following on that, I can certainly defend Trump on some but not all of his deficiencies. But note of those deficiencies translate into him actually enacting any of that stuff.

I'm not saying I'm right about my interpretation of this point -> I just don't see Cruz supporters answering the questions: WHO CARES HOW PERFECT HE IS? CAN HE MOVE THE COUNTRY IN THE DIRECTION OF HIS PERFECTION?

I say NO, at least not yet. The country MUST move if it is to survive. Even the worst of Trump's deficiencies taken to their extreme do not threaten the survival of the country. Cruz's deficiency does - that the country won't follow him in enough numbers, that he's not persuasive enough.

He's a lawyer and a debater, he's not yet a leader. Leaders MOVE things. Leaders BUILD things. Leaders CHANGE PEOPLE'S VIEWPOINTS. Along the way - they often make messes and do things that stain their reputations.

That's what all the Cruz supporters do not seem to include in their equation: We don't win by electing the perfect man. We win if in 8 years someone has led the country to a different place, to a different outlook.

With Cruz you will always get to be right. But there is a saying "you might be right, dead right."

Pardon misspellings I'm running out the door and can't proofread!!!
