Trump has done more than anyone else to bring immigration to the forefront in the national debate, and that is an exceptionally good thing for America. Cruz is in a primary campaign against Trump, and his rhetoric ignores Trump’s positives, as it should.
However, Cruz also has major accomplishments in the areas of opposing Obamacare, opposing funding for Planned Parenthood, and in general opposing big government. Most of his efforts were negative, but a negative that reduces the rate of growth of our bloated federal government is a big positive. Trump is in a primary campaign against Cruz, and his rhetoric ignores Cruz’s positives, as it should.
The two candidates are the two best hopes for America. My preferred candidate is Cruz (a review of my posting history will reveal that (1) I despise Obama as the most evil and most dangerous threat to America in history, and (2) I prefer Cruz over Trump politically). However, Cruz cannot get a first ballot win at the convention, and I do not believe the establishment will permit a later ballot to go for Cruz. Because of that and because I consider Trump the second best choice and the only viable choice in our primaries, I will be voting for Trump in my primary. Trump can win in the first ballot, but I do not believe he has much of a chance after that first ballot. I believe the establishment will do all they can to stop Trump if they get a second ballot at the convention.
The bottom line: Both are good choices, although there is a sharp disagreement on which is the best of the two. I don’t see a point in arguing over that question. Time will provide that answer. We should look at both honestly, even our second choice, and try to stop the pro-Amnesty, pro-Obamacare, pro-big government insiders who are the alternatives and who want to see us fight.
