When one looks at Cruz and Trump from before they ran for President, what did one see?

Cruz = a life long consistent history and past that reflects that he is a man of honor, principles, convictions and morality. He does what he says he will do, he stands on principles, he isn’t swayed or coerced into doing something that he doesn’t believe is the right thing. He has a solid marriage, isn’t a known philanderer, isn’t known for doing underhanded things, and quite the contrary, is known for standing for the rule of law and upholding the Constitution. Before running for President, most people thought of Cruz as a hero, one of the few in our government who was actually fighting for WE THE PEOPLE, and doing what he was elected to do. He was revered among voters, and hated among his peers/politicians.

He ran for Senate in 2012 against an establishment elite, who had tons of money and influence. During that race, David Dewhurst threw everything but the kitchen sink at Ted Cruz. IF Ted had a past that was dirty, IF Ted is the sleazy, underhanded guy that Trump and his followers are making him out to be, Dewhurst would have found it and used it. Ted has already been vetted, hard core, and nothing of real substance was found. Ted won the Senate seat, against all odds.

So, we’re being made to believe this man who has a consistent history, as explained above, suddenly in the last 3 years, has become a corrupted, philandering, lying, sneaky, smarmy villain, out to get the American people and pretty much achieve the very exact opposite from what he’s always stood for.

VERSUS

Donald Trump = has a lifelong history, past and record, of being a little rich kid who always has gotten his way, and attacks and tears down those who oppose him. An attention seeker, who loves the spotlight, loves controversy, and loves being at the center of it. He has known ties to corrupt politician and some in the mob, by “making deals” and getting things done, at any and all costs. He has a record of cheating people, screwing the little guy, and doing whatever is necessary to get himself to the top. He is known for his arrogant pride and for being a sleazy businessman. Before running for President, most people thought of Trump, as a joke, brushing off things he said and not taking anything he said seriously.

Trump has a record of switching parties, switching opinions, funding Democrats and Republicans and various other groups, in order to get “favors” (as he bragged). Trump sees no problem using loopholes in the law, to get around things, or take advantage of the system, to his gain. Trump has been married 3 times. His personal affairs, relationship failures and promiscuities have been in the media for years. He often speaks proudly of his conquests. And his record on how he treats women is atrocious.

Aside from several business successes, Trump has also been known for many of his failed business ventures. Trump is involved in many legal disputes and is being sued by numerous people for fraud and/or misrepresentations. He’s also been called out on many of his lies and scams that he’s tried over the years and the many times he’s flipped and flopped over many issues, time and again.

And we’re supposed to believe Trump is now an honest, above the board, sincere, trustworthy man of principles and convictions who isn’t capable of doing anything underhanded or sleazy? And as well, someone who is a man of his word now, and can be believed to do as he says?

Sorry, but when both of these mens past, record and history, are taken into account, I think the upside down thinking involved in order to fit the slander and smear agenda against Cruz and to support and praise Trump, is not only delusional, but completely illogical and unbelievable.
