Great point! I wanted Scott Walker who has been a magnificent governor of the state that is six miles to my north. When he dropped, I chose Cruz over Rubio but never had any reason whatsoever to consider Trump from the moment when he whined about blood coming out of Megyn Kelly’s wherever. I don’t have to be a fan of Megyn Kelly or agree with her questions and their implications to recognize Trump’s attack on her to be beyond the pale. Neither Cruz nor any other GOP POTUS contender other than Trump had anything to do with that.
but i bet you anything you have endured a litany of abuse from the trump supporters for being a cruzbot or GOPe or supporting JEB etc. because any criticism of Trump means you are shilling for someone else and can’t stand the fact that trump is winning, in their book. i have far more respect for those that admit to trump’s rather egregious failings and nonetheless support him as the best we can do, than those who see him as the answer to all that ails us.
