He's a deal maker. Trump's platform is the most conservative in my lifetime. While I have my doubts that he will get very far with it, I have no doubt that Cruz equals more of the same corrupt crony capitalism that has put us in this position.
That and the fact that Canadians aren't allowed to be President under the present Constitution.
I look at the fact that Trump has a long history of getting things done as a very promising sign.
Really good deal makers know how to get their way while making their opponents feel like they are getting *their* way. Everyone is happy with a good deal. True, Trump is going to come up against that political cabal, but he does have a great negotiating point against them: he has the support of an American electorate who is tired of politicians who do not represent them.
In addition, Trump has great hair and a lovely family, which I am sure will set a much more positive mood for the country than the current occupants of the White House have set.
