He is the best candidate we have- hands down- because he (Ted Cruz) UNDERSTANDS that the president of the United States of America is president of All the people of the United States-both those who agree and disagree with him.
This is absolutely crucial in order for healing and restoration of our nation to take place.
(Cruz being unflinching in his Christianity is a help in this area too.)
So far, I have seen NO evidence whatsoever that Trump has even a basic grasp of what being POTUS means.
His campaign is mostly personal insults and smears of his opponents, and surface level, often contradictory policy statements.
We can also add his (Trump's) refusal to debate about anything he suppossedly stands for on any given day to the list.
(And this is without even getting into Trump's sky high negatives and the numerous polls showing he flat out loses to Hillary- whereas Cruz beats her, or is at least in a competitive margin of error.)
Ted Cruz is a much better candidate for POTUS IMO and I am actively praying that he will be our next president.
My prayer offsets your prayer. Got any friends praying?
A Cruz rally is a few hundred at best compare that to Trump's rallies
We can have a nominee who lost every county last Tuesday and in Florida, Virginia and Ohio.
You prefer Cruz to any other candidate. Understood. but he is grossly unelectable for the following reasons.
1. He has lost the entire South and you can not win the GE without that strong support.
2. He has lost every congressional district and county in the key battleground states. Florida, Ohio, and Virginia. The nominee MUST win FLORIDA and at least 3 other swing states: OH< VA< PA <NV < NH < CO.
3. He would be Disqualified very easily and kept off the ballot in a number of states that require candidates to show an American BC to be listed on the GE ballot for potus or v.potus.
4. His religious theatrics are marginalizing and polarizing to most of the electorate. He brings NO democrat cross-over votes and few Independents.
At this point, Ryan, Sessions, or any other non-primaried republican politician would stand a better chance than Cruz. Cruz is damaged goods.
It is too bad for Cruz that most states use voters to select their winner. He does not seem to do well with voters.
