Cruz’s persona seemed to lack personal depth, was more a plaster saint and less engaging than I’d have expected. Trump tested this eight ways from Sunday and the cracks appeared. I think better that we knew it from Trump’s challenges than that we knew it from the wider world’s challenges.
I believe the good Lord told Cruz, “No, it is not done this way.” If he can shake off the dominionist ideas, he might actually have some success later in his life.
His immense ambition overwhelmed his sense. Trump is ambitious but it’s tempered by a warm, fun personality. He simply connected to ‘ordinary’ people so much better than Cruz. That final confrontation between an oblivious Cruz and a humorous, redneck Trump supporter put it all together for me.
Did we ever figure out what the message (supposedly from God)”seek my face, not my hand” meant?
