Trump and Cruz are very different in style. In substance, I am 99% confident that Cruz is sincere, but far less sure he could have won in November. I am far less confident that Trump is sincere, but far more confident that he can win in November. Still, they mostly agree on Obamacare, the Second Amendment, Immigration, and many other key issues.
Ronald Reagan had it right on why Cruz fans should support Trump. See my tagline.
Excellent post. Excellent tagline. I don’t agree with everything you said. For example, I do believe Trump is sincere (though not as conservative on some issues). But I do think what you said was well said. You are right about mostly agree on important issues.
I would like to add one more thought: not only is Trump more electable (Cruz would have been Goldwater’16), but more able to get his way with congress.
Trump is an unknown quantity. I prefer an unknown who has the ability and the drive to do what has to be done to a known who will impose a Stalinist system on the nation that cannot be shed by something so simple as another election. Future elections would be tightly controlled and the opposition would be neutralized or dead. Full blown communism is not an acceptable alternative to the unknown.
Worth repeating since it is my position as well.
And note MY tagline.
I’m with ya there. I was a Cruz supporter in the early days, but began to understand why people just don’t like him as the campaign wore on. Cruz is certainly more of a constitutional purist than Trump, but no more a patriot...
