I started out as a Ted Cruz supporter. It was both Ted’s conduct and conduct of Cruz supporters on this forum, as much as listening to Trump that caused me to change my position. Now that that is out of the way.

I think it is possible that Ted Cruz has never really lost at anything before. That’s not uncommon for really smart people who have been basically academics their adult lives and a State solicitor is basically a lot like a legal academic more than a normal lawyer.

In a legal brief or argument before a court you are not required to be likable. The guy just come comes across as unlikable. I don’t think he realizes just how unlikable he appears when he talks. His mannerism, somewhat squeaky voice and demeanor remind me of a younger Hillary Clinton; slimy, duplicitous and obsequious. Maybe that is unfair but I don’t think I’m alone in the perception. Though it would explain how people that supported him could vote for Clinton.

More importantly other than claiming to be the only “consistent Constitutional conservative” (Whatever that means) in the race what did his campaign stand for?

Other than a tax plan which I didn’t like I never heard him speak to issues. I never heard Ted Cruz talk about what he was for. He just complained about Trump. Maybe the Donald set that up; I don’t know; if so Trump out smarted the Harvard Lawyer.

Trump, on the other hand says “This is what I’m gonna do and Ted Cruz was lying when he said I won’t” He’d outline his positions. I found Trump to be more believable and forthright.

I’ve been wrong before
