Let me play devil’s advocate here - you respect Cruz’s judgment when hie staffers told him not to trust McConnel and he did anyway? And, Sarah campaigning again for McCain’s win in the last senatorial election? Sorry, I just couldn’t resist. I’m a Trump/Cruz/Palin supporter, however, they all have their warts.
Yep, you're right. Even Reagan made a wrong turn now and again. I guess the moral here is don't fall too deeply in love with any candidate.
