From what I saw of Cruz in the presidential debates he couldn’t debare his way out of a paper bag. He got owned by a guy who never debated in his life. Besides Donald if you were paying attention was Rand Paul who is acerbic, quick, amusing and incredibly informed.
The master debtor got pwned by Trump on his New York values line with a 9/11 turn around that had Cruz applauding what Trump was saying.
That reminded med of Ronald Reagan "I paid for this Mic" moment when the other candidates applauded Reagan. When that happens it is a mental subliminal impression that they acknowledge Reagan was the leader and by Cruz and all on that stage applauding made Trump the leader.
He may not be the best politician on stage with his fellow Republicans, but he is articulate in his rallies and successfully argued before the USSC. Those who say he has done nothing while in the Senate are just plain wrong. He has fought against the GOPe since arriving.
Anyway, I'll vote for Trump and hope he appoints the best.
