Maybe not, but his straightforward attacks at political correctness is like a breath of fresh air in a stale, smoke-filled Leftist-dominated room.

Cruz would be filling the same bill, if the MSM wasn't so obsessive in their attacks on him.

Cruz is getting MAYBE 1/10 the negative coverage of Trump.

If Ted Cruz wants this nomination he'll have to find a way to rise above the also-ran field, poll better AND BEAT DONALD TRUMP.

I don't think he can do it. Mostly because he needs the GOPe money.

I know you like Cruz. He was my choice early on. But, my gosh, in spite of the outcry from many of his early supporters, he got very badly played on the trade deal and now it's a bad situation. Then there's his support of more H1B Visas, at a time when major US corporations are laying off US techies and having them train their foreign replacements.

Think about it. Cruz as VP, a very smart and experienced lawyer who knows and loves the constitution. A little in the background, undoing the damage Obama and the Supreme Court have done to the Constitution. Four (or eight) years of Trump, then eight years of Cruz. It doesn't work the other way, because Trump's age would become an issue in eight years. With that many years (12 or 16), maybe the US can be saved. And Cruz could bring along some younger politicians to keep it going.

If Cruz was up to the task he wouldn’t have waited for Trump to state what’s obvious regarding illegals and would have stood with Sessions on the TPA vote. It took Trump to point out that the free traitors are using these agreements to screw America.
