Cruz is head and shoulders above the circus sideshow. Circus sideshows are not presidential. Ted Cruz is.

We have an awful chasm of disconnect between politics and a people who feel powerless. If Trump can connect, great.
Trump and Cruz have actually been pretty respectful towards one another. I think both understand their futures are likely intertwined.
