That's exactly how I see your thread......and thank you for posting this.
I believe those “afraid” of a Trump Presidency have reason to be so. We do know he's played all sides which isn't necessarily a bad thing in it's place. However... as President Trump would find himself in a “Power Structure” he hasn't a clue how to navigate.....
....Washington is not China nor is it Mexico....it's a completely different beast who's halls are filled with landmines Trump has no idea where they are.
.... No matter how this race plays out, should Trump enter that domain 'he will not know how or to whom' to delegate quickly enough to stop the tide that will be against him there. Thus Trumps association now with Cruz and Sessions and those like them will be "critical".
I prefer Cruz lead this nation as he already knows those Halls and the players, the mind fields and "the laws" which need changing.....no learning curve....Cruz can hit the ground running...he already has those who will mount up and ride that beast when he gets there.
Methinks you wayyyy underestimate him. Look what mincemeat he's making of the press. He's the sort, when he sees a landmine, he defuses it and uses the explosive charge against the enemy.
Don't forget, he's had 40+ years of actively swimming the shark-infested waters of New York City.
