I just don’t see it.
Cruz is already charm and personality-challenged as it is, and after Trump I think that’ll be all the more glaring.
Compared to which of the other remaining candidates?
I agree. Plus he isn’t going to attract voters across the ideological spectrum like Trump.
I’ll give you that Donald has a much bigger personality....than anyone running, not just Cruz. But I don’t think Cruz is “charm challenged” - unless you buy the mainstream media portrayal of him. Which I do not by the way.
The other thing to consider is this: a huge in your face personality is great...for a while....but won’t it get tiring after a while? This is a marathon, not a sprint. Maybe Trump is Secretariat...and while a sprinter, he can also muster the distance too. But those are once in a generation traits.
Trump has a charming personality?
You haven’t paid enough attention to him.
I personally don’t think a president needs to be charming, he DOES NEED to be the smartest one of the bunch with the best solutions to fix this country and that’s Cruz.
I don’t care about charm in a candidate. The only qualification that means anything to me is whether the candidate understands the Constitution and will defend it with his life to the point of exhaustion like Ronald Reagan did.
