Take a look at the latest state polls Cruz is not exactly leading the pack or even close to it.

Cruz is a policy wonk. He is clearly the most intelligent and articulate candidate in the field. However, he is unable to connect to the average voter. Debate winners are not necessarily election winners.

The MSM has also taken a lot out of Cruz in terms of public perception. He has become the punchline of many late night comedian jokes. Unlike Trump, he cannot rebound or thrive from it.

And Cruz has been seen as the odd man out, which doesn't help him with the GOPe types. He is not a team player. It is a good for most of us, but it doesn't help him with many of the voters. Trump is the true outsider who has more credibility when he rails against the Washington Cartel, as Cruz describes it.

Bottom line: Cruz lacks the charisma and energy to attract dissatisfied voters compared to Trump. And he has feet of clay when it comes to the immigration issue.

One other matter. Do you believe Cruz is a natural born citizen as described in the Constitution?
