I am a conservative and I support Trump. Cruz is great, smart, conservative, great personal history but, but by nature I think Trump will is more suited to the Presidency.
Most importantly I don’t think Cruz can beat Hillary..
1.If Hillary was any other Dem it would be different, but it would be Cruz against her machine, Obama’s machine and the entire lying left. I don’t think Cruz could withstand the onslaught.
2.Cruz is “weak around the middle”, and will have a difficult time broadening his appeal. Trump’s message is similar to Cruz’s plus some. Trump has the ability to reach a much broader group of voters.
Any Republican nominee is going to be smeared. It is extremely difficult to survive the onslaught of lies the Democrats and the media use in a campaign.
The good thing is Cruz(and Trump) have already been hit with just about all the lies the media and the Democrats have.
The other Republicans candidates have not yet had to endure any media attacks. The media have supported them. Can you imagine if they actually had to face a relentless and hostile media? They would fold like a cheap suit.
We should wait and see how both Cruz and Trump do. See what the voters say. See how Cruz and Trump handle the media lies and smears.
I don’t see how conservatives support Trump, but I guess he says what they want to hear? I guess he has their support, but I sure don’t see how. I am from Iowa, I will attend my caucus, and I will vote for the most conservative candidate in the race.
