As I previously stated - I can find plenty enough to criticize both men. Neither is perfect on several fronts. However, that stated, I think Trump is better suited to the job because of his temperament and experience as an executive.
Senator Cruz is a first-time senator, and an attorney. Not to ridicule him for that, but we do not need another lawyer for this job.
Here is one reason for why I make that assertion: If required, do you believe Ted Cruz would authorize a nuclear strike on an enemy? I do not for one second believe that he has the personality to take that action. However, I have no doubt that, if need be, Trump would utterly annihilate an enemy of this country.
“Not perfect”...no, no candidate is perfect, but Trump is an ultra liberal on numerous key issues. What is conservative about supporting Obama’s stimulus (porkulus), for example? What is conservative about not supporting private property rights and supporting the outrageous Kelo v. Connecticut decision? What is conservative about not recognizing federalism and separation of powers? What is conservative about proposing more big government programs? That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
No, there is no perfect candidate - but Trump is liberal across the board. But at least he’s entertaining and “bold” about it.
