Trump has framed the issues facing this country. None of the other candidates actually see them clearly because there own interests are tied to very different world-views. He has chosen to make his stand on that field, where he has an enormous strategic advantage, and when other candidates choose to shift the ground of the debate, they wander into a swamp no one really wants to hear about.
I would prefer a less flawed man to carry this agenda forward. But we don't have one, not one who can marshal the forces on this field to win this battle. Cruz is the leader of those who want to fight a battle in a far of land no one cares about.
Really? It's called America, and it's being attacked by zombies from the District of Columbia and the old New Left (which is really the Old Left -- the COMINTERN -- in drag).
Cruz has proposed emptying Washington agencies of as many Clintonista holdovers and Obama appointees as possible; Trump doesn't care about that stuff.
Trump wants to take on the NWO types, Manor Bush and all the school-tie, Ivy League ring-knockers. Cruz wants to take all those guys on, and also the subversive ACORN- and Revolutionary Communist Party-driven riot "activists", Truthers, and anti-Americans who want to put our country's majority under their bootheel dirigisme.
