Cruz can’t win the general election.
“Carter will mop the floor with Reagan.”
That is my honest concern. I have to consider how popular this man is in the senate. He has very few allies there and while I am fine with him, others seem to believe he's singularly unlikable. Trump has not helped with this perception and used it effectively as a weapon.
However my gratitude to Trump was initially based on the fact, and yes, it's a fact, that he acted as a "flame shield" for Ted Cruz from the assaults of the leftist media. They were so focused on Trump that Cruz was able to make it this far. Trump just shrugged off attacks where I believe the left could have taken Cruz out by now.
Later, I felt I could support Trump as well. If for no other reason than a Trump/Cruz ticket could bring in Trump to break the back of the uni-party, and Ted Cruz could remain another 8 years to clean up the mess.
I still believe Cruz can make a close race and could even win the nomination, but I'm not opposed to Trump winning, build a wall and driving a stake through the heart of political correctness while the left goes nuts. That is a reality show I'd watch for 8 seasons.
But man, I hate watching people I value and respect go at each other this year, it's been really touch to read some of the flame wars.
Lucky for Ted...you only have one vote.
