Justa :" I agree with Dennis. Cruz is my first pick but he’d be stonewalled and out-charisma-ed by Congress and the media.
He would be frozen-out and eventually forced to do their bidding.
If you can’t win the media war you cannot govern effectively.
Trump has shown he can win the media war."

I whole-heartedly agree with your analysis .
Neither candidate is perfect, but the alternative party candidate would be disastrous !

Cruz is a constitutional conservative, Trump is not.

Trump “winning the war” would be a Pyrrhic victory. I don’t want someone who will make deals with democrats and who seemingly has no ideological compass. I want someone who will undo the damage the democrats have done.
