Cruz's big donors are pro life, pro energy, anti illegal immigration, conservative and evangelicals.

There has been no vetting or investigation of Cruz's donors: Who they have supported in the past. How their political views have changed over time. I have to take the Cruz campaign's word that these people share the same agenda.

Both a wall and no amnesty are important. That's what Cruz is for.

But you have to be able to get it done in the political climate in DC. This is where talking around the media is important. Cruz has not shown he can get things done in DC or build a coalition to his way of thinking. He also has shown no ability to use the media to talk directly to the American people. He has no record of accomplishing the things he says he will do.

Cruz was a lone voice in the Senate, which is why he is running for president.

Yes he was and he was ignored very easily. DC will just ignore him as President. The media will trash him. He will run the risk of being challenged in a primary when it's time for a second term.

Polls show that against Clinton, Trump does poorly, or at least he does the worst out of all our candidates. That to me doesn't show Trump's ability to "talk around the media".

So what? Polls show Donald Trump beats Cruz for the Republican nomination. You have to do all sorts of pathway gymnastics to make Cruz competitive. Cruz brings nothing to the national election. He is a first term Senator, no record of business acumen, Hillary will beat him even after Obama pardons her for mishandling of classified information.

I've done the research. They are as I've said.

The wall has already been codified. It's the current Executive Branch, that is not building the wall. A Cruz administration will easily get it done.

I'm simply responding to your claim that Trump has successfully used the media. I think that's false. Trump's negatives are extremely high. People who successfully use the media don't have extremely high negatives. It instead suggests to me that the media is using Trump.
