The Cruz campaign has been taken over from inside and Ted has lost control.
He is not a strong enough leader to be President. Senator?, sure, but not President.
What you said here certainly seems to be true. He has lost control of his campaign. He’s a good senator.
He is not a strong enough leader to be President."
Yeah - I think that's exactly it, what's been revealed.
And it goes to what a lot of us (at least me - but I don't think I'm the only one nor was it rocket science of the intuitive kind) have been saying/sensing all along -> "Cruz better on paper, Trump will be effective though, and Cruz won't /can't". I thought that before it started looking like he might be getting bought as this thing goes along ... he's been showing his inability to lead people all along. And that doesn't make him a bad person - doesn't make leaders good people ... just means ... some can lead and manage, others can't.
There's more to the presidency (and fixing the country) than 'being a perfect on paper conservative.' Cruz is beginning to look good only on paper, and this isn't the first hint of it.
He's a lot of good things, but he's an awful manager and probably therefore not a good leader - that is - his ideas, perfect as they may be - remain just that - ideas - the equivalent of farts in the wind. THAT means we might get a perfect checkmarks president but we'll be no where in 8 years, and 'no where' means ... it's over by then. This country really has one last chance to caulk the damn to give it time to reinforce it.
