I am telling you, the hate fired at Trump only strengthens him. The fact is, though, Trump is facing all this media vitriol because he is the front runner. If Cruz were in first, they would attack him.
I have not made up my mind yet, but am wondering right now if a Trump/Cruz ticket might not be the best way to go. Two mid term election cycles for these two guys to campaign for Constitutional congressional candidates, plus whatever they can accomplish in the meantime.
One or two concerns....first, suppose they do win. Would the hare brained GOP Congress refuse to cooperate with them? Look, it has happened before. Jimmy Carter ran in 1976 as a Washington outsider (he was), and even with BOTH houses of the legislature SOLIDLY in Democrat hands (post Watergate backlash), he had trouble convincing Congress to go along with him.
Also, Trump is on the wrong side of the New London SCOTUS decision.
Third, I would rather see Cruz on the Supreme Court.
Thoughts?
My take is that Trump would be more effective than Cruz in pushing forward his agenda. It’s one of the reasons I support him. No knock on Cruz, but no one has the ability to cajole, pressure, and all around bull doze through the intransigent media and political class.
As far as the Kelo decision? It’s one issue among many. In practical terms, his support for it probably wouldn’t have much effect either way as President. It’s mostly an issue with the courts it would seem.
My feeling is there are too many issues in which he’s dead on to walk away because of his opinion on Kelo.
