Why are the Trumpsters so enraged that Cruz is so much more intelligent than Trump ? I will vote for either one, but intellectually, by any measure, Cruz runs circles around Trump. Grits is grits.

Watch the video in 14.

Trump is many moves ahead and levels above Cruz.

How do you measure intelligence though, in this circumstance? Rafael might be book smart and well-versed in the minutia of policy details, but Trump has horse sense and is a big-picture leader who empowers people.

Rafael is not a natural leader and it shows by his sucking up to the GOPE.

It isn’t we are enraged by Cruz and his rabid support, it is we are disgusted by the blatant brainwashing you folks suffer from. It is an anomaly I have never witnessed so badly on the conservative side before. In truth, Cruz doesn’t truly understand the basic mechanics of free market principles...that has come out during the debates.

That’s why Cruz has Neil Bush on hos campaign staff, because Cruz is so smart. You remember Neil Bush from the Silverado Savings and Loan scandal where over 1.6 billion $$ disappeared. Opps

Or how about the ex-Cruz campaign manager starting a blacklist of Trump supporters for the party to punish after the welection.

You presuppose facts not in evidence.

“intellectually, by any measure, Cruz runs circles around Trump.”

I disagree. Just compare what did Trump accomplish in life vs. what Cruz did.

He isn’t. Trump is the smartest candidate this country has had.

Stupid is as stupid does. Trump is a winner who surrounds himself with smart people. Cruz is a loser who surrounds himself with freaks and jerks. Trump has accomplished so much more in life than Cruz, has built more and done more than Cruz, and has shown Cruz up at every turn.
But go ahead and underestimate Trump. It’s worked so well for the GOPe.

Intelligence - book wise, is one thing, but common sense and good judgment is another. Ted lacks both. Grits is grits.

“but intellectually, by any measure, Cruz runs circles around Trump”

There are many different forms of intelligence, and while Cruz may have a raw IQ higher in some fashion or other, Cruz seems to lack common sense and certainly almost completely lacks wisdom.

I’ve seen an awful lot of “smart” people do REALLY stupid things that less “smart” people would consider doing.

how do you substantiate your comment re their intelligence? You Libs think that because you say something that it is factually accurate. Regardless, what has Cruzz accomplished? Has he built anything? Has he run a business? Has he ever hired an employee? Does he have any accounting, finance, securities, economics experience or background?

You underestimate Donald Trump at your peril! Yeah, Cruz is a slick lawya from Haaavaaad, but he comes across as an arrogant self-absorbed little prick, which is why he hasn’t accomplished squat as a Senator. Both he and Boobio were just trying to milk their Senate seats for a presidential bid, and it hasn’t worked. If we had a Republican Party that was worth a $hit, this would be over already and Trump and the Party could get on with winning the election. Hopefully, the few decent Republicans left ( like the bunch that met with trump today) will start to prevail within the party and drive a decision to coalesce around Trump and get on with it.
