For those who are wondering if Ted Cruz is a better choice than Donald Trump? He is not. Both are entirely unpredictable, extreme, and unrepentant liars. In my humble opinion.
Well if you are a liberal, I could see how you might think that. There's a small chance that Trump would revert back to being a Democrat once elected and rule as a liberal dictator.....that said, Cruz is a legitimate if flawed candidate. Trump is not.
I wonder how undecideds are viewing cruz. He's definitely bent over for the Evangelical base, and they seem to be a solid sounding platform for his engineered hail and brimstones ploys in the name of the greater good.
Ted Cruz has swept the first 6 delegates in Colorado, with more apparently on the way. Colorado has seven congressional districts that caucus individually for three delegates each, and then the party will pick 13 at its convention, with three more already set aside for party bigwigs. The Trump patrol and the Kasich kabal have sent people out to make a last ditch effort in Colorado and North Dakota, but Cruz has apparently been working these states since last summer. His organization is looking pretty strong in these states. Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare, people. The tortoise and the hare. It may prove to be instructive for how this contest between Cruz and Trump plays out the rest of the way.
I think Trump would be worse. In fact, the theatrical aspect of his campaign (which was enjoyable for a while) is now such a giant embarrassment for our country that the faster he crumbles, the better. Trump won't win the GOP nomination and there is a chance Cruz won't either.

assuming those numbers are true, funny how the people at Fox Business think that -9.5 is greater than -1
Ted Cruz is out-hustling Trump in the process of recruiting delegates in Arizona, which Trump won decisively last month. If Trump wins 1,237 on the first ballot, it will not matter, he will be the nominee. But if he doesn't win on the first ballot, it appears that the majority of the delegates in Arizona will vote Cruz on the second ballot and presumably thereafter if more than two ballots are required. Of course there are other states where this is going on as well, such as North Dakota, where it appears that Cruz won 18 of 25 delegates that he endorsed in Saturday's party convention there, which is also mentioned in the article above.
Yeah but Cruz acts civilized. Trump is proof that money can't buy class. We are talking about someone with his finger on the button, someone who will be dealing with heads of state abroad, someone who will be representing this country.
Ted Cruz has apparently defeated Donald Trump in North Dakota, taking 18 of the 25 delegate slots. It is not clear how many delegates are aligned with Trump, if any. These delegates will not officially show up as Ted Cruz's until they actually vote for him at the convention, as they are all technically unbound. But Cruz did the advance work to help make sure that they go his way. Donald was apparently too busy running around trying to clean up all of the messes he created last week to make time to be there. His loss.
I think there is little doubt about that. I could easily envision Cruz taking this country to another multi-trillion dollar value, whereas Trump has said in effect we are not the world's police.
Never you mind, "Fox Business News" has expertly calculated an other-worldly 13% growth rate following absurdist tax cuts under President Cruz! It works like this: 1. Massive tax cuts 2. ??? 3. Cruz waves magic God Money wand. 4. ??? 5. All historical precedent becomes void. 6. Profit!!! I can't believe Fox is even allowed to broadcast. And how can you even predict Trump's effect on economic growth when he doesn't really have a policy. LOL. That data is about as valid as asking a random 7 yr old to make up three numbers for you.
Trump is more of a sideshow with no rule allegience. Cruz is a tea-party republican mixed with evangelicalism. I fear Cruz much more.
