Trump has created actual jobs and employed actual people.
Again...what has Cruz accomplished? Not "tried" to accomplish, but actually achieved? His inability to rally even his fellow Republicans in the Senate speaks volumes about his leadership skills. Essentially, he has none. He's a very smart guy, convinced of his own "Chosen" status; who can't lead, who inspires no one, and who lacks the skills to achieve meaningful legislative action. Other than that, he'd be a fine president.
Of course he has, if by employed you mean members of the multi-level marketing scams that he's run, and the phony professors at his Trump University. He was also fined a million dollars for employing Romanian illegals over Americans on one of his building projects. So, yeah, I guess you could say Donald "employs" people.
You're not going to get me to defend Cruz. He's a first term Senator like Obama, has accomplished next to nothing, and is disliked by those who work with him. But he doesn't stiff employees and creditors, nor has he ever cut off monetary support for a sick child, as Trump has.
Trump is a low-class, drink-from-the-toilet meat sack who would have screwed his own mother if it would have made him a dime. He has a low opinion of women, no core values, and goes out of his way to sling insults. He sure can talk, though, and he's got a whole lot of non-college-educated people whipped into a frenzy. He was a Democrat until the day before yesterday, but you wouldn't care if actually WAS a Democrat. You believe his wild promises even though NONE of them (emphasis on NONE) will come to pass.
Enjoy the ride........and the inevitable crash in November.
