I wish I was wrong. I have a very close relative that worked for Cruz when he was Solicitor General in Texas. He was not known as a people person and was very challenging to get along with.... He is a VERY talented legislator, but just doesn't come across very well on the public stage.
I supported Cruz over Trump in the Texas primary. He just doesn't have the gift of BS like is needed to run for President.
@txradioguy
And yet everyone praises Trump to the high Heavens for being gruff...blunt and not people friendly.
He's one of...if not the most Conservative politician we've had run for President since Reagan. He speaks to the people...not the tv cameras and the idiots on CNN.
Please see my post about "optics" earlier and why I give less than a damn about whether he looks good for the press or has the gift of BS.
If he stands up for and espouses the conservative principals most Americans live their life by...he's pro military and strong on defense...fiscally conservative...which he checks all those blocks then optics be dammed he's the one this country needs.
Cruz was my write in vote in the national election in 2016.
And I would have no reservation voting for him again in 2024.
