Good points AAA. I have always been a fan of the old test "Who would you want to have a beer with?" . It definitely aint Cruz. I am not a Trump supporter but throwing a few beers down with Donald Trump would be an absolute blast.
I think you're correct. What you describe is how I'm feeling about him, and my support is not what it once was. The Chris Matthews tingle is fading.
Yeah, but see I don't judge Presidential candidates by whether I'd have a beer with them or not. Lots of awesome folks I know and have a beer with would make horrible Presidents.
Like him or not, Ted Cruz is probably the most qualified candidate we have had in a long long time..... It's laughable, because qualifications meant nothing 8 years ago.
