He never said one disrespectful thing. And he stood up for himself and was not intimidated by the blustering Jorge. And he did too raise his voice.

Interesting the comments made here about a person who does not care to be politically correct, does not like to put up with BS, does not seem to dance around hurting feelings or mincing words about the people who helped get us into the mess we are in. He does not seem to give a damn what other people think. "Here I am, like me or not, but I am here to take care of business." What an odd individual. How could anyone support an individual like that rather than a normal politician who tries to smoozie everyone while taking millions from special interest groups?

IF, Cruz could claw his way to the top, I'd support him. His biggest issue is that he never has fun with it, which makes him less appealing. Every time Cruz rails against the machine, people look at him and say, "Why's he so angry?". When Trump does it, they yell "Yeah!". The difference is HOW Trump does it. Like it or not, Trump brings the entertainment value. He's standing in the center of the arena with his arms raised asking "Are you not entertained?!!!”


Cruz should be studying Trump and learning to temper his fire with a little relatability.

...As the late great political scientist Aaron Wildavsky taught us years ago there are four fundamental political types: egalitarians, individualists, social conservatives, and-the ones we forget about-what he called “fatalists.”

We tend to forget the fatalists because they tend not to vote. They view the world as foreign, chaotic, ephemeral, dangerous, on the edge of falling into bedlam. He used the analogy that their world is like a marble rolling unsteadily on a glass surface, rolling and pitching who knows where. Government has some control but is run by an untouchable, all-powerful elite acting in its own interest. Such a world can only be tamed by something enormously powerful and masterful, and only during a crisis. Then a strong central government supported by angry, patriotic nationalists and led by a popular Napoleon on his white horse can arrest the anarchy. Trump’s autobiography is titled Think Big and Kick Ass....
Fatalists do not vote, except perhaps enough to win a primary or two, and the elite strike back hard. It is difficult to sustain the anger, although Buchanan came closer than many remember. Trump may turn out to be more fortunate since popular resentment has risen to a boil this time. Bernie Sanders taps into it too, and when fatalists do vote they might go for either party. But the Vermont socialist has no horse; Trump has billions and the celebrity, willingness, and audacity to ride them.

Pollster Frank Luntz came reeling out of one of his distinctive focus groups the other day crying “my legs are shaking” from seeing the depth of commitment of the Trump supporters he interviewed at the session. “I want to put the Republican leadership behind this mirror and let them see. They need to wake up. They don’t realize how the grassroots have abandoned them. Donald Trump is punishment to a Republican elite that wasn’t listening to their grassroots.” He even showed the audience unflattering images of and statements by Trump meant to turn them off. It did not work. At the end they were more committed than at the beginning.
