Ted Cruz is the closest living thing to Ronald Reagan we're ever gonna have in our lifetimes. I don't know what more I can say about Ted Cruz. I also like Marco Rubio, in comparison to other options and choices. People get mad at me for that... There isn't perfection in a candidate.

I'd like to know how Trump supporters feel about his words. Do you agree with him or do you think Trump is closer to being like Reagan?

Trump is no Reagan.

Reagan was polite to his enemies for the most part.

Josie are you trolling the rest of us? I don't recall RR ever being universally despised by everyone in his own party.

Cruz is nowhere near despised by everyone in his party. Sure, most old GOP politicians don't like him but that's far from saying that he's despised by GOP voters. Shoot, the fact that established politicians dislike him is actually a huge positive in my book.

I've heard this several times -- as well as "Even all the conservatives hate him." When I ask who and what they have said, no one can tell me. Can you?

I think that, on policy, he has a solid argument. Cruz is indeed the most conservative one in the race.

On style, however, I would give it to Rubio, who is also pretty conservative (4th most conservative Senator). Rubio is more the uplifting, charismatic, Great-Communicator type.

Trump is simply a demagogue.

But when are demagogues most successful? When there is widespread discontent with the current political establishment.

Neither the Democratic nor the Republican party has much credit with the general population these days. Both Reagan, the right wing champion, and Obama, the liberal star, have demonstrated that the "best" of each party really had nothing to offer when it came to positive change.

That's the appeal of Sanders on the Left, and Trump on the Right. Men who are truly neither Democrat or Republican; but both just trying to ride those parties to the top. People are hoping that a little extremism (not too much or Cruz would be the new darling) will shake things loose and something, anything, better might happen.

Rubio, much like Reagan, might be slightly reluctant to embrace active reformism, but he may be swayed by his staff and cabinet into making it a key component to his administration once they tell him it's the way to make the best use of his office. It would then take a Bush to really push the needle forward to such an extent that even Democrats will have to accept how right it was some years later. Cruz, on the other hand, has no concept for reform other than to stand opposed and get angry.

With Trump, you're only going to get him to "get a deal" if someone allows him to play paper Emperor. Otherwise, you're going to get a man who will use executive orders and actions as a way to garner votes, and he will go the extra seventeen miles to do so. That's where his grandiose "bans" will come from and they will be aimed at the citizenry.

In summary: Screw Cruz and Trump.

Eh, if I were liberal, I'd probably hate Cruz too. Am I one of those "right wing whack jobs"? Personally, I'm happy he and even Trump (who I think would be a nightmare as prez) are challenging the old GOP guard. We're tired of being told how we need to vote for or contribute to GOP candidates to hold the line or push back against the liberal agenda, only to have them completely cave.
