I agree. We need a strong candidate, not like the ones we had the last couple of times.
Cruz inspires enthusiasm. Note the negative enthusiasm among the lefties here. No one was particularly inspired by Romney, or McCain. You can't beat someone with no one. And the Dems have no one.
Cruz is not capable of winning the swing states. He is a Tea Party favorite but is hated by the rest of his party
Cruz could not take 200 electoral votes
People said the same about Reagan. He was too far right, he wasn't mainstream.
