        Cruz is a principled fighter who struggles with understanding how to govern and accomplish something within a team.

        Thank you. Just an observation. IMO Before Cruz can claim mantle of Reagan, needs to prove he can build coalitions

        Research how Reagan handled 76. This means reading his "concession" speech.

        The main thing is that the speech was wearisome, overly long, self-serving, artificial, exploiting an innocent child of tragedy

        If 'vote your conscience' is not a call to vote for your nominee then GOP has yuuge problems.

        If Cruz is both, it sends a message of a double mind. People will vote their choice without his permission.

        Seems Cruzs decision to be principaled should was made when he signed the pledge. Was he principaled then or sneeze now?

        Ted Cruz cares about Ted Cruz and not America. He's a phony.

        What casuistic tripe. Cruz lacks rectitude & character showing disrespect even to his supporters.

        I think that is why for the most part America likes governors as presidents.. This year being an exception.

        both. The phrase "does not work well with others" comes to mind with Cruz.
