No disagreement with either of you. Sometimes it’s wise to run with th eheard, sometimes not, sometimes it’s wise to lie low (discretion before valor) sometimes it’s the surest way to lose. This election cycle is so bizarre there is no handwriting on the wall this time. The polls may be right, the polls may be wrong. We’ll find out on Nov 9th.

Frankly, I’ve about had it and I really can’t wait for this election to be over. It’s been one of the least exciting in my lifetime. What truly saddens me is that the U.S. has been the last redoubt of Western Civilization in a mostly unpleasant and mediocre world. It seems that this, too is ending for the worse.

“Hillary Clinton attacked Donald Trump on Monday for losing nearly a billion dollars of HIS MONEY in a single year. โ€œWhat kind of genius loses $1 billion in a single year?โ€ Hillary Clinton lost $ 6 billion of tax payer dollars while she was head of the State Department. Which loss hurt you more? Hypocrite Hillary Clinton also used the same tax avoidance law as Trump to save money on her taxes.”

But unlike mitt, Donald’s deals are on the more than shady side so it’s tougher to be up front.

In my opinion, Cruz is doing the smartest thing by laying relatively low. He can’t in all conscience go on the stump for Trump, nor can he go on the stump against him. He’s certainly still been active in the Senate. And it’s not as though his activities are going to be front-page news on every paper at this point. They’ll only cover him if they think they can say something to hurt him.

Yes, but so does refusing to run with the herd.

Cruz just recently got a bit of the foreground treatment when he endorsed Trump. Touching the tar baby has its downsides. IMO

I would agree. Yet, as you point out, “he was poised . . . .” The fact that he seems to have all but disappeared in this election, however, says something. Overshadowed by Trump? No doubt, but somehow Gingrich seems to have continued an active presence.

Remember, I was a Cruz supporter, but that fact that he has allowed himself to fade into the background in all of this mess prompts one to question just how effective he would have been. Not dissing the guy, just asking the question.
