Avi K: While you (and perhaps myself) would like a Cruz presidency, the reality is that with Cruz we are likely to get Clinton presidency. Cruz has managed to alienate much of the establishment by things such as forcing a shutdown which ends up costing the taxpayers lots of money and accomplished nothing. Cruz isn’t as bed as Trump, but he hasn’t had much success at working with those he disagrees with. — Neither Cruz nor Rubio will impact on the non-Cuban Hispanic vote (by analogy, will Clinton do well among Jews by appealing to the Euro-American vote???). — Carson is current in fourth place, and is the only one of the top candidates who hasn’t alienated anyone. He’s an outsider, a conservative, a religious fanatic (but not from a church with a reputation for disrespecting other religious minorities). Like it or not, the only alternative to Clinton is Carson.
