He's fundraised well, handled his media appearances effectively to the point where he's not an afterthought. Cruz is, as Alan Dershowitz says, "off the charts brilliant." The problem for Cruz is his creepy demeanor and his strident brand of conservatism. That's why he's likely not going to win the nomination.
      Yeah that's why I said implode or fade. I always assumed Trump and Carson would implode and then Cruz would fade as the field narrowed and the vote consolidated. However as you point out Trump has the longest history of outrageous statements of any candidate I can remember and he continues to add to the list each week. So maybe he is unimplodable. What a weird election cycle.

        He's the opposite of Hillary, who has had scandals for some many decades, she's now become the Teflon Donita.

                  Exactly. No vote, no person matters.

                              • So Ben Carson either totally made up or greatly exaggerated this childhood violent temper of his.

                                As far as doctor-politicians go I would definitely vote for Rand Paul but never for Carson -- he is way too odd and his sensationalized story about violence and religious conversion is so weird.
