I've been following the GOP Primaries pretty closely as I find your system particularly interesting and to me, it's amazing how many political commentators keep discounting Trump and telling him what HE SHOULD BE DOING rather than adjusting their focus and paying attention to what is actually happening. As for Cruz, he's not particularly likeable, in fact, he's downright nuts, and that's scary as a US ally.
There's really no similarity between Trump/Cruz/Kasich and Brady/Corrupt bastard.
