Even I may have disagreed with some of his choices, but I believe that we have to trust his intentions and his decisions because we are not inside[…]

Indeed, Cruz who out of necessity had become the darling of the Republican establishment and Beltway conservatives, had become the “great hope” to defeat The Donald at a planned, manipulated, contested July Republican convention in the dying city[…]
