re: I think Ted Cruz is our front runner for 2024

I voted for Cruz in the primary last time around but I felt like he came of as this smarmy Baptist preacher type. Even for someone who voted for him, I still saw where he wouldn't have a broad mass appeal.

I think he's shed some of that over the last 4 years and is more of a no non sense straight to the facts kind of guy. Hard to describe it but his demeanor and public persona has certainly changed since his presidential campaign.
