Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign manager Jeff Roe thinks Donald Trump would have won the Democratic primary for president, if he had chosen to go that route.
Roe told a crowd at the Dole Institute of Politics earlier this month that Trump’s beliefs on abortion and gay marriage, such as they are known, do not differ greatly from the Democrats.
“I think he’d win the Democrat primary, if he would have ran as a Democrat,” Roe said. “I don’t think it’s a pox on the Republican House like a lot of people do. If he would have, I mean, Bernie Sanders took Hillary [Clinton] to the mat.”
“If Donald Trump ran as a Democrat, he would have won their nomination,” he added. “Thankfully he didn’t run as a third party because then we might have third parties for now, forever afterwards.”
