The bad blood between Cruz and Trump is now personal. Trump will take it to Cruz like he took it to Bush. Scorched Earth warfare. If he loses, so be it at least Cruz won't win.
I don't see a situation now where Cruz can consolidate Trump support if he falters. If Trump starts bleeding, his supporters will go to Rubio or step away from the political process and not support Cruz. I don't think people understand how Ted's televangelist routine grates on less religious voters that make up the bulk of Trump's coalition. People around my office were talking about his victory speech Tuesday morning and largely were horrified.
BTW donnie is the one who everyday insults personally all who do not kiss his butt? How could you miss that?
You hit the nail on the head, springwater13. Cruz was my second choice.

A sad day for FR.
How any Conservative can support and justify (let alone show a degree of glee over) scorched earth tactics in choosing a Conservative GOP nominee is beyond me.
Might as well just hand the Presidency to Hillary. Even the Dems knew better than to have this sort of internal blood feud back in ‘08.
If Iowans can't get it that Trump showed respect and affection for them while Cruz was pandering to them and manipulating their vote, really, who lost?
Obama declared he was a Christian before his election in '08 and discussed his Muslim/err Christian faith to Stephanoplist in '08 which I guess was OK because everyone knew he was lying, at least my secular Jewish friend wasnt offended when Obama used the dreaded "Christian" word!
When Cruz uses the same words as Rubio, Cruz is considered offensive while Rubio isn't. Go figure!
Trump spent $200,000 dollars and won 7 delegates. Brilliant!
And problem solved.
It got extremely “personal” between Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush (”Voodoo Economics”); yet who did Reagan select as his running mate? No one should overreact to primary season theatrics.
Anybody think that John McCain and Sarah Palin had much in common?
Political parties always coalesce to give themselves the best opportunity to win the general election.
This year will be no different
Seems there are hundreds of newly established accounts and years-dormant accounts doing a lot of posting these last few days. Stirring up the pot. They should all be banned and deleted.
Yep Trump and Cruz are going to eat each other and hand the nomination to “the third way” Rubio.
; )
I think he was describing Trump’s thought process not his own.
LOL
Iâve had quite enough of you.
I had to laugh at your post....I have made some vile attacks on people that i get sick of on FR...wonder i wasn’t banned...but just roll with it man....my best friend and i totally disagree about Cruz and Trump....we chat a little about it and go on to other things we have in common.....Learn from my stupidity....or not
Cruz spent $3.2 million in the last three months alone to win 8 delegates.
Trump spent $200,000 dollars and won 7 delegates. Brilliant!

Those less religious voters do not understand that our freedoms rely on a moral people - that this Country was formed under God’s Grace and Blessing.
The exodus from Christianity has come close to destroying this Country already.
I’d probably move to Cruz if Trump falters. No sense speculating though. I think NH is a must win for Trump and we have less than a week before we see what happens.
I’m not going to let Cruz’s supporters insulting me and lumping me into one category or another affect how I personally make my choice on the man himself.
That said, Cruz did play dirty against Carson in IA. Which to me, showed him as a typical politician. A politician I can probably ally myself with, but a typical politician nonetheless.
I’ve been looking for those numbers and would love to keep track of them from state to state. Do you have a reference? Thank you.
