I also have noticed Ted Cruz for the MOST part has been taking on Democrats from the first of his campaign, and has been generally respectful of his opponents on the Republican side of the aisle...the GOP "leadership" notwithstanding.
I think that Trump (rightly or wrongly) believes that he’s taken out the GOPe candidates and now needs to work on softening up the democRAT opposition.
I do believe that he’s taken out Bush, Rubio, and Kaisich. The others were never going to be a factor anyway. Cruz has been respectful and has not gone after Trump who has reciprocated in kind.
Right now, it is still early, but it appears that the election is Trump’s to lose.
I think Republican voters are in favor of the candidates NOW begin going after the Democrat candidates and the Administration.
AND the media when it BLATENTLY show its bias.
It would be good to see all the GOP candidates “pile on” when media bias occurs, and in particular when the MSM “omits” criticizing the lies of the Democrat candidates, the President or his press secretary... or any of the other lies that come out from the Administration...
They should also keep demanding truth and justice regarding Benghazi... from HRC and from the press.
Overdue.
That’s because Trump and Cruz both are smart enough to know that the best way to win the nomination is to attack the Democrats and other liberals better than the other Republicans can do it.....and in fact, that’s the only way Republicans win the White House...is to come out of a primary season where the main enemy was the Democrats, not each other.
Lot of other candidates, and lot of Freepers, not as smart as DT or TC on this one.
He should start acting like the nominee, and going full bore against Clinton and 0bama, labeling her as 0bama’s 3rd term, and hammering her on all of her crooked connections, emails, Clinton Foundation, the total disaster she was as Sec of State, etc. Even if he does not turn out to be the nominee he would have done a lot of the heavy lifting in softening her up for defeat.
Most of the other candidates seem more interested in taking out Trump than they are in taking out Clinton.
Yeah, he has been since before the last debate.
Cruz, closing in on the solid #2 spot, is also turning to DEFINING HIMSELF VIS-A-VIS THE DEMS.
It’s all about the moderate voters.
The conservatives have made their choice- and it’s Trump or Cruz.
As Trump would say, it is such a target rich environment.
And he was serious when he said it.
HRC is convinced that victory is hers! I’m afraid the American people feel the same way.
Notice how hard Trump is beginning to campaign? Even harder than just a few weeks ago, as if that is possible.
I think he sees that now is the time to put everyone else away, and he is begining to run what might be the final sprint.
This, well before the beginning of the primaries.
Yup, watching his speech...going after them, talking general election issues more then before.
