Ted Cruz Is A Winner, and Trump Is No Reagan

I listened to this stories of how Cruz had a plan to win Iowa, and those were proven correct. Kudos, I put too much faith in Laudner.

So now I would like the same kind of explanation as to how Cruz wins NH and SC.

They are very different states, and not caucuses but primaries.

In NH all the polls have trump way up, how does Ted close?

And in SC Ted is trailing as well. Rubio just snagged an endorsement that apparently matters to SC. So how does Ted catch and close in SC?

I’m not being a jerk, I just want to know what folks are seeing that I’m not. I was off several points in IA, so I’m curious how y’all see they lay of the land in NH and SC.

Hardly.

Iowa 1980, January 21

Reagan - 30%
Bush 32%

Seems like what just happened this year.

You may know Arnold well from being a Californian, but how well do you know Reagan. Did you ever see him in person? Go to a Rally? I did—even before he was the nominee, 3 or 4 years prior to his first election, and he was a lot like Trump.

I haven’t paid as much attention to New Hampshire. We’ll have to wait and see if a ground game means as much there.

I don’t think anyone knows right now about either N.H. or S.C. A week makes a lot of difference, and we have a bit longer for S.C.

Ted has won many things in his life, but he has only come out on top in one state so far (out of one)... and in the next three, he is polling behind by 16-22 points in each. An amazing ground game, plus the "coattails" from the Iowa win might... might... get him close, but then Super Tuesday will likely decide it, and nobody has a ground game to cover 12 states in 6 days, even with private helicopters. This is far from over.

"he was a lot like Trump"

How, exactly? Trump does not remind me of Ronaldus much, he is much more in your face. Not being confrontational, just honestly curious why you say that.

[Freedom56v2]

You answer my question with a question....

Did you ever see him? Did you ever listen to a speech? Or Vote for him?

Why does he remind you of Arnold?

[West Texas Chuck]

You are making this harder than it needs to be.

I saw him on TV. And in a few films.

I’ve listened to countless of his speeches, thank you Mark Levin.

I voted for him twice.

Arnold? You lost me completely there, I see no similarity between Ronaldus and the Austrian Oak, except of course both were Governator of Cooliforia.

[Freedom56v2]

Ah, you were not the original poster to whom I was replying who had refered to Trump being like Arnold... I was talking to someone else...no matter.

Try this for starters—as I said, I have actually seen Reagan in person, once when he was a long way from the oval office. Don’t even get me started on Mark Levin. Oh, and I voted for Reagan twice too.

I thought something seemed odd there, so OK, we’re cool. Substitute the name Cruz for Trump in that link and it works for me just the same. I don’t hate Trump, I’m just a Cruz guy, he is my homeboy. I’ll crawl a mile through broken liberals to vote for either of them, no prob.

So, yer a Levin hater then? It’s cool, but the man has taught me much about politics and the Constitution. He should be a Supreme Court Justice, IMHO.
