Why would the upper income people reject Ted Cruz? Attacks from the media & dems?
If he’s the nominee I’m voting Libertarian...again.
Blow out your liberal fundament, front page.
The middle class is tired of the criminals in both parties.
Not to rain in the parade, but “Working Class Republicans” is a class warfare term. It implies that only poor people (those who are paycheck-to-paycheck) are “working”. In reality, the true working classes are those who own businesses that employ more than themselves.
He’s against crony capitalism
He’s a lard ass. He need a man in the job.
Working class Republicans, Conservative Republicans, Conscious Republicans, Republicans who made it through college without getting brainwashed....etc...
Christie is unpopular with anyone born with a brain or spine.
*gag* A sure fire loser. "Some" are imbeciles if they think this.
Christy reminds working class folks of an a-hole boss.
This guy put $250 million (corporate welfare? cronyism?) into a casino that the developer didn’t even think was worth completing and didn’t stay open but a year or two.
He can’t even pretend to be a fiscal conservative, so what is the selling point exactly??
What is Christie went on Oprah or more likely Sean Hannity, and confessed; ‘Yes, I screwed up Mitt’s chances at the 11th hour of the Election Cycle in order to curry favor with Obama. Why? Because I didn’t think the Media would allow Mitt to win anyway, plus Mitt did not make any promises to me in case matters like ‘BridgeGate’’began to unravel. Both Mitt and Ann say they have forgiven me. Why can’t the Gee-Dee Tea Party let this go? Is there really no compassion on the right?”
If the referenced poll concerns Republican "patriot" voters then the disturbing aspect of Sen. Cruz's popularity is the following imo. Many middle class patriots evidently still have not been brought up to speed on to the federal government's constitutionally limited powers and associated limited power to lay taxes.
After all, one of the very few powers that the states have delegated to the feds to regulate intrastate commerce on a near daily basis is the US Mail Service, evidenced by the Constituton's Clause 7 of Section 8 of Article I. But is the quality of the US Mail Service really a major concern of conservative patriots?
So do conservative, middle-class patriots still regard constitutionally indefensible federal taxing and spending programs as a way to make their lives a little bit easier?
Fat boi was never going anywhere. When he slipped Soetoro the tongue while begging for Sandy cash, he screwed the pooch.
I’m still puzzled by the results of this poll so I searched out another story on it, I’m just as puzzled. I also read the link at the frontpage magazine.
Of course it is very very early but note the last paragraph per McClatchy Marist Poll:
“There continues to be no clear front-runner in the race for the 2016 Republican nomination. Bush has 15% to 13% each for Paul and Ryan. Christie garners 12% while Texas Governor Rick Perry has 7%. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, 6%, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, 4%, and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, 4%, follow. Former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, 3%, and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, 3%, round out the list. 21% of Republicans and Republican leaning independents nationally are undecided.” - See more at: http://maristpoll.marist.edu/106-clinton-outpaces-democratic-opponents-bests-gop-in-general-election-bid/#sthash.p1ZsN0dc.dpuf
A lot of this is name-recognition. I’m surprised somewhat by the numbers.
Turning out the working class white vote is crucial for the Republicans in 2016. Some are touting Chris Christie as the solution, but the Marsist-McClatchy poll suggests otherwise.
MY estimation of the working class just went up by a massive amount.
