Why would anybody place the slightest credence in anything NBC might have to say?
Amen. If Mr. Cruz doesn't win the nomination, would love to see the left wing's heads collectively explode after he is on SCOTUS until the year 2055.
So do you fear that Donald could not beat Hillary? Really?
What exactly is the basis for your claim that DT takes us down in flames?
“Somehow I think Trump and Cruz have something up their sleeves....and it doesnt include anyone but the two of them!!!”
Sure hope you are right Sweet Heart!
“Meanwhile, Carson also continues to poll well among white evangelical voters and is now leading Trump among Republic lean voters who describe themselves as “very conservative.”
Am I in the Twilight zone? Carson is pro-amnesty!
“Carson’s campaign to solidify his base among male and females voters also appears to be bearing fruit and he now leads Trump among women by six points.”
Are there voters in the Republican Primary other than males and females?
Trump set the stage by attacking back in the first 2 debates, boycotting Fox, and calling the first question a poor one. Then the others FINALLY snapped and joined in!
Exac-atickly! He even started it in this debate, yet so many seem to be blind to it.
When he was doing his drone filibuster (2014? 2013?), I happened to be on the Internet and it closed down. Completely. Not just Twitter and Facebook. The overload was too much, as happens to a lesser extent at peak usage times now and then.
He has enormous hidden popularity. Unfortunately for him, as you said, lack of attention breeds more lack of attention.
I’m not a Rand Paul supporter, but he provides a media lesson: The media create their own reality. It’s only natural, for who can be satisfied with just reporting what’s happening? That’s like being the secretary at the board meeting. They lust to have an actual effect on the real world, and the only way they can do that is by lying and otherwise distorting the truth.
Cruz is not Reagan. Reagan was a two term governor and he worked hard to get to POTUS. He tried once and failed and then he won.
He was well known and had a terrific personality.
Reagan also had a long career, outside of politics/government. Another difference. Lots of outside experience, like working with management and managing the SAG. I think he brought a lot to the table when he became Governor.
Hellary trumps Cruz, nationally (per latest poll available), by 7.7
No polls showed Cruz leading Clinton, in the breakdown.
Hellary beats Trump by 2
One poll had Trump ahead and one tied.
Older polls, so not sure what it is today.
Bump to that.
I’ll be happy to vote for Trump if Cruz becomes irrelevant or drops out. But Cruz is my first choice and quite frankly should be the first choice of all who call themselves conservative. I’m not saying this to “bash Trump” I’m saying it because it’s the truth. And anyone who reacts negatively to this hard truth should ask themselves “Why am I not behind Cruz first then Trump? Are bombastic one liners and heavy handed criticisms of the MSM all there is to the conservative movement?”
And hold yourself to the truth for the love of all that is good. The truth of the matter is Cruz is at least as “conservative” as Trump and I submit those who desire the truth over all else will discover Cruz is more than that. I’m not going to argue it especially since I may have to pull a lever for Trump in the future. But an honest search for truth over being “right” will serve as all the proof needed.
RCP National Average 10/15 - 10/29
Trump 27.0
Carson 22.2
Rubio 9.6
Cruz 7.0
Trump +4.8
Wait, your screen name threw me - you’re not a Cruz supporter?
I don’t get your point. Joke? I’m not a Cruz supporter anymore. I was earlier in the cycle. When he got bought out on fast track, that was the end for me. Even before Trump came along. TPP has open borders and obamacare buried inside of it. Wikileaks says only 5 pages are about trade.
Cruz is a great conservative, but his chances of winning in general are about the same as nominee Sarah Palin. Every democrat & liberal will come out of the woodwork to vote AGAINST Cruz even if their nominee is Jack the Ripper.
I am surrounded by democrats here in WA state. They hate Cruz like you won’t believe. But many will vote for Trump.
Cruz has been called a firebrand, but I see your name pre-dates that.
Oh. I chose it partly because conservatives were never called firebrands, only leftists. Now that has changed somewhat. Good.
