Re #11:
I think Trump’s support is limited. I think too many people, including Republicans, still view him as a loudmouth. If he wins Iowa, NH and SC he will be hard to beat. If he doesn’t I think it will come down to Cruz or Rubio.
I like Cruz. I favor Cruz. But that has nothing to do with it. Cruz is a dry speaker and sounds like Mr Haney from Green Acres. Rubio is polished and a damn fine speech maker. I just think he can pull more votes.
Now, having said that I will admit that my history of prognostication is HORRIBLE. Just ask President Kemp.
“Besides, Trump has a higher IQ than Cruz.”
Maybe yes maybe no. That really doesn’t matter. The fact remains that Trump knows how to fire up the base like no one else does.
That’s what it takes to win...
Cruz has made his money from Government. Trump is smarter that Cruz. Any questions?
No way !
WHY ?
I know lots and lots of people who wouldn't vote for Rubio if their lives depended on it.
IQ? I would rather have wisdom. A wise man can control his mouth. Trump has the most undisciplined mouth in American political history.
Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, he doesn't know what he's doing, which is why he's worth BILLIONS ! LOL
Rubio has some plusses as a candidate. See what Artemis Webb wrote about Rubio in post 21. I’m all for Cruz, but I could see Rubio winning the nomination.
Reuters rolling 5 day has Cruz drafting the “I wouldn’t vote” people. Trump at 32, Carson at 16, Bush and Rubio ahead of him too.
Cruz is the only one I would vote for if it isn’t Trump. The rest are Democrats in drag.
Obviouly, Trump has more wisdom that Cruz. Plenty of time for yosu to learn that.
Old Sweaty, slimy, AMNESTY MARCO will NOT be the nominee; that's for certain ! And I'm a rather good prognosticator.
Cruz is an inside the beltway politician—Trump is not. Trump has achieved much in his life—Cruz has not. Trump cannot be purchased or bought by donors or special interest money. Cruz is very vulnerable financially and can be bought by the special interests. We need a son of a bitch in the White House to clean out the Augean Stables and reform the federal government and put the fear of God into our many enemies. Cruz is not a son of a bitch. Save the nice guys for who you women take to bed with you but keep romance out of the goddamn ballot box.
A good standard!
Obama would not be invited to my table.
Hillary would not be invited to my table.
McCain would not be invited to my table.
Jeb! would not be invited to my table.
.....et al
The list is LONG.
I would welcome Cruz or Trump to dine with me.
Yup, we really could use a good SOB this time.
Churchill was an epic SOB...lol
I think he’d got a really good shot at winning Iowa. That should be a nice boost.
Trump, the whiner girlie boy, has no appeal to me.
Trump and Cruz are both brilliant.
Both have Mensan level IQ and both are smart enough not to actually belong to an outfit like Mensa..lol
Both have photographic memories... of different types.
Cruz has the audible type..he remember anything he hears or anything he reads (remembers the minds narrative voice saying the words as he reads) It’s why he can recite things like the constitution so easily...wish I had this ability. It’s no wonder he is a great lawyer.
Trumps memory is the more general type.
Please clue us in how you arrived at that little gem of conclusion! Or is it all based on gut feeling?
