Former McCain aide: Sarah Palin's Trump endorsement a "big lose" for Ted Cruz
CBS News ^ | January 20, 2016

Posted on 01/20/2016 9:58:21 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Rick Davis, the campaign manager for 2008 GOP nominee John McCain, said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is the loser in former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's decision to endorse businessman Donald Trump for the 2016 GOP nomination.

"You win every day or you lose every day in a campaign at this stage down to the wire. And it was a big win day for Trump and a big lose day for Cruz," Davis said on "CBS This Morning."

There's a "battle for the dwindling Carson vote," he said, which is why both Trump and Cruz are pushing so hard to build support from evangelicals and other groups that like former neurosurgeon Ben Carson. He still commands between 8 and 10 percent of the vote in many polls of likely Republican caucus goers....

winner is not really something you and your fellow cruzers would know much about. It astounds me what you and your fellow cruzers have been posting sense Palin endorsed Trump, decent folks would be ashamed. But not you, can't say I admire that.

It is a big lose for Ted Cruz.

I’m a supporter of both Trump and Cruz.

I lean toward Trump for the top spot because I feel he would be more likely to prevail in the general.

I want a Trump/Cruz ticket. Trump has the cash and the balls to take it to the dems and WIN!

Cruz has the brains and the knowledge to guide Trump once they are in office. [IMO, while both these men are brilliant Cruz is by a sizable margin the smarter of the two]

Go Trump!
Go Cruz!
Go Jeb! [and never, ever come back!]

All the people who trashed Sarah bigtime and then blamed her for McCain’s defeat and let McCain’s daughter off her leash to attack her - are they suddenly going to kiss her feet?

You know what is really sad about that, I'm betting that your failure to gain my approval is one the lessor failures of your typical day. It must suck, but is a worthless life of your own making. I can't tell you what a disappointment it was to find that a FR poster with a name like yours turned out to be such a POS. But I guess I put too much in a name.

Thanks for confirming my choice in Cruz.

I’m not committed yet but I find it amusing that you attack someone for attacking someone from the McLame camp. I bet that any other time you would have attacked the Mclame spokesman yourself. This crap is getting ridiculous with the, if you will excuse me, knee jerk attacks from both sides.

That was a totally uncalled for personal insult and I have reported it. You owe 2ndDivisionVet an apology.

You owe JPX2011 an apology as well. Personal insults are not how freepers should treat each other.

No problem. But I must admit, I though everybody including you already knew you were a moron. Hope I did not ruin it for you.

Well, if your attitude and emoting is any indication of the what it takes to be a Trump supporter, I'll gladly wear the mantle of moron.

I post about issues and political figures. I try not to directly attack freepers. When I disagree with freepers I try to use arguments not insults.

I don't owe anybody anything and I certainly don't owe you crap. You little girls post crap and insults non stop and then cry whenever someone insults you. Free speech comes with the condition that you may not like what you hear. Ether live with that or go to your safe space. Ether way get out of my face before I get mean.

No, you post lies and insulting BS. Just because it is not insulting to you and your simple friends, it is insulting to anyone with even a below normal intelligence. You are the typical little progressive bitch, you can dish it out but you scream bloody murder when you feel even the slightest Micro agression.
