“Secret army”? It’s called a “ground game.”

Yeah, and that’s why Trump is a chump for burning through his own money instead of OPM. Smart politicians, even dumb ones like Yeb use PAC money.

But maybe he don’t need it. Maybe the polls are right. He is, after all spending less per vote than any other candidate.

Thus, Ted Cruz will continue the legacy of consistent Conservatives in recent history.

Only the first time you vote is it counted. With any successive vote attempts, a message appears stating that you have already voted and it is not counted. Yes I’m referring to the online poll at Drudge.

“Of course, all these billionaires supporting Cruz wouldn’t dream of wanting anything in return.”

Unlike billionaire Trump, who used to do Ivory Soap commercials before deciding to save the world with his superior intellect. And it isn’t like Trump would hobnob with the same cronies he’s spent a lifetime supporting - cough - Mitch McConnell - cough.

Has anyone noticed how easy it is to vote more than once for the Drudge online GOP candidate poll?

Evidently nobody supporting your guy has been able to figure out how to use that.        Not a good sign.

Did you know that Jeff Roe faced charges for matriculating with at least three unwilling co-eds when he was in college? The Office of Records knew, the Dean Knew and even the Professors knew, but still Jeff Roe was there. What about the uncertain future for those poor co-eds?

matriculating. 1. to enroll in a college or university as a candidate for a degree...

Maybe they can tough it out. Maybe they can transfer.

Either that word does not mean what you think it means, you are the unwitting victim of satire, or you are perpetrating satire...

Sorry I didn’t scroll down far enough. It seemed like no one had heard of ground game in a political campaign. I’m sure that was your thought too.

Trump has people knocking on doors, too. You’re insulting even those who support your candidate.

I was asking a rhetorical question.

Trump claims that he is running away with the polls - yeah polls where you can do robo-voting.

Please pay attention.

Oh Smoking Joe—I choose that particular word on purpose. Imagine those poor co-eds having to see that Sleazy Jeff Roe on campus after the “incident.” It was reported that on one occasion it happened in broad daylight.

You know that Ted Cruz supports thespianism don’t you. In fact he’s fine with thespians marrying each other. So lift the veil from your eyes to see the true Ted Cruz.

New SC poll shows Trump heavy favorite

...Battling for a distance second place from Trump’s 36 percent, are U.S. Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, with 19 and 15 percent, respectively. Behind them follows former Fla. Gov. Jeb Bush with 11 percent, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, 9 percent, and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, 5 percent. Undecided voters made up 5 percent.

The Republican primary, dubbed “First in the South,” is Feb. 20.

The real estate mogul led Cruz by nearly 10 points among Evangelicals in the poll in which nearly 60 percent of those polled identified as “Evangelical.”

“Trump carries every age group except for the youngest (18-29) where Rubio nudges Trump out by 7 points,” said Matt Towery Sr., political analyst FOX5 Atlanta, columnist and frequent pollster for Morris Newspapers.

“But Trump has comfortable leads among the other age groups in the poll. Trump has the highest support from almost every segment of respondents grouped by political philosophy.”

The frontrunner leads among those who describe themselves as “conservative,” “somewhat conservative,” “moderate” and “somewhat liberal.”

Much like Trump’s good buddy, Mitch McConnell. How’s that working out for you?

Amazing to me how much emotion is poured into these meaningless and inconsequential self-selecting online polls.

No! Thank the Lord! Ted Cruz’s father gave him a firm grounding in the Dominion Gospel. Ted knew from an early age that he had been anointed to be a King who would lead the fallen American nation back to righteous living following Christian teachings.
