Trump is doing damage in lots of places.
Conservatives are hammering not only Fox, but Townhall - for their institutional manipulation of the GOP base. They aren’t getting away with it anymore.
National Review is backtracking after several scathing stories that not only bashed Trump but his followers.
American Spectator... backtracking as well.
And last AND LEAST - Huffington Post, with that surreal repost about Women being raped BY MEXICANS... crossing the border. THAT had to hurt the mods over there.. who are vicious in their control of who says what about whom.
Things are turning upside down
BUT why oh why is Cruz invisible... I love him. Listened to him on Mark Levine the other night... his crusade in the Senate is going unnoticed... If I”m wrong please point me to the coverage!
He should be right at the top of the pack.
It’s going to be exceedingly difficult for Walker to hold off Trump for the next half year in Iowa until the caucus.
Nick, Trump is opening up a front against the liberal (and faux conservative) media.
This is priceless.
They know we care, they think we can’t do anything about it-”who else you gonna vote for?” That’s why when we did have conservative options like Chris McDaniel in MS, they took them out in the primaries using gutter tactics that they have never, will never, use on their “colleagues across the aisle”.
Because Cruz is and always has been a serious conservative candidate, the media is doing its usual in not giving him play. They thought that Trump would flame out early and take down conservatives with him, so they played him up, spinning him as some loose cannon clown who would wreak havoc amongst conservative voters. That hasn’t happened, even after their trumped-up (excuse the pun) tempest in a teacup over Trump’s remarks about McCain. The media thought they could create a monster of destruction using Trump, but they never had control of him, or voters. They are just too arrogant to realise it.
Cris McDaniel actually won the Mississippi Senate primary but he had to go to runoff. McDaniel was supported by Ted Cruz and the wonderful Tea Party Patriots. Karl Rove and Haley Barbour ( who hates conservatives) combined with Texas Senator John Cornyn ( who hates conservatives) to get Cornyn to release funds for Cochran from the Senate /republican party funds to be unleashed on McDaniel !! WHO WON THE PRIMARY.
Haley Barbour using his gutter tactics rounded up thousand of blacks (who had voted in the Democrat primary) and started using robo calls about “KKK” McDaniel And,in my opinion was behind money actually paid to these blacks to vote in the republican runoff!!. I have heard $15 “gas money” was paid from those mentioned above as they got on the buses to take them to the republican run off polls. All this was to stop Mississippi from electing another “trouble make” like Cruz. Damned those SOBS!! They are responsible for TRUMP and they are going to get him right in their fat faces.
Yes, you are correct (please forgve my haste to make my point and not being exact on what happened). And your point is correct. For better or for worse (for conservative voters), Trump is going to make a difference. It’s too early to know how much this may work for or against us.
In the end it was McCain who was destroyed....
This McCain thing will be forgotten by Feb. 2016.
Trump is not losing ground, he is gaining ground.
___________________________________________________________
I’m pretty well convinced that a lot of Cruz support has gone to Trump. I like Trump and what he is doing, but, I think Ted Cruz would be the greatest President since Reagan and would do as great a job as Reagan did. If we lose out on what Ted Cruz has to offer this nation..... what a shame.
Both NH and Iowa are open primaries so the Dems and indies pick the Gop candidates.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
So, if the Dems “REALLY” believe that Trump is a dufus and would easily be defeated in the General Election, then they will vote for him in the NH Primary and the IA Caucuses; right? Uh huh, uh huh.... let’s see.
IT’S TIME TO BOYCOTT FOX NEWS!!! Check this out from just yesterday, if you have not seen it. FOX News Bimbo calls Ted Cruz a “clown”.

I disagree.
Trump has taken from Bush and Rubio.
There was a poll in NC several weeks ago.
Bush and Rubio’s numbers dropped substantially.
Agree. Too early to speculate how all this ends.
