Don’t worry about Cruz. So far, he’s batting a thousand against the liberal pundants.

“Ted isn’t polling too well....”

Gee I wonder why. So getting asked gotcha questions on Colbert is supposed to help?

So, raising $1 Million since the last debate .. “isn’t looking good” ..??

What idiot TV or radio are you listening to ..??

The polls are jury-rigged .. because the radical liberal media don’t want him to win .. but the PEOPLE have a different plan.

The candidates do need to do these shows. Sure, the hosts, staff and audience are all big libs, but, hey - they will get much needed exposure and their views can at least be heard. Richard Nixon was the first to use tv when he appeared on Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In - saying, “Sock it to ME?” It was hilarious. That changed the face of candidatures using media and making themselves real to the public.

Eventually the mainstream media WON’T be able to ignore Cruz. As more candidates drop out of the race, and Ted continues to stay in it due to being able to raise funds, the media will HAVE to give him coverage.

Can't "gotcha" Ted. He won't play their game.

Ya gotta play the game to get caught!

As Rush likes to say, if the media makes you, they can (and almost always will') break you!

The media didn't make Ted.

Ted's got go where he can get noticed, even in the Lion's Den!

He will give them provocative answers without the "I'm really GREAT, did I tell you that and very, VERY rich besides!"

Since the so-called debate moderators refuse to give Ted the time of day, maybe he will get enough questions and gives enough "shocking" answers, he'll get asked about his answers or others will be asked about his answers, Lord willing and then they contact him about their responses to his answers!

Ted'd not unwilling to go wherever he can get some air time. Lord knows the Fox "stars" won't give him air play, only Hannity, Cavuto and other non-news shows.

I believe that Cruz is the brightest bulb in the whole raft of candidates. Many are brilliant, but Ted outshines them all.

Actually Harvest, he said it was 1M after the first debate and doubled that after the second!

I sent some after the first and tripled it after the second!

You’re not changing my mind. I don’t approve of our candidates going on these nasty gotcha tv shows. Ted belongs on Firing Line, alas, but that will only happen in an alternate universe.

He will be walking into a trap. Every member of Colbert’s audience thinks Cruz is a far right wacko religious freak. Let’s see how he handles it.

You do know Trump has gone on SNL. But that doesn't count right?

IMO he's not polling well because he's being refused any exposure besides being constantly referred to as 'the grandstanding senator who shutdown the government'.

Any platform from which he can be heard will benefit him.

That’s just sad. You can’t even pull any actual quotes?

That has a week of rehearsal. Not exactly a gotcha.

The Colbert show is jam packed with leftists. Here’s hoping Ted can turn a few!

That’s one of the things that gets them. Ted may rip their hearts out with facts but he does it with a smile.
