Question- Why is it that Ted Cruz is consistenly 2-4 in the race, but seems to have a superb ground game. Is there a disconnect? Just curious, because I prefer Cruz at this juncture.

Cruz has high favorability with low unfavorability. Basically it translates to a large reserve of voters who will consider him and haven’t written him off.

I gladly Support Ted Cruz
“with high favorability with low unfavorability.”
I wont vote for the democrat no matter who it is
I would much much prefer to be able to vote for Cruz than any of the others thus far jockeying for position

They sort of explain some of that later into the article.

The ground game comes into play when the actual voting starts and doesn’t really have anything to do with polls.
Rick Santorum won Iowa last time when he was holding steady with an average 4th place in the polls.

Because when push comes to shove, Cruz has proven himself to be vulnerable to, even controllable by, the gope. Evidenced by his vote for TPA and the corker bill.

A steaming pile. He has proven to be a reliable conservative voice in a see of RINO’s. A 97%+ conservative voting record

Cruz just took out Speaker Boehner and you can tell how much Boehner hates Sen, Cruz by the comments Boehner has has been making on his way out. And on the Corker bill you have to criticize Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions as well. Cruz isn’t perfect but he is infinitely more conservative than Donald Trump whom I assume you support

Cruz took out boehner? I've seen nothing that indicates that. If anything, I believe Trumps success as a candidate is more responsible then any single event for boehner's departure.

Ok, then please enlighten me. What is the plausible reason he voted for TPA and the corker bill?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
What keeps Rubio anywhere near the top? Isn't he all about amnesty?

Cruz has been working for the last three years to build a coalition of conservative congressmen to oppose Boehner and force him to pursue a more conservative agenda. Cruz was strategizing with the group of conservative congressmen which were trying force Speaker Boehner to defund planned parenthood or lose his speakership. They met in Sen. Cruz’s office and the next day Speaker Boehner announced his resignation. Ever since announcing his resignation Boehner has been taking pot shots at Sen. Cruz, calling him a false profit and an asshole.

Almost daily, Cruz is announcing key team members added across the country. Although he is not polling very high in Iowa, pundits would do well to consider that Iowa is a caucus state, and the largely Christian and conservative caucus goers do go to their county meetings and will be in contact with Cruz’ ground team. Let’s just see how it goes down in the caucus.
