It is remarkable, but it doesn't answer the question of who is most electable. That lie had to be made of whole cloth by the lying media.
Cruz is not the most electable in my book. Trump is.
I gave to the Cruz campaign the first night it ran, but I don't expect to be voting for him in the primary.

Judging by Cruz's "tone" in the article I'd say he's getting a little nervous, if not desperate about his lackluster campaigning. Posting a new Ted Cruz thread every 30 minutes (with almost no replies) doesn't seem to help any.
He's not really shining above anyone else as much as they are simply failing.
He's a dud.

It's Trump's "TONE", as well as his positions/stances that make him the #1 leader of the packAnd his consistency! He's been a stalwart conservative. A major help over the years, getting things done for small government and defending the Bill of Rights.

And so it becomes a self full-filling prophecy.

I am not now, nor ever have been, a republican. If the GOP-E screws up, it's on them. I can vote for either if they meet my simple requirements.
Romney couldn't.

I thought in 2012 he was a genuine conservative.

“Ted Cruz is one of the most hated men in Washington...”
You say that like it’s a BAD thing.

Steady as she goes and picking up steam.
To: nopardons
Gee, Trump was selectively edited, the reporter conflating two statements, but of course, they would never do that to Cruz, would they?

The AP would certainly portray him as such.

They’ll distort a lot of stuff as well. Especially pro-Castro NYT.

Cruz thinks Trump is an electable liberal.

"I am not going to approach this election like a theater critic â giving my reviews of every word uttered by every other Republican," Cruz said. "I'm going to focus on my message." Tone does matter. Absolutely. So does not playing the media game of in-fighting amongst Republicans for the press's amusement. Thankfully Cruz seems to know *and* practice this.

(Tone matters.)
To: nopardons
That's a nasty backhanded slam on Trump and not a "wise" thing to say. Tone does matter. We don't let Obama get away with it. And should Trump get the nomination, the Democrats will bludgeon him to death with it.
