Exactly. They’ll use Cruz for the same reasons they did Carson. They probably won’t have to fudge his numbers as much though.

“For the life of me I cannot find the infatuation with Carson.”

It’s the idea of Carson. not the man himself. What I find suspect is the transfer of support from Carson to Cruz. Cruz was there all along, and hasn’t really changed positions on much, so why flock to Carson first?

It’s odd how Ted Cruz is suddenly closing in on Trump just days after Trump announced that he’d have to go after Cruz if he closed in.

Mr. Bush was the choice of just 4 percent of Republicans...

The margin of error was plus or minus four percentage points.

So Jebby might actually be at zero?

[cripplecreek]

Nothing sudden about it really. Cruz has been creeping up and Carson started to fall with Carson supporters going to Cruz.

[Heart of Georgia]

No, not sudden as far as my thinking..I believe Cruz has done better than reported. I should say I’m suspicious of the media suddenly pushing it ... although not surprised.

Trump has snookered everyone he can, and topped out. Now that the riffraff which has no business being in the debates are fading into oblivion and soon dropping out, those poling for them are not going to be going for Trump.

Some (Yeb's block) will most likely be going to Gang-of-Eight establishment GOP Amnesty Flipflopper fast-talker Marco Rubio... but most will be going to Cruz.

This was the plan the whole while and it's coming together NICELY.
