Excellant, the Torah is the grandfather of the Christians New Testament.

Have there been no polls since the 19th?

Maybe pollsters take a break at Thanksgiving....

Cruz isn’t tied with Trump.

Yet.

I prefer Cruz.

I can support Trump.

I haven’t seen any new polls in a week...just some old polls. Not sure why no new ones...STRANGE.

Thanks! I think the reason there has not been any polls released lately is the media wants to perpetuate the narrative that Trump is sinking. Reuters/Ipsos showed a 12 point loss on a poll ending on the 25th. That’s a rolling poll...I wonder why they have not released anything in 5 days. I suspect Trump is still way up.

Yes, of course. No one can say Trump has made a mockery of marriage by having three wives.

Perhaps ... but unless one believes that the NYT (liberal as it is) makes up totally fictionalized accounts of interviews, a couple of those wives may make a mockery out of Trump.

"The little boy that still wants attention," says one.

"He wants to be noticed," says another recalling a time she skied past him at Aspen, and Trump took his skis and went home because he couldn't stand being outdone. Hell hath no fury. Blatant lie told by an angry ex? Maybe ... it sounds like Trump, though.

He hates losers -- this is a guy who instead of defending himself from McCain by talking about McCain's dangerous leftist politics, called McCain a loser and with breathtaking arrogance, announced that he was only a "war hero" because he got captured. "I like people who weren't captured," he explained.

Insulting every POW who ever lived, and every POW who ever died. Mockery of marriage, hell -- Trump makes a mockery of military heroics. While McCain was fighting in Viet Nam, Trump was getting five deferments to avoid the draft during Viet Nam. And today he generates laughter and applause when he scoffs at the sacrifices of any and all POWs -- among so-called conservatives, yet -- just to "defend himself" against the attacks of a lefty wrong-headed fellow Republican whose bad politics, not his POW years, are his worst qualities.

Trump makes a mockery of humility! At 3:30 into the video linked, the interviewer asks, "Have you ever asked God for forgiveness?"

Trump's response: "That's a tough question."

Cue audience laughter -- oh that Trump is such a character! And listen to his long-winded way of answering, "Not me!"

People admire that in Trump??????

I'm reading the handwriting on the wall and it makes a lot of graffiti look better.

With strong performances on the debate stage and big name endorsements, Cruz can now be considered one of the front runners in Iowa.....

Right on schedule!!! Go Cruz Go!!!!

That is the thing - it never ever stops. His supporters think he is the second coming and could care less about anything.
When there is a great candidate in Cruz, who trump says “has all my positions: - like he created them instead of copying Cruz I don’t get it.
Glad to read your comments.

Exactly what this nation needs! Ted Cruz!....the upcoming President of the United States of America!

It's concerning though that we live in an age where leadership is more about ignorance, inexperience, and emotional hype than for actually having prepared for the job!......Cruz is ready!.....Cruz is prepared!.....Cruz "IS THE MAN!"

Trump apparently wants his supporters to believe that he thinks like Cruz, only (of course) better. That's pretty significant.

Trump is inviting the comparison. He wants people to think he's Cruz-but-better.

Puts Ted in an odd spot.

Saddest thing is that the same people will be the first to attack Baraq’s ego.

Trump has duped all the LIV reality television watchers he can. As the loser riffraff leaves the arena, support will increase more for Cruz than Trump... still I see that Rubio and the GOPe machine behind him will harm Cruz. I want to see Carson drop out sooner than later, and a 3 way debate.

It will then be over for Trump and his supporters will fall back to Cruz and we can all tell the GOPe to go Eff themselves once and for all as we line up behind the ONLY Conservative Constitutional Originalist running, Ted Cruz.

I'll take Trump or Cruz, but it's not an either or proposition. We can have both with a Trump/Cruz ticket. That is the best way to broaden the Republican base and get all conservatives and evangelicals to show up on Election Day. That's what you get with Cruz on the ticket. Trump will pull in the Reagan Democrats, minorities, millenials, and women.

You got that right.

I hope the rest of your post is right, as well.
