Has that ‘Natural born’ thing been resolved yet?

I know Trump was rooting for Ted on it.

In spite of their competition for delegates.

Thank you for posting. “If Cruz is able to do really well in the SEC primary...” I think he will.

Trump was in the South before Cruz realized he would lose in New Hampshire and South Carolina. The event Trump had in Alabama had around 20,000 people, maybe closer to 30 thousand. It was considered HUGE at the time, but is now seen as, “meh,” normal Trump-sized crowds.

You don’t want to be doing an unorthodox campaign strategy when you aren’t Donald Trump. The moment campaigns start talking about how they’re going to “rewrite Republican politics,” it means they’re losing and are betting on a long shot.

Cruz will first have to get past Iowa with a win.
A new poll shows Crus stalled and Trump gaining.
Both at 27%.
It is a must win for Cruz.
Not so much for Trump.

Cruz’s Iowa lead is evaporating before our eyes.

I have no ill will against Trump. That said, I have always been for Cruz, but I have promised my better half that I’d pull the lever for Trump. If Trump does somehow crash before the Georgia Primaries, I’ll go for Cruz then with no household turmoil.

Regardless, I don’t wish either of them any harm or bad fortune. As far as I’m concerned these two are the only semblance of salvation against the egregious Republican establishment that has stabbed us in the back for over a decade.

For some reason, I can't help looking to see how Cruz has his sleeves in every new picture. Maybe because it just strikes me as unusual now that I've noticed it.

If he's wearing a long-sleeve shirt, he pretty much always has the sleeves rolled up. From this picture, it looks like he probably needs to do that with his jackets too.

Maybe it's like Rubio with his high-heel boots or Bush standing on his tippy-toes. Maybe Cruz thinks if he has larger clothes, it makes him bigger too.

Anyway, back to the discussion.

No. There's no hope that it ever will. Cruz will soon announce that he's dropping out of the race. < /eyeroll>

I'm looking forward to Tuesday's debate. Donald has focused lofo attention on Cruz. Everyone will be tuning in to see Trump AND Cruz.

Cruz will look presidential. Trump will look like... Trump.

Has Trump's facial tic problem been resolved yet?

I noticed that too. Cruz could never work for Goldman, he does not dress well enough. His wife works there though, lol.

Yes. Per last week's Fox poll and today's NBC poll, Trump has skyrocketed to a 24% Trump to 28% Cruz lead of -4%.

Trump's birther strategy failed.
