“Registered Republicans, which are the only ones able to vote in the TX primary, are overwhelmingly supporting Cruz right now from everything that I’ve seen (local polls, signs, comments, etc).”
You’re in for a rude awakening, lol. You don’t have much of a feel for your own state, do you....
“You’re in for a rude awakening, lol. You don’t have much of a feel for your own state”
This coming from someone from Chicago???
I think I have a pretty good idea of what is going on in Texas, but thanks! Of course, it helps if you’re actually a Texan too!
You know the same people that claimed Debra Medina would win in a landslide are the same online folks claiming that Trump will win. Medina didn’t even get 20% of the primary vote and I doubt Trump will either.
Cruz is extremely popular among conservatives in TX and has his entire ground game in place for years. Trump has nothing in comparison. Nice try though!

We’ll see, won’t we. We’ll see. One of us will be right. Too bad it won’t be you, lol.
Yes, we will both see that I’m right, but try not to be too disappointed when Trump barely hits 20% in Texas. Cruz will win in a landslip with over 50% of the primary vote.
That just shows you know very little about Texas politics.
It’s interesting to me that you say that about never meeting a Trump supporter in person.
When you come on Free Republic every day and when you see the polls, you start getting the impression that everyone is madly for Trump.
But during the holidays I was surprised that family members who are relatively conservative don’t like Trump.
It’s not just a mild dislike, it’s utter disgust and revulsion. They hate the man.
I was surprised. I know it’s anecdotal but it was a bit of an eye-opener to me.
People here should be made aware that you consider Levin a “loathsome prick.”
Have any other Trump supporters criticized you for it yet?
-— I said Trump was trying to help Cruz from the start. -—
I believe you. And it’s always a good laugh line.
“If Cruz is able to do really well in the SEC primary”
If I win the Powerball tonight. :-)
I’ve seen the same thing. All of my family, friends, church members, co-workers, etc. and nobody seems to like Trump and none of them have met anyone that likes Trump either.
It is weird because you would assume, by the polls, that everyone loved him, but it seems, on the ground, that liberals and libertarians (aka liberal lites) support Trump, but conservatives do not.
MANY conservatives do despise Trump because they know he is very liberal and flip-flopped during the last 2 years on EVERY policy stance that he has held for over 30 years. Trump is a salesman and is just saying what dull people want to hear so that he can get the job in 2016 because in the 2012 election, the people weren’t buying his traditional liberal stances. Texas conservatives are not fooled by Trump.
I personally think it is the liberal media trying to prop Trump up in an effort to try and destroy Cruz since Cruz is our only real conservative candidate.
I mean really...Trump complains about an ABC moderator so they immediately dump the moderator. Every other Republican candidate has made the same complaints for the last ten election cycles and the media ignores them. This just shows that Trump and the media are working together and since the mainstream media ONLY works with liberals, that just provides more evidence that Trump is a liberal in sheep’s clothing.
My brother just visited from Houston and said no one there likes Ted Cruz, so I guess it depends on who is in your circle of friends.
“My brother just visited from Houston...”
The cities generally vote democrat anyways, which is why they wouldn’t like Cruz, so I would not take much stock on what people in the cities say. The suburbs and rural areas are the conservative centers of Texas and always vote in the republican primary and that is what will matter.
That silly polka-dot graph you post constantly is ridiculous. For example, Trump’s 2A policy is better than any other candidate, with his national concealed carry idea.
Cruz’s Speechwriter and Communications Director, Amanda Carpenter, works at Conservative Review. So of course, there is no bias there. /s
And that you say to contact some outside group if we do not like the ratings is you just trying to deflect responsibility that YOU are posting this simplistic hogwash over and over.
As well as Trump’s position on abolishing ‘gun free zones’ nationally.
I saw Cruz today. 1,000 people in Louisiana at a hotel. All traditional conservative Christian audience. Was well received. He’s certainly got enthusiasm within his base.
I’d love to see Cruz win or be on the Supreme Court. My concerns are he can’t get 20% of the Democrat voters, much black vote, and the GOPe wouldn’t give him money to run the general election.
But he’s an asset to the party - as are ALL of our candidates. We really have a great field. The DemonRats have an old hag, rape enabler that’ll likely be indicted and an old Soviet-era Socialist.
“...and the GOPe wouldn’t give him money to run the general election.”
Ohhh, that explains it! I’ve been trying to figure out why the GOPe wants to get rid of Trump because they dislike Cruz just as much. They either withhold cash or make a deal/expect RINO-capitulation for the cash. With Trump, they get no such option.
Yup, I am thrilled to have 2 top candidates including deportation in their plans. It wouldn’t even be discussed if it weren’t for Trump though ;)
>>The DemonRats have an old hag, rape enabler that’ll likely be indicted and an old Soviet-era Socialist.
Don’t you mean “rape enabler AND VICTIM ABUSER”?
His victims say she headed up the Bimbo mitigation team.
The current situation is that there is no question that Sen Cruz is a NBC under Title 8 section 1401 subsection G of the US Code.
Any challenge or suit would have to challenge current US Law and current SCOTUS interpretation that a person who is a US citizen at birth is a naturally born citizen.
She condoned his 7 visits to orgy Island on the Lolita plane! If there was ever a case, this one is bad.
Yup,and an old hag.
Manu Raju (CNN) @ mkraju
Jeff Sessions, immigration hardliner, believes the “consensus” is that Cruz is a natural-born citizen. But cautioned that he doesn’t know
