Yep. Calling people selfish jerks and going on insult tirades. That’ll do it.
Who are these “evangelicals”?
Dang, there goes one more Crews talking point.
"One thing is increasingly evident, the conservative wing of the Republican party, at least in Iowa, is carrying the day," Brown added.
Cruz is taking the lion's share of the right wing among Iowa likely Republican Caucus participants, with Trump taking a good chunk and only a few scraps for the rest of the pack.
Cruz leads Trump:
50 - 34 percent among self-professed Tea Party members;
39 - 27 percent among white, born-again Evangelical Christians;
49 - 29 percent among voters describing themselves as "very conservative."Trump leads Cruz:
29 - 21 percent among self-identified "somewhat conservative" voters;
37 - 6 percent among voters claiming to be "moderate" or "liberal."
GO TED CRUZ!! VOTE TED CRUZ!!
Trump winning big over Cruz. See the large sample size. And Trump +22% over Cruz.
Hmmm. Evangelicals vote Democrat or Republican nice.
Lies, All lies.
Some like Trump, some like Cruz... both have their own selling points and their own gaps.
Cruz might be better in some different capacity. Just because a chap is an evangelical running for president doesn’t make him the friendliest administration for Christians.
Being that the establishment GOP despises Cruz and the MSM absolutely fears him, is enough to give him my vote. Now that the GOP establishment is backing Trump, my vote is sealed for Cruz. I’m tired of ALL big government....
Who called people ‘selfish jerks’? Context?
it’s certainly an uphill battle it would seem.
what worried me the most was trump was losing to hillary one to one
most recent is a tie. that’s good.
cruz beats her by a few.
i know it’s so early that it practically doesn’t matter but it gives me something to look at :)
But not in Iowa where they are actually paying attention. This sounds a lot better for Trump than it really is. That 37/20 ratio is not going to hold up for Trump as we move forward.
Many evangelicals vote Republicans, but the Republicans are so bad they have secret longings to return to “the democracy”. If they can just find another GA Jimmuh???
The new Quinnipiac University Iowa poll released today finds that Cruz has doubled his lead over Trump among the critical Evangelical voters. Cruz now leads Trump among Iowa Evangelicals by 12 points - 39 percent to 27 percent. The Iowa Republican Caucus is a two-man race with Trump at 31 percent and Cruz at 29 percent among likely Republican Caucus participants. Marco Rubio is at 13 percent. No other candidate is above 7 percent.
Cruz leads Trump:
50 - 34 percent among self-professed Tea Party members;
49 - 29 percent among voters describing themselves as "very conservative."
Trump leads Cruz:
29 - 21 percent among self-identified "somewhat conservative" voters;
37 - 6 percent among voters claiming to be "moderate" or "liberal."
The new poll is virtually unchanged from the January 11 Quinnipiac poll which found Trump at 31 percent, with 29 percent for Cruz and 15 percent for Rubio...."
“Who are these evangelicals?”
Well they’re not Mr. Purist Conservative who have been waiting for Mr. Perfect Candidate for several decades.
I don’t necessarily disagree, but I don’t know how to quantify it.
He’d be much better than the barking dog we have in there now.
So would Trump.
I prefer Trump.
I expect to vote for Cruz too, but I am rarely on the winning side. I have little hope that Cruz can win much of anything. Heck, he might even be defeated for senator in 2018.
Totally agree, HiTech RedNeck.
And I am suspicious of the theology of Raphael Cruz, Ted’s father. Dominion Theology . . or . . Seven Mountains Theology both sound suspicious to me.
