I was responding to a specific claim that was untrue, not speaking for all campaigns in all parties in the entire history of the western world.

Even the Evangelicals.

Cruz does better than Trump against Hillary in every single poll that’s been done, including a new one posted here today.

Wait until the field is winnowed down.

Actually, Cruz lost me when I heard from a TX friend that he is just another lawyer/wannabe president who doesn’t show up for his elected job too often because he’s so busy running for the White House.
Also has some problem re: his birth papers which he doesn’t produce.
Then, there’s the fact that he doesn’t have any real JOB experience or even doing a payroll.
Too, his wife has/had a really high-paying job to support their attempt to move into the White House so she can “make a difference”.
Sound like anyone we know?
How’s that working out for us now?

I disagree that Carson’s supporters will go to Cruz; they’ll go to Trump and Carson will push them so. (recall the Cruz/Carson ‘closet meeting’ - it didn’t go well).

But Ruby was better than Cruz so with that logic, we should back Ruby.

32%? Old news, my friend. Trump shattered that ceiling with 46% of the vote last night in Nevada.

Yeah, they say he isn’t going anywhere when half the GOP wants him.

Because Trump, who can’t seem to break the 32% support level, has eliminated the only other non-establishment candidate in the race. Its increasingly looking like it’ll be Trump against a RINO.”””

Last night, the Republican caucus in Nevada doubled any previous attendance and over 75,000 people voted.

Trump got more votes that Rubio & Cruz together-—over 46%.

As a life-long bookkeeper, I am pretty sure that beats 32%.

Morris is saying giving to the national GOP is throwing money away faster than even Jeb Bush can.

“That hurts. And you didn’t even ping me.”

Skeeter I went back over the posts and I didn’t see that I left you out. If I did, my apologies. I don’t know the “whys” of the reasons for who attacks whom. Actually, I was very hopeful at the outset that somehow Trump and Cruz could tie up, because there is a lot of synergy in that matchup. And early on, the two of them stayed away from direct attacks and I was happy to see that. More recently, it’s been a free for all, but who knows what’s going on behind the scenes. To be sure, both Trump and Cruz need to unload on Rubio. He’s just an empty suit with the gift of gab (and he’s really, really good at that, and the idiot voters lap it up). But we both know he’s an establishment politician who can’t be trusted to keep his word once his ass sits in the Oval Office. So your guess is as good as mine as to what’s going to happen between them, but as I see it, Cruz really hasn’t a path to the nomination based on the polling data I’ve seen regarding Super Tuesday, and actually neither does Rubio, unless the other two decide to get out, and it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. Anyway, FRiend, I’d like to keep you as a Friend.

Most Kasich supporters would go to Rubio and not Trump or Cruz.
Most Carson supporters would go to Trump rather than Rubio or Cruz.
Most of Cruz supporters would go to Trump rather than Rubio.
Most of Trump.supporters would prefer Cruz to Rubio.
Most of Rubio supporters would go to Cruz over Trump.

I want Trump.or Cruz to win in that order.

“Romney had a landslide in Nevada too and Santorum came back and won a bunch of Southern states right after. It ain’t over til it’s over.”

It is over, you just don’t want to believe that it is. This year, the past is NOT prolog.

“Cruz, ironically, is the only hope....And, ironically, Trump’s supporters are working overtime to alienate every damn one of us.”

They’ve succeeded in my case.

During the primaries its easy to forget that when you get right down to it we’re on the same team. Thanks for the note.
