They better do something. Cruz has lost 2/3 of his support since he announced. Now in the low single digits according to the latest Fox poll. I like Ted, but his performance so far hasn’t inspired confidence.

I think he’ll gain much of that support back after the debates.

The Cruzer has enough smarts to realize this may well be a financial marathon with him, Trump, and Jeb fighting a long long battle.

Well since Trump hates Jeb, and Cruz ain’t real happy with Rove, guess which 2 will work together to annihilate Jeb.

Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Rick Perry’s presidential assperations floating and going down the toilet with Linda Graham grabbing onto anything that floats.

I’d say after the debates in 3 weeks or sooner we may have one or two drop out.

Lost 2/3rds of his support since he announced ?

I think you better start getting data from a more reliable source that does not have a agenda to get Jeb Bush elected, yes, FixTHENews Fox News is a month peice for Jeb Bush.

If that is true that Ted Cruz has lost 2/3rds of his support, then ? Why did her beat out ALL of the rest of the field including Jeb Bush in campaign donations in the 2nd quarter ?

That there is the true indicator of how Ted Cruz is doing, he is also doing well in smaller individual donations.

I haven’t listened to FixTheNews Fox News in over a month now.

Hannity is a shill for Jeb Bush.

The problem is that the number of social conservatives is small and shrinking. The American people like the socialist way.

So go hide in the closet and suck your thumb.

Yeah, when your guy is down the polls are rigged. Were they rigged when it showed him at Cruz at 12% when he announced? He lost some support siding with Obama on TPA, and some has no doubt gone to others including Trump. BTW I watch Fox, and of course a lot of the pundits have attacked Trump and to a lesser extent Cruz, but from what I’ve seen Hannity has been pretty even handed. He’s given every candidate a full hour with no gotcha questions, and tries to give everyone time. Of course some of his GOP-e regular guests like Rove are in the tank for Jeb, but that’s to be expected.

As for small donations being an indicator of mass support, if that was true we would have had Ron Paul elected at least twice.

I don’t think Huckabee has that much appeal.

The problem is that Huckabee is going to bleed evangelical support from Cruz. And guys like Walker and Paul are going take away blue-collar and libertarian support away.

You're looking at this perhaps the wrong way. What you could also say is that Cruz will get some support from evangelicals, libertines, economic conservatives, small government conservatives, national defense hawks and pro Israel conservatives. He has the widest swath of appeal of anyone. Huckabee's going no where, ditto Paul, but yes, Walker is going to be formidable.

Yep, he can pretty much count on Huck and Carson’s votes and can also make a play for Paul’s. Not to mention, He’ll get Trump’s if he fizzles. As long as he qualifies for the debates, Ted is in good shape.

Maybe, maybe not. One of the more interesting things about the latest Fox poll is that they also asked for everyone's second choice, to see what would happen if anyone dropped out. If Trump dropped out his supporters were about evenly spread across the board between Walker, Bush, Carson, Cruz, Jindal, Santorum and Huck. In other words it doesn't change anything. Of course it early, and that can change also. I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade here, but we should at least be realistic about where things stand now.
