ME TOO
It’s Cruz all the way for me but, man, does Trump have a set on him!!! I just love his illegal immigration theme that “we either have a country or we don’t”, and that we have to build the fence and deport illegals and start over with legal immigration.
What utter nonsense. Cruz is brilliant on his feet and can answer challenges with facts and logic. Check out this example of his ability to swat a leftist gnat aside with style and courage of his convictions:
Ellen Page Confronts Ted Cruz on Gay Rights at Iowa State Fair
He picks her apart without even putting down the pork patty. If he was Trump, for example, he would have scowled, called her "a loser", and made some comment about her gender.
Cruz is ten times the "fighter" than anybody else on the GOP stage.
I swear, some of you people have absolutely no idea what transpires in this nation politically.
No, the media have not decided that Cruz can be their new McCain. SMH.
“Nearly 32 percent of Republicans surveyed online said they backed Trump, up from 24 percent a week earlier, the opinion poll found. Trump had nearly double the support of his closest competitor, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who got 16 percent. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson was third at 8 percent.”
Think of the debate with Cruz vs Trump. LOL
Five years ago, Donald Trump was the middle of a two-year stretch as a registered Republican. For the eight years prior to 2009, he was a Democrat. After that, through the 2012 Presidential election, he was an independent.
Facts don't support Trump.
Write this down: There is not going to be another black person on a national ticket in this country for at least a generation and if somehow it were to happen, that ticket would lose, badly.
Well that is an interesting takeaway from a post that had to do with Ted Cruz’s current standing (or lack thereof) in a recent national poll.
BTTT.
What did you think of my statement?
I listened to the discussion and comparing his replies to the hour I listened to Trump in Louisiana, I could listen to Cruz for many hours and not have to force myself to listen.
You could not be more wrong about Cruz being a good candidate. Remember he ran for Senate as a virtual unknown except for a few people in Texas.
The Republican party supported the much more household name guy (whose named I can’t even remember) ... Gov. Perry endorsed the other guy. I voted for the other guy (Soooo sorry)
And Cruz .. well, he cruised to a landslide victory all because he is such a likable candidate and good campaigner.
He’s not flashy but he lasts longer.
They've been trying or four years now...and haven't taken so much as a bite. Instead, Cruz looks very well fed.
Er, when did you start paying attention...???
I think you’re wrong about that. He got much of his money from small donations. He does have a couple of big donors but I don’t think he will stray from his principles.
Trump the media darling? What media, pray tell. They have to cover him because of who he is but mostly they’re hoping he trips up and they would love to be the ones who do it.
Ambivalence.
Watch and see. I’ve taken part in several presidential campaigns.
As have I.
