Now we will see if Donald Trump is true to his word if he is going to declare war on Ted Cruz and attack Ted Cruz as Ted Cruz rises in the polls...

It’s going to get very interesting.

TRUMP 25 / CRUZ 22

Ummm... where I went to school, 25-22= 3 points

Granted, there’s the MOE thing and all, but at least they can get their math right....

Romney's Billionaire Co-Chair is going to back Rubio because he claims Cruz and Trump are unelectable

Wants other billionaires to join him.

Trump will find it difficult to attack Cruz on issues. Trump has already said Cruz agrees with him 100%. If Trump gets into personal attacks against Cruz, Trump is going to turn off some folks.

Cruz is at 23%. Must have been a typo.

Cruz has not attacked Trump, but I’m sure that Trump will come up with some zany claims about Cruz.

He just has to do well in Iowa. Third would be very good.
Beating Trump there would get him extra media coverage though. (Though it wouldn’t be ‘favorable’ publicity they’d spell his name right.)

Maybe Trump will suggest that Cruz invest in a new, well fitted suit.

Yes, we should expect something childish and small minded. His fans demand it.

Who likes Carson? He’s ignorant and arrogant.

From Ted’s email today:

“Here is what Rush just said:

“(Ted’s) conservative through and through. Trustworthy, strong, confident, leader, and somebody in whom you can totally depend.”

No mention of Trump or anyone else.

I'm one of those small minded fans. Cruz honestly needs a suit that doesn't look like he's wearing his Dad's.

I heard that he was in Trump's office (look at the pictures on the wall) and Trump loaned him a jacket for the photo, because Ted wasn't wearing one.

Then again, who cares?
