Newt NEVER won anything and his baggage, which Cruz doesn’t have, was enormous !
And I’ve been here a long time and seen a LOT of very stupid posts made by fellow Freepers.

For Pete’s sake, US News & World Report is a left-wing propaganda site since the 1970s. It has zero credibility.
To: TexasFreeper2009
Reagan placated them by putting Bush on the ticket!I don't see Cruz making the same mistake.

I was planning to send him some money, but when he said he would consider means testing Social Security recipients, I decided to wait. He isn't as much of a conservative as I thought. Why can't we cut spending rather than have the government get into our business and check out our assets. The people that saved will be penalized. Means testing our retirement is socialism.

Newt backed off from his own beliefs and lost FL has he stuck to his guns, he likely would have derailed the Romney train.

And you never answered my original question.Your original question was "Cruz is a better debater so why can't he win the primaries? My answer is people are stupid and don't care about whether a person knows what they are talking about or whether their policies are legitimate. They are only into looks and charisma. That is why Cruz has a electability problem.

I had a conversation with them in 1997 when I demanded my money back, canceled my subscription, and FIRED THEM.

I have noticed that their insults are more shallow than usual and their voices are growing shrill. It is like throwing holy water on a crowd of demons.

Im so old I remember when USN&WR was the conservative news weekly. I remember too and actually subscribed to them in the early 90s. They used to be a great magazine.
To: Starstruck
Oh come on.....he IS “charismatic” !
Is jebbie “charismatic” ?
How about Walker and Jindal ?
Kaisich has nasty, old “SEX problems” baggage.
Rand is a complete turnoff, except to Paulinistas.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Yeah, me too, I had a subscription until they joined the Ministry of Propaganda.

No....we all have to spread out, far and wide and convince others of Cruz's worth and it IS what we MUST do; starting NOW!
Just reading and posting here won't do the job, alone, that we need to do.
To: bigbob
Cruz does not have the baggage Newt had and further, Newt was all over the place and Cruz is steady as she goes. GO TED!

Yes! Cash is our biggest asset for Cruz at this time. Then about 10,000 local ground games to help as things progress.

The old guard GOPe , a stinky old carp fish drying in the sun.
The person in this article fails to see that those who need to be “ impressed “ are the actual voters, not the country club old guard GOPe.
Whether anyone agrees or not, Ted Cruz IS THE Mr. Smith goes to Washington candate challenging the old guard GOPe.
