I couldn’t agree more. Cruz skewers Rove in his book.
Reading both Walker and Cruz books. Will read re-issue of Trump’s book.
Love reading books in electronic form! It’s great to pick up right where I left off on my tablet or phone.
I am a member of the National Federation of Republican Women. There is a Biannual Convention and this year it is in Phoenix. During Presidential election years, candidates do usually stop by. Surprised only 2 came this year. Cruz and Fiorina. I am an Arizona County Supervisor and my big issue is the transfer of public lands. I spoke with her about it. Cruz was having a private meeting with his State Committee volunteers, many of whom I know, and I was invited into that. Many of the most conservative members of the State legislature are on his committee, turns out. I got to go to the end of that meeting and have a photo and hear him speak in a private setting. He was very good. Apparently he did speak at length about the Lands issue before I got there and that made me very happy.
You assume anyone will get those voters, that they wont just stay home if no choice enthuses them.Trump is able to fill 20K capacity stadiums. Cruz enthuses his base at FR, but not much beyond us.
I don’t assume that.
Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger....he had crowds too. How did that work out after he got elected!
If Reagan dems reject that then fem let them reap what they sowed by being dems & too ignorant to see the best candidate since Reagan
Thats exactly what theyll do and they wont see that as a negative.
If they stay home because Cruz is the GOP nominee then they are fools
Thanks, Hildy! Very interesting. (I’d like to see the Lands issue addressed as well.)
No, that's part of why Trump and Carson poll where they do. I think you're underestimating Trump's numbers as regards unfavorables and "would never vote for.
I think it's going to be similar to the Romney effect, when he hits his ceiling, the rest of the vote is split and then, perhaps, not-Trump voters start combining toward other candidates. I think that's part of what's causing Carson's surge now.

Cruz is by no means out of the running, but if Trump is the nominee (and eventual winner in November 2016), I’d like to see Cruz on the Supreme Court.
You’re missing a huge part of the equation. Trump is bringing people into the Republican party. Think about that for a bit.
No. I'm looking at the whole, not Dem/Rep/Independent.. whatever. He brings some in, he kicks some out.
Don't care which is which; overall, his unfavorables are far above his positives and they are slightly higher than Jeb Bush's. Which explains why in matchups Clinton/Trump; Clinton/Bush, Bush polls higher or equal to Trump.
Please note: I'm not a Jeb Bush supporter. (I hope they knock each other out. :)
It doesn't appear he has totally broken away from Carson. Trump's numbers lately seem to have stabilized which may indicate a peak. We shall see.
