It's in both Cruz and Trump interests now to have a ceasefire and focus their attacks on Rubio. Rubio winning New Hampshire would take Trump out and also give him nearly unstoppable momentum into South Carolina where he could take Cruz out.

Agree, but a) we can’t believe any polls right now, and b) in other times, a real 10-point lead would not be in any danger of erosion, and c) what was Suffolk’s LAST poll?

Agree. I think Trump could take the lead on this since it seems Cruz has written off NH.

Trump’s attacks on Cruz have driven voters to Rubio. It was a gamble which Trump probably was forced to take although I think he could have played his hand better.

Neither Cruz nor Rubio’s voters are likely to migrate to Trump during the primaries, IMO. Ditto for Carson’s voters.

Closing in is 10 points now? Wow. These polls mean squat until after the debate on Saturday night.

Yes, time for a “ceasefire” but it would have been far better (for both camps) had not war broken out at all.

No comment.

Let’s hope Yeb! spends the rest of his money taking out Mario Rubco.
Mario Rubco would be a disaster for this country.
He’d likely be a Designated Loser or if he wins, he’ll give away the country by abandoning the rule of law.

“What a difference a caucus makes,”

Why don’t they have all the primaries on the same day in every state. Then no one state could influence others.

RCP average has Cruz in 3rd, but polling a lot higher. It’s just another poll. So I’ll just wait until the actual results come in.

Cruz, Trump, Rubio and all other republicans need to stop the attacks on each other and get back to telling the truth about the disasters of Obama and the death of America if Clinton or Sanders would cause if elected.
Any many intelligent Freepers have worried that Cruz and Trump are going to knock each other out of the race and we will get Rubio or Jeb.

If you win New Hampshire as a Republican, it just means your a RINO.

So, who drops out after NH? My money is on Christie and Fiorina. NH should be Christie’s last stand and Fiorina looks like she’s already done.

I think Carson might stay through South Carolina to see how he does with less competition and then he’ll pull out, if not sooner. Either Bush or Kasich should be done after SC also, probably Kasich.

The race for the nomination is not going to end any time soon. Three guys have the ability and funding to fight it out all the way to the convention. If you believe steel sharpens steel that is not a bad thing. If you’re a Kumbaya type it’s horrible.

Yup, Trump still whining about Iowa and Ted Cruz is hurting him and the Amnesty Pimp Rubio is benefiting greatly. Prepare yourself for Rubio win in NH. The Trump will whine about Rubio cheating in NH.

There is no way Cruz is only at 7 in the poll. And I’m not a Cruz guy. I’m of the opinion that I don’t know what to believe polls wise. You have 2 tracking polls, ARG and UMass Lowell that have Trump in the mid 30’s. And Rubio in mid teens. The media polls have Trump at 29 and Rubio pushing 20. Now who knows what is what? The media and the GOPe is pushing the narrative that Rubio is surging and Trump is fading. Will the narrative become reality? Who knows. They will do anything to take him out. It’s up to the voters to decide. Trump is supposed to be in NH Sat-Tues so hope that is enough to close the deal.

Ten point spread is “closing in!” Okay. The media are shameless.

After Iowa, does anyone really believe polls?

Almost every article on this site is geared toward taking Cruz out. Screw Trump supporters. I don't want to partner with them. He is to the left of Rubio.
