The scary thing to me when watching the contest so far is that almost as many voters are showing up on the Democrat side as for the Republicans. This is despite the Democrats having a contest between a lying POS old lady who deserves to be behind bars and a text book communist scumbag who is promising policies that will ensure the destruction of the country. They have nothing to be excited about and in general they are too lazy to get off their butts to do anything. But even at this early stage there are almost as many of them who show up as there are Republicans and we have a very animated race taking place.
In New Hampshire which is far more representative of the rest of the country than Iowa, Ted Cruz got approximately 33,000 votes. Approximately 1 out of 10 Republicans voted for him. Bernie Sanders got approximately 152,000 votes nearly 5 times as many as Cruz. More chilling... Bernie Sanders drew far more than 10 times as many people to his events in New Hampshire than Ted Cruz. Obviously many of them were too stoned to make it out to vote, but in the general election someone will give them a ride.
It is just a pipe dream among Ted's hard corps followers that someone with no charisma, no leadership abilities or experience, who most people perceive as a little creepy... even his colleges in the senate, has even the remotest chance of winning in the general election.
Even if Cruz somehow made it to the general, the Democrats will challenge his eligibility and a sympathetic media and court system will find against him. Ted Cruz as president is a pipe dream that has absolutely no chance of ever happening. The only thing that I am sure of in this election is that Ted Cruz will not be our next President.

That’s what I call the parasite vote. There are actually a majority of parasite voters, people who get government money in some way or another. They will naturally be inclined to vote for whoever will continue giving them money. On the other hand the host vote, those of us who are paying for it all, are a minority. That is why the republican candidate has to be one who can pull all the crossover and independent votes possible. Ted can’t do it - Trump can. That fact is proven at every rally Trump has.
