This was solid analysis, somewhat unusual for NPR, although I suppose even NPR can’t ignore the giant elephant in the room

Fox likes to pretend Cruz doesn’t exist, pimping Rubio, Jeb, or secondarily Trump, but even they have had articles very similar to this.

The fact out of NH that is most impressive to me is Cruz basically spent zero money and minimal effort. To get that kind of return shows a lot about both his fiscal discipline (which I want in a President) and about how deep and committed Cruz’s support is.

See how quickly you made your case. Clear, to the point, perfect.

Why did it take Cruz 45 minutes of yammering to make that point?

Well, he would have gotten some attention, rather than putting folks to sleep.

I will be very happy when Ted Cruz is the answer to a game show question.

Trump will be the game show host.

You will be surprised how fast sheer determination can surpass universal name recognition.

You mean the candidate that finished behind John Kasich, barely beat Jeb Bush and was doubled by DJT in the last primary?

LOL!

GodGunsGuts would not have rushed this to FR if it wasn't some pathetic spin for Cruz.

Even having to resort to an NPR story too!




The choice of all "true conservatives"

I love that the Cruz campaign is not bashful about constantly adding to their war chest. How else he supposed conquer the field and depose the establishment?

YOU want sarcasm ? HOW ABOUT THIS:88% of the voters didn’t vote for Ted.

Cruz is doing very well and positioning himself exactly as he needs to be...."Cruz-Zing along!"...."Go Cruz Go!

Here's some of where he stands on issues and policey....

.....Cruz wants to build a fence and increase border control forces along the US border with Mexico. ... promised to boost immigration law enforcement and opposes All "amnesty" for illegal immigrants in America. ...and end all sanctuary cities.

...Ted believes Syrian refugees should be resettled in the Middle East

... Cruz has vowed to defeat Islamic terrorism and would "carpet bomb" the Islamic State (IS) into oblivion. Further stating..."If you join ISIS, if wage jihad on America, then you are signing your own death warrant!!"

.... Cruz has pledged to stand with Israel and believes the US-Israeli alliance is important for American security.

...Cruz holds a 'hard-line stance against Iran' and has said he would rip up Mr Obama’s Iranian nuclear deal.

....He rejects the scientific consensus on the threat posed by global warming. Stating that the facts and data simply do not support climate change....He said having viewed and studied the data:.. "They're cooking the books. They're actually adjusting the numbers."

....Cruz is an opponent of gay marriage ...He has called for the overturning of the Supreme Court's decision to legalise same sex marriage in June last year.....he argues the legality of same-sex marriage should instead be left up to individual US states.

.... Cruz would to repeal "every word" of Obamacare....

....Cruz describes himself as unequivocally pro-life and opposes abortion, even in cases of rape and incest.....and wants to stop taxpayer funding of abortions.

.....He has described marriage as a "sacrament between one man and one woman".

...The next President and First Lady of the United States of America!!!......
