cruz is on his last gasp, I expect he will pull out the stops. It’s like quick sand, cruz believed his extremely narrow win in Iowa meant he was a front runner. Now that it is becoming clear he is not and is falling in the polls, he is desperate enough to go all out in the debate. It will have the opposite effect that he is hoping for. After SC, or maybe NV, cruz will be able to read the writing on the wall. The really sad thing for cruz is that he has destroyed any future political potential he ever had.
In all likelihood Ted has also cost himself his Senate seat in 2018 as well. The establishment hates him and will be all in to get that seat back. He’ll be primaried and probably by several candidates to force a runoff. If he survives, he will need to win a general with a party probably hostile to him. Ted would do well to drop out soon, then suck up to future President Trump and look for an AG or SC nomination.
(I am lovin' this unpredictable soap opera while cheering on Trump) Who can be sure about anything in this amazing nomination contest? I'd like to think that's correct, and there's one thing that could emerge to speed it up.
So many times I've said since I've stopped being a Cruzer that "Cruz is so smart that he outsmarts himself". Could this trait fully emerge tonight? It isn't just Trump who has endured Cruz's wrath in the past few weeks. It's Dr. Carson because of the stolen or cleverly acquired (take your choice) votes in Iowa and it's Rubio now being accused of not being 100% solid pro-life. What if these other candidates say "enough" and all pile it on Cruz? Who's there to defend Cruz? Kasich and Jeb?....that would frame Cruz as becoming part of the establishment.
One thing we've all learned. That would be how Cruz got his reputation for being nasty.
Agree. The GOP voting base is starting to coalesce around Trump as they see him a winner in the general election and the most effective change agent we can send to the Whitehouse.
LoL. Losing big to nothing.
