Cruz Bypasses Trump In New Attack And Goes Straight After His Voters- ‘Voters Who…’

Sen. Ted Cruz identified Wednesday what he believes is one of the main causes Donald Trump has outperformed in many of the Republican primary contests to date — low-information voters who are not really engaged in the process.

Cruz, who has made a hard play for evangelical voters since launching his candidacy, has been thwarted in the south by Trump, who has carried a surprisingly large percentage of those faith voters.

“If it’s not for evangelicals in the deep South keeping Donald Trump alive, you’re on your way to becoming the nominee. Would you agree with that assessment?” asked CBN’s David Brody.

“Donald has done well in the Southeastern states,” Cruz conceded. “He has had a good base of support. We’ve done well as well. We’ve been typically second in each of those states, and we’ve racked up delegates.”

“Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice,” the Texas senator added. “Where we are beating him is when voters get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. He’s what they’re angry at.”

Without the social money don’t mean a damn thing.

Sorry Trumpers if the truth hurts.

Actually, you and Cruz have it precisely backwards.

I was a Cruz supporter until I became more informed about him.

[Freedom56v2]

Keep insulting Trump voters, Cruz. That’s just brilliant long-term strategy.

Agreed—brilliant.

I am going to be sure to share this article with the PhD’s in my own family (There are 2, & both support Trump.).

[Nifster]

Oh that’s right. Take a look a the break outs loon. Trump is across the board. And those with advanced post graduate degrees prefer trump by a wide margin

Dear Ted,

Your statements today went too far.

If, by some miracle, you actually win the nomination you will need support from people like me. Absent an apology and some actual sign of contrition from you, you can now forget about it.

I’m well informed, better educated, and have a lot more real world experience than you ever will. I did not go to Harvard, but my BS is from the Air Force Academy and my first “real world” experience was as a flight instructor and a combat crew in the Air Force. I’ve “been there, done that” on things you can’t even imagine.

Since then I’ve picked up an MS in engineering and an MBA, multiple professional credentials, run companies, hired and fired people, and started my own consulting firm. I know a lot about things you know nothing whatsoever about. Truth be told, YOU are quite a low information person.

I’m also very involved politically, and a devout Christian. Believe what you want, but do NOT try to tell me how to be a Christian. Do not, EVER, try to shove your Seven Mountains Dominionism down my throat.

Your statements today were an insult to everyone who supports Trump. I, for one, believe you meant exactly what you said.

[patlin]

Yes Sen. Cruz, your college in the Senate, Elder Senator Jeff Sessions is a low information voter that is not engaged. Yep, just keep burying yourself distrusTed.

[Chuzzlewit]

He lost me with the creepy preacher voice inflections.

However if he wins the nod, will I vote for him against the hildebeast? In a heartbeat!

[Nifster]

You are delusional. Keep convincing yourself of that

[wmfights]

Trump has always been a mean spirited no class vulgar and perfidious insult tosser... ...finally getting a taste of his own.

Nice summary of why he can't beat hillary.

[Kenny]

Cruz is mainstreaming himself and trying to get the anti-Trump wing of the party. This is all about positioning himself in a two man race by throwing conservatives under the bus. We’re dead to him now.

BINGO! That's what Rush was pushing today. Cruz will never get Trump voters, not gonna happen. Therefore his only path is consolidate anti_Trump votes by Kasich and Rubio dropping out and supporting him.

Then came the bombshell. Rush also says Cruz will still need the GOP to line up behind him. Rush tried to play it like it would be really really hard for the GOP to do this because they "hate" Cruz but they'll suck it up.

Is Rush this out of it? Does he think Cruz supporters are so dedicated they will work with the GOP to save Cruz?

[quegley]

You are kidding me?

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

"Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice," the Texas senator added.

The Donald and Cruz agree on this point.

"We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated." –Donald Trump in Nevada victory speech.

The difference is Cruz is hoping they are open to digesting more information.

GOP Majority Voters in Primary are Wayyyyyy Beneath Cruz, So Says Cruz

http://www.foxnews.com/…/cruz-says-trump-backers-have-relat…;

Calling GOP frontrunner supporters “low information” disengaged voters, Ted Cruz’s insinuation reeks of all the reasons America knows “the status quo has got to go.” The arrogance of career politicians is something at which the rest of us chuckle, but Cruz’s latest dig strays from humorous into downright nasty. Cruz is right, though - independent, America-first, commonsense conservatives supporting Donald Trump ARE “low information” when it comes to having any information on Cruz’s ability to expand the conservative movement, beat Hillary Clinton, unify and lead the nation.

* Where’s information on any Cruz success whilst in his short, half-term U.S. Senate seat, proving his resume’s advantage over another career politicians’s lawyerly executive inexperience that includes never having created a single private sector job, but boasting of his constitutional law teacher creds? (Remember America experimented with that resume before; how’d that work out for the country?)

* Where’s info on his reasoning in inviting more illegal aliens to flood our porous borders by enticing families with benefits and literal gifts (like teddy bears and soccer balls)? http://theconservativetreehouse.com/…/ted-cruz-visits-texa…/

* Any info on why he won’t denounce his highest-profile campaign buddy, despite Glenn Beck’s proclamation that he “hates” America’s innocent victims of 9/11 and calls the families crybabies? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf33g9ep4YU, nor hold accountable his campaign manager for abhorrent tactics that mirror Alinsky’s Politics of Personal Destruction? http://www.mediaite.com/…/ted-cruz-adviser-admits-to-makin…/

* Info on why he continues to stand on stage with that most prominent supporter who slurs millions of patriotic Americans supporting the GOP frontrunner, calling them Nazi “brown shirts”? http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/…/glenn-beck-loses-fans-an…/

* Info on consistency with his big endorsement this week, as Carly tells it like it is so very recently?
“Ted Cruz is just like any other politician. He says one thing in Manhattan, he says another thing in Iowa. He says whatever he needs to say to get elected, and then he’s going to do as he pleases. I think people are tired of a political class that promises much and delivers much of the same.” - Carly Fiorina 1/2/16

* Info on his support for his crony capitalists’ insistence that he fast-track Obama’s unbalanced trade agenda, then lied about it? http://theconservativetreehouse.com/…/yes-unfortunately-te…/

* Info on why he’s fine with increasing U.S. debt? http://truthinmedia.com/cruz-rubio-vote-increase-debt-ceil…/

* Info on how it helps make America great again by arrogantly disenfranchising this Primary season’s majority voters who are fed-up, inspired, optimistic, and engaged? How does it help unify the party or the nation when that holier-than-thou narcissism manifests itself through negative, biting, deceptive tactics... when he’s had so many opportunities to disavow his campaign’s shenanigans and apologize for his own?

The information we’ve sought is nonexistent, thus “low information voters” comprising the GOP majority support Cruz staying in the Legislative branch, while hopefully gaining understanding of the private sector’s need to reduce the big government he’s a big part of.

Trump’s energized, positive campaign has led to this record setting stat: of all 24 states that have voted so far, ALL smashed previous GOP turnout records! 4,347,317 votes nationwide for Trump already. Now THAT’S “enlarging the tent.” Any info, Ted, on where you think that “disengaged” momentum will take us?

It is the task of each campaign to educate people

...and every day natural born Canadian citizen, now a naturalized US citizen per the 1965 Immigration & Naturalization Act, Ted Cruz further confirms he is nothing more than a Romney 2.0 Establishment political crony, who is always for something until he is against it, such as his switch on TPP right before he announced his candidacy, just after he coauthored a glowing article on it with RINO Ryan.

[patlin]

THANKS! bookmark for future reference

[Chgogal]

Cruz is dumber than one would believe. Trump is brilliant.

“Well educated people voted for me. Poorly educated people voted for me. I love the poorly educated people.”

[georgiarat]

Ted really never cared about those voters and it shows now the Southern primaries,are over except for NC and Florida.

I am an elite Harvard lawyer. The little people don’t matter. My wife Hiedi says stick with the GOPe and Goldmand Sachs and they will take you to the promised land.

[Defiant]

Yup, that’s it. Ted gets the pastors and church board, and Donald gets the church bus driver and the people in the bus.

[The Enlightener]

“Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice,” the Texas senator added. “Where we are beating him is when voters get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. He’s what they’re angry at.”

reminds me of this quote from This Is Spinal Tap:

Marty: The last time Tap toured America, they where, uh, booked into 10,000 seat arenas, and 15,000 seat venues, and it seems that now, on their current tour they're being booked into 1,200 seat arenas, 1,500 seat arenas, and uh I was just wondering, does this mean uh...the popularity of the group is waning?

Ian: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no...no, no, not at all. I, I, I just think that the.. uh.. their appeal is becoming more selective.

So the way for Ted to win is to get more selective and win over the educated voter. Everyone else is just stupid.

which reminds me of this quote from plan 9 from outer space:

Jeff Trent: So what if we *do* develop this Solanite bomb? We'd be even a stronger nation than now.

Eros: [with disgust] Stronger. You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!

Jeff Trent: That's all I'm taking from you! [pistol-whips Eros upside the head]

Hope that works out better for Ted than it did for Eros there . . .
