Gallup: Cruz Image Among Republicans Crashes
Breitbart ^ | May 2, 2016 | Mike Flynn

Posted on 05/02/2016 8:47:11 PM PDT by monkapotamus

New survey data from Gallup shows Republican voters’ image of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has fallen precipitously in the last month. At the beginning of April, half of Republican voters had a positive image of Cruz, while just 35 percent had a negative view. Since then, however, that image has almost completely flipped.

Currently, just 39 percent of Republican voters nationwide have a favorable view of Cruz and 45 percent have a negative view. Cruz’s net-favorable rating with Republican voters, then, is -six.

Over the same period, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has increased his favorable rating from 53 to 59 percent. His unfavorable rating has fallen from 41 to 35 percent...

Cruz blaming Trump for the violence at the Chicago rally was the last straw for me.

...........and everyday that passes he does or says something that reinforces my negative opinion of him even more.

In a word, he's ..........

creepy.

I said I would support the nominee (Only, Trump, Cruz or Carson at the time) from the beginning but now, Cruz really feels like the typical slimy politician I have grown to abhor...

Well gee, I wonder why.

*Sigh*

I want to think of him Cruz maybe being autistic in some way and literally being unable to see the emotions that he’s causing, but he’s really made me loathe his behavior as of late.

Trump is perceived rightly as the inevitable nominee.

Cruz comes across as the ungracious, desperate, surly loser.

That’s had an effect.

There is a list of turning points, another one was when Cruz sided with BLM and other violent protestors and blamed Trump.

The ‘Colorado Heist’ will be said to be the turning point for Canadian Cruz.

And as a Trump supporter from CO, I'm proud to have done my part by recognizing the petty tyrants who stole CO for Cruz way back last August.

Supporting the thugs in Chicago didn’t help but bragging about Colorado was the final straw.

People are starting to see the real Cruz.

Many so called “smart” people who are politically savvy were wrong for almost 1 whole year now. Even many people here on FR were so wrong because they were following a false prophet.

Trump isnt going to run-—wrong
Trump isnt going to file in all 50 states—wrong
Trump doesnt stand a chance—wrong
Trump has high unfavorability—wrong
Trump has a problem with women voters—wrong
Trump cant win evangelicals—wrong
Trump does not do well in closed primaries—wrong

Shall I keep going?

It doesn’t take a lot of Asperger’s to make someone seriously unable to perceive emotions, signals, etc. To a person with Asperger’s, it seems that most people are constantly engaging in mind-reading.

“Couldn’t you SEE how angry he was?”

“Couldn’t you TELL they were bored?”

Cruz could very well have had the career he’s had, with Asperger’s, but hit a brick wall by trying to do something beyond his lebel of competence. Trump is bursting with skills that Cruz does not have.

Plus, Trump is not an illegal alien.

I think she’s ill. That cough of hers has been persistent for some time now.

Sooner or later, her lifestyle was bound to catch up to her.

Bill has a problem of unknown detail, and I think she does too.

Watching the predictions based on these polls is like looking at the weather each day and predicting what the temperature will be in 200 years.

Yup. Early on, almost everyone here were pro Cruz in one capacity or another; either as Prez, Trump/Cruz ticket, AG, SCOTUS...

Cruz played games exercising poor judgement and even today continues destroying his career.

He's finished in the Senate, and no reputable law firm will hire him.

He's toxic and will live out the rest of his days as a house-dad and later get a job mopping floors in the Senate men's room.

I am shocked at how much this race feels like a “professional” wrestling match. Cruz feels so much like the evil wrestler at this point. The designated villain always cheats, says obnoxious stuff, is just plain evil, and gets in some good knocks, but he always loses in the end and the people love it. Maybe we owe Cruz something, a lot of people in this country love professional wrestling and maybe those people are taking a real interest this time around partially because Cruz is such a great villain.
