If Cruz thinks that he has ANY chance in 2020 he is delusional, by 2020 you will have 20 million new Amnesty voters plus millions of Muslim refugees who will gladly go to the polls and vote for Hillary Clinton..if we dont win in November we wont have a country anymore, period

"(“Jeff’s pretty good. Cruz won what — nine states? — and everybody thinks he’s the Zodiac [killer],” said one former opponent, referencing an online joke that dogged Cruz during the campaign.)"

Interesting that Thrush dropped in an OTR quote from a Cruz opponent basically to embarrass Jeffroe...

Any guesses who this was? Too clever for Yeb!

Overheard from Jeff Roe during the post mortem: “Uh...maybe our lies were a little *too* far fetched. Next time, instead on 100% lies, we’ll mix one or two percent worth of the truth in with 99 or 98% pure-lies. That should do the trick.”

Agree, that’s why this election is terrifying.

There is a behind the scenes campaign to deny Trump donor funding to beat Hillary. Led by dirt bag Romney and others.

It is true that Mrs. Bill starts out with at least 230 solid electoral votes, including probably NH and VA.

It is terrifying, and what is more terrifying is that there are plenty of Republicans willing to send us all into the gas chamber

As a Cruz supporter, I don’t see him getting 100 electoral votes in 2020 even he can beat George P. Bush for the nomination.

Because Cruz might have done half as well without an awesome ground game.

Something Trump doesn’t seem to be interested in enough.

This is no cake walk. She’s got a million demographics on her side.

Our side better wake the #### up, as Samuel L. Jackson said for his side last time.


Wrong. Trump wanted to raise a billion dollars but apparently he has been cut off from donor networks by treasonous scum like Romney.

Hillary needs only 40 more.

Easier for her to get there than for Trump.

“... but the architect of Ted Cruz’s efficient, numbers-focused campaign “

That lost.

I wonder how much Hillary is paying Cruz to keep doing this stuff.

Hey, Stupid Cruz, the primary is over, and you lost, big-time. So stop working for the enemy. If you really expect Hillary to pay you off, you’re even more stupid than I thought. She’s more likely to have you killed as an inconvenience, if she gets into the White House.

Orlando pretty much has made Hillary into toast for 2016.

Roe is really telling tales out of school “bragging” here. Cruz won three primaries. His home state, a neighboring state and Wisconsin. He lost ALL the Southern primaries to the “NY Liberal”. What an awful campaign and candidate Cruz was.

"Over the next few weeks Cruz’s team, still largely intact, will conduct an autopsy of the campaign from a data and messaging standpoint and dial-test Cruz’s greatest hits and lowest moments with voter focus groups. The goal is to figure out a path forward, which quite possibly involves a second shot at the big prize in 2020, and Roe thinks Trump, win or lose in 2016, won’t be on the ballot four years from now."

I know Tedlim's people will monitor this thread, so here are my suggestions:

I think quoting someone not named is "on the record" but "not for attribution." I could be wrong; my journalism days were back in the 80s :)
