Ted Cruz Favorability Rating Collapse Confirmed in National and Ohio Post-RNC Convention Polls
Gateway Pundit ^ | 07/26/2016 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 07/26/2016 1:47:23 PM PDT by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle

Ted Cruz’s failure to endorse rival Donald Trump for president at last week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio has apparently caused his favorability rating among GOP voters to collapse, according to a national survey and an Ohio poll.

An NBC News/Survey Monkey nationwide poll released Tuesday and a PPP survey of Ohio Republicans released Monday confirms the shocking collapse in Cruz’ favorability rating among Republican voters following the convention seen in a CNN/ORC poll released Monday.

CNN/ORC:

“Cruz’s move, however, appears to have backfired. While 60% of Republican voters had a positive impression of the former presidential candidate before the convention, just 33% have one now.”

NBC News/Survey Monkey:

“Ted Cruz, who scored a strong round of boos when he declined to endorse Trump in his speech to the RNC, was not viewed kindly by Republicans voters. Though Cruz finished second in the GOP primary race, just 28 percent of members of his own party now view him favorably; 68 percent now view him unfavorably. Clearly, his performance at the GOP convention was not received well by his party.”

PPP Ohio:

“The biggest loser from the convention is Ted Cruz though. He has an 18/65 favorability rating with Ohio voters, making him by far and away the least popular figure in our poll. Even among Republicans he’s at just 23/61. We asked GOP voters who they would support in a hypothetical primary contest between Trump and Cruz, and Trump wins out 61-19.”

Rush - a former Cruz supporter - said that during Cruz’s speech he noticed Eric Trump jump out of his seat and point. He speculated that Eric knew Cruz was deviating from the script and was pointing at the teleprompter. That from Rush was quite an admission of Cruz’s guilt!

No kidding? I never heard that Cruz “pulled the ol’ switcheroo & went rogue”! omg!

He’s a dangerous man for sure and a real backstabber for sure- even when that lame ass Paul Ryan stood up & speechified calling for party unity.

On another note- I’d like to bring up Rafael Cruz-Ted’s father. There was a pic of the father w/ Lee H Oswald together from back in the day & i’ve not really researched this particular item but if you remember Geo HW Bush was rumored (i’ve found only evidence of his formal hire as Dir of CIA & nothing prior)to have been employed at some type of on the ground operations going back to JFK’s assassination. I also have seen photographic evidence of him being in Dallas the day Pres Kennedy was assassinated.

If it is true that Rafael Cruz and Lee H Oswald were acquaintances and Geo HW Bush was employed by the CIA in some capacity it leads me to draw a certain conclusion that Ted Cruz is no stranger to politics and all it’s dirty business.

If you remember when Ted first came on the scene he was touted by the MSM as a newbie and neophyte to Wash DC but I have the opinion now that he wasn’t and isn’t-

and somewhere along the line his political grooming went awry or else he just wanted to bust out on his own leaving his handlers . He was really touted as a rogue during his first term.

But onto another subject hopefully tying in to deconstruct a minor mystery.

I found a documentary on Amazon entitled “Dark Legacy”.

https://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Gearge-Walker-Herbert-Kennedy/dp/B002Q79WMM

But what really caught my eye was a review posted & I found it very interesting. I have no way to prove nor disprove but this review was thought provoking.

Here’s the review:

Special — Poetic, Compelling — Sufficient to Indict George Bush Sr.
By Robert David STEELE Vivas HALL OF FAME on January 18, 2013
Format: DVD
I am a former spy, honorary hacker, and the #1 Amazon reviewer for non-fiction, reading in 98 categories visible at Phi Beta Iota the Public Intelligence Blog. After 9/11 my reading has focused on information pathologies and as I find them, on conspiracies that have generally involved government complicity and government lies to the public in the ensuing cover-up. This video adds huge weight to the now documented assassination of JFK by a mix of Texas and New York oil interests, and Cuban exiles trained and managed by rogue CIA officers including George Bush Senior—the conclusion of this movie, clearly showing all of the personal connections that make George Bush Senior the central figure in the assassination of JFK, cannot be ignored. I believe in Truth & Reconcilation, and if there is one man living who should be forced to confess publicly so that the public can know the truth, that man is George Bush Senior.

First off, the film is superbly professional and poetic in its opening, a panoramic survey of John F. Kennedy and why he mattered, as a President representing the 99%, as a President striving for peace and against the US military industrial complex (books show that Khruschev had the same problem with his own military complex).

Crucifies ABC’s Peter Jennings for being part of a cover-up and nationally-televised propaganda film lying to the public. As an intelligence professional who has written extensively about information pathologies, I hold the captured corporate media in great disdain, and consider all of them to be craven to the nth degree.

I have to say that as good as the movie is, it absolutely had to be valued in the context of the books that provide vastly more detail. This movie is a summary — a very compelling and gifted presentation of the totality of the assassination including details and excellent photographic and video reviews, but the movie is only good enough to INDICT George Bush Senior, not enough to convict.

The record is incontrovertible. Kennedy was killed by a combination of Texas oil money and Texas political influence combined with a CIA element, perhaps a rogue element perhaps not, led by George Bush Senior, and utilizing the Cuban exiles trained and equipped by CIA to assassinate Castro, but so furious over the Bay of Pigs they were happy to be part of the assassination. Few understand that CIA set JFK up, lied to him about the prospects of the invasion, and generally committed treason in lying to the President and failing to be professional in all matters pertaining to Cuba.

The record is incontrovertible. LBJ actively conspired to cover up the assassination and willfully manipulated the Warren Commission and all public perceptions because he was deathly afraid of being found out to have peddled influence and in many other ways violated his oath of office as Vice President, mostly in relation to illegal influence peddling within the grounds of the White House itself.

The movie is flawed in not dismissing Oswald as a shooter. He was a patsy having lunch and standing in the doorway as the motorcade went by, there is now a photo of him standing in the doorway. He is also KNOWN to have tested completely negative for gunpower residue, a result that was quickly covered up. Where the movie is strongest is in illuminating SEVEN bullets instead of the one.

The details are compellingly narrated and illustrated with video that has been seamlessly edited together.

It makes me very very sad to watch this movie. I have known for some time that JFK was killed by a mix of CIA, New Orleans mafia, and Texas money, and that Martin Luther King was probably killed by a US Army sniper on detail to the FBI, but it is only in recent years that I have recognized that it was the fact that these people found it so easy to GET AWAY WITH the murder of the president, that changed US politics forever. Every President since JFK has known that they are hostage to assassination and that the Secret Service is theater.

The movie makes it absolutely clear that the entire murder scene was controlled by the CIA team under the probable leadership of George Bush Senior, to include a driver for the President that braked the car for the seven shots instead of speeding away after the first shot; the motorcycles and Secret Service people were pulled back from the President’s car, and fake Secret Service people, no doubt with credentials created by the Office of Technical Services (OTS) that has always done this kind of thing very well.

The body, instead of being autopsied in Dallas, was quickly moved to Bethesda where military forces could control and manipulate the findings. It appears, not just in this case, but in many others, military autopsies can be ordered up to arrive at pre-determined cover-ups. The body was actually MOVED from one ceremonial casket to another, and between the two caskets, surgury was performed to change the wounds in the head, and the body was put in a body bag that did NOT originate in Dallas.

There are many, many dead bodies associated with the Bush Family — and also the Clinton Family — just as there are many, many dead Colonels, including Col James Sabow, USMC (Aviation), murdered by Marines on the direct orders of the Commandant or the Assistant Commandant, to keep him from exposing the CIA’s running of drugs into El Toro. It just stabs me in the heart to recognize how many people — good officers every one — have been so easily murdered, and the US Government, ostensibly the people’s government — covers it up.

This movie is a stellar example of what smart honest people can do working against enormous forces that seek to obscure and mislead.

Here are books I have reviewed that bear out this movie—although as I have to say, this movie has introduced me to the entire story in a manner that is very coherent and admirably compelling.

A Farewell to Justice: Jim Garrison, JFK’s Assassination, and the Case That Should Have Changed History

An Act of State: The Execution of Martin Luther King

This movie is DEEP — thoughtful, meticulous, just amazing. The discussion of how the body was mutilated to cover up the grassy knoll shots, is especially original, not something I have read about.

It is not until Part III of the movie that Richard Helms, Howard Hunt, Frank Sturges, and George Bush Senior, all employed by the CIA. Maurita Lorentz is a tremendous witness to the fact of Frank Sturges leading two station wagons of men from Miami to Dallas where they linked up with Hunt who handed out the plans and money. This was the killer team. There were also surgical teams, witness control teams, the patsy team, etcetera.

Richard Nixon is tied in, having employed Jack Ruby as an information collector, and he was in Dallas as well. Later he brought Connelly in as Secretary of the Treasury. The movie places Nixon as a paid employee taking order from “really big devils” — Duponts and Rockefellers.

There is an interesting side show on Hoover investigating Duponts and Rockefellers for supporting the Nazis, and ties in Prescott Bush as the head of the Nazi bank in the USA (the Union Bank), with Fritz Tyson. The Bush-Nazi connection turns out to be fundamental to understanding the later history of the Bush family. Prescott Bush sponsored Nixon’s early days. The movie climaxes with George Bush Senior being shown as the key man orchestrating the JFK assassination, after tracing a number of connections.

Interesting coverage of Kennedy ordering Hoover to find CIA’s secret training camps for Cubans, and Oswald being an FBI information against the CIA that was his employer. Hoover may have been tipped off by Oswald to the larger plan — one of the books I cite above says that JFK knew there was an assassination planned against him, the 29 November 1963 memo from Hoover to State about a “mis-guided anti-Castro group” naming George Bush of CIA as the key man.

Allen Dulles and Prescott Bush and Averell Harriman and Bill Casey and Richard Bissell (fired by JFK) are all tied together. Skull and Bones is featured as well.

The movie can be said to over-reach somewhat, drawing many conclusions from relationships and documents that are not necessarily incontrovertible, The possibility that Zapata Oil may have been a CIA cover company in direct support of CIA’s anti-Castro camps.

I have no direct knowledge, obviously. I also believe in Truth and Reconciliation Commmissions rather than punitive justice against individuals. This movie is so compelling, that if I had the power, I would demand the deposition of George Bush Senior on this matter, before he dies. More evidence will come out eventually. I am seeing more and more that 40-50 years appears to be the time frame for atrocities to be fully understood.

The truth at any cost lowers all other costs. We have to get a grip. This movie is one starting point.

5.0 out of 5 starsMasterpiece: Cries out for Revolutionary Change in America
By anisuzani on May 3, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This documentary should be a required part of the American history curriculum. Let us dissect the speeches about “never hearing of planes flying into buildings,” about how “they hate us for our freedoms and because we’re so good(!)” when we’re bombing their cities, using nuclear warheads to decimate their populations, performing sleight of hand to pretend that the spread of freedom and democracy is our mission: Is this akin to naming your CIA boat Barbara when the idea is to pretend that you were never part of that club? These demons from hell have had loads of experience. Stop and think for a moment what all of this needless warring on behalf of one malignant family, their friends and associates... think about what this has meant to the world and to this country? The education reformers (and destroyers of higher education in America) — i.e., those who have made it impossible to get a degree without paying with your future life savings provided you’re lucky enough to land a job after the education part (which has become 99% propaganda for the Fewer Than One Percent) are part of this elitist Nazi cabal that has ruthlessly set out to destroy the United States of America since WWII. The fall-out of this malignancy, aside from the tragic destruction of any and all moves toward world peace includes the on-going rape of the US taxpayer, the corruption of the judicial system, the corruption of the democratic process itself, the redirection of funds that should be used for infrastructure, education and strengthening the country for a promising future, all of it drained away into a war machine constantly on the march, ready to enact Poppa Bush’s New World Order fantasy in which he and his “dark legacy” will run the world. See this documentary and educate yourself on what the Bush family has in mind.Read more ›

Yes. Trump mentioned it the next day when he met with his volunteer group. And I had seen it before that on the crawl of one network — probably Fox.

“I appreciate his (Cruz’s) refusal to be bullied by the GOP.”

I checked twice and could not find A SINGLE RESPONSE FROM YOU.

I do think if you are going to throw out blurbs like the above, at this point, when our nominee is selected (and go against JR), you do need to at least RESPOND to the 30 people that you angered.

If you insist on staying silent, perhaps it’s time to find a forum more to your liking (like National Review).

Rush - a former Cruz supporter

All Rush does is carry water for the highest bidder.

I stopped taking him seriously in 1994 when his TV show ran reruns the week before the Clinton "assault weapons" ban.

If Rush was a real patriot he would have taken a stand, instead, he skirted the issue completely.

Rush has always been a GOPe lackey.

“I believe that he will be found quilty of fraud concerning his citizenship anyways. That will void the pension.”

That would certainly guarantee the end of the lying, globalist, snake.

Save your Cruz campaign paraphernalia. Could be worth a bundle down the road.
