When you're getting as much constant, negative press as Ted Cruz is and still placing well in all these polls, straw polls and online polls, you're obviously doing something right. Gov. Walker and Sen. Rubio get fawning media coverage these days, in comparison.

[oust the louse]

I’m all in with Cruz! period.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I like it when I dont even see Bush’s name mentioned in these kind of articles :)

[newfreep]

Ditto that!!!

Rubio is “Bush-the-younger”.
Walker is “Rubio-lite”.
Cruz is the ONLY true Constitutional Conservative...and gets the “big picture”.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I didn’t even notice that until you brought it up.

bump

[GeronL]

I didn’t think Weekly Standard readers would leave Jeb Bush in the ground like that. lol.

[JRandomFreeper]

Cruz supporters aren't playing with BS polls. We have real stuff to do. Like volunteering our time and money.

WAlker leads in Weekly Standard straw poll.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wiscosnin interest ping list.

Cool, cool.

It’s heartening to not see Rubio or the Jebster *spits on the ground in disgust* at the top.

[Maelstorm]

Cruz is top of my list. I still like many of the others but at this time we need more than ever a brave candidate who will not shrink from the great cultural and political debates. We can not afford a candidate that will simply aim to coexist in a left wing dominated world.

[YouGoTexasGirl]

Exactly!!! I don’t do polls but give my support with my pocketbook....so far Cruz 100%$$!!

There are so many polls one could not keep up with them so we don’t poll until say September 2016.

Prayers for Ted Cruz’s walk and run!!!

[taxcontrol]

Another way to view this is that the top two conservative candidates account for over 50% of the poll.

[erod]

We’ll see where Cruz is after the debates, I can’t see how Rubio or Walker are going to out debate him.

[RitaOK]

It’s pretty remarkable the way Cruz has moved the polls, up into the top tier. We all knew how first rate he is, but more and more are finding out because this is very good news. Staying static very long is not helpful.

The polls are way early, but this is a fun one.

Right when Bush announces that he has raised more money in one week than any candidate in history. Bless his heart.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Money is important, that’s why I’m a Cruz bundler, but character and reliability are much more important.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I cannot contemplate any currently possible or probable candidate, either Republican or Democrat, that could touch him in a debate, even with 10 Candy Crowleys moderating, can you?

[RitaOK]

Yes, of course. But, at this point money is all Jeb can chalk up.

Frankly, I have started to wonder if money and polls aren’t in collusion. Cruz has kept his head down raising serious money and not yet making a lot of personal appearances. He is not getting great press, but he is rising in the polls anyway, with little exposure, but right along with collections.

Just wondering.

Cruz or Lose!
