“I’m sure they will be back with another meme and conspiracy theory shortly.”

Oddly enough, Cruz is not on record effusively praising Jesse Jackson, Michael Dukakis, Hillary and Obama. Oh, but The Donald is.

Cruz is not on record advocating that W be impeached. Oh, but The Donald is.

And a hundred other damning facts easily accessible via a search.

The low information conservatives remind me of the Jean Hagen line in Singin’ In Rain: “I liked it. It was good and loud.”

Trigger warning to low info conservatives: do not listen to Cruz. He will hurt your ears and mind. He speaks coherently.

Another thing, Gratia. You haven’t created an “about” page yet. How long have you been posting on FR? Let us know something about yourself.

You don't need to sell me on Cruz, he already has my vote if he gets the nomination. He's also only 44 years old so if he loses to Trump, not the end of the world as he'll have plenty more opportunities for the presidency. We just can't afford to have another Bush get the nomination.

I don't care about Trump's past any more than I cared about Ronald Reagan's past back when he was a Democrat and divorcing his first wife.

I think Cruz is the most presidential candidate we have seen from either party since Reagan. I recognized this when he was running for the Senate, and nothing has changed that perception yet.

Unfortunately, the combined communist machinery of the media, the GOPe, and the Democrats fully intended, and would have succeeded, in shredding Ted Cruz until his funds were depleted and his public image was hopelessly (and wrongfully) destroyed. This is the Alinsky way. This is what has happened to every non-uni-party candidate that has threatened the status quo since Reagan. One at a time.

13.“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

The low information conservatives ... apparently have not noticed that Cruz is NOT attacking Trump, as are all the establishment candidates. Why would that be? Trump is not attacking Cruz. Why would that be?

Obviously Cruz does not consider Trump the opposition. Maybe our "low information conservatives" should get a clue from the interactions between the candidates, from their public statements about each other, from their common alliances with other conservatives outside their campaigns, etc. There have been no swipes at all between Trump, Cruz, or Carson, toward each other, about anything. Those three are focused on the enemy; not on each other.

On D-Day, Ike did not wade ashore all alone, and personally slug it out with Adolph. He had multiple fronts of attacks, multiple generals leading those attacks, each with massive manpower for each front. Some of the fronts were fakes and feints (South of France), or ancillary/covert (Balkans). Some were dropped behind enemy lines (the 101st Airborne drops). Some were big and bold (Normandy beaches). All were necessary. The overall objective was to overcome and defeat a heavily entrenched NAZI-controlled Fortress Europe.

"Low information conservatives" are the ones who think this is a sporting competition. It is not. Politics is war by other means. And this one is just as important as saving Europe; maybe even more important for the here and now.
