“any conservative laws passed?”
With a rabid leftist President signing such bills, there was never an opportunity to do so.
“Ran anything in private sector which survives by not losing money?”
Most people are not business owners, not a fair question, but since you mentioned it, FOUR OF THE CORPORATIONS run by Trump went bankrupt.
“Any jobs created by himself?”
Moot question because Cruz is not a business owner.
“Any friends in 99 Senate colleagues?”
Aren’t those colleagues the GOPe everyone here rants and raves about, but you criticize Cruz for having no friends among them. that is a point in Cruz’s favor.
Next Tuesday night we return to reality in NH. LOL!
So what conservative laws president Cruz proposes will be passed by the congress?
Can you name TWO?
Four out of 100+ businesses went bankrupt?
That means Trump was batting 0.960
That beats Babe Ruth by a mile?
Do you know anything about business startups?
Do you know 90% of new businesses fail?
The ignorance is palpable.
You asked questions that I provided correct and truthful answers to.
I doubt seriously trump has started that many new, distinct businesses. His specialty is real estate development, and unless the construction of each building was a separate business the 100+ claim is doubtful.
But you only offered retaliation on one of the four questions which you posed and I answered, interesting.
I have no idea, and that will be dependent upon the US Congress and its’ constituency in any case.
I don’t care how much Trump wants to usher in some sort of “new era” in politics - not every vestige of the existing system is necessarily wrong. Ground game matters, and Trump continues to be this disorganized and pathetic on the ground, he’s going to need to be +10 in polling to breathe easy in any state.
And for those who want to complain that Iowa isn’t predictive, Cruz isn’t Huckabee or Santorum. Both of them took an all-or-nothing gamble on Iowa, hoping to piggy-back fundraising and organization off of the win. Cruz already has the organization and the funding in place. He may not do well in New Hampshire (then again, he might), but he’s well placed in South Carolina, Nevada, and most of the “SEC Primary” states.
Now that the veneer of the “invincible” Trump is off, can Trump maintain his double-digit polling leads? I doubt it, but that may just be hope talking.
The playground rules have been changed.
“Paradigm Shift” is a term we would have used 15-20 years ago.
Hitler didn’t move to the middle, it’s not necessary .
Figure it out. Substitute FDR, JFK, etc.
Nationalism plays well to the home crowd in the 7th inning
