New Monmouth poll released today. Trump 41% Cruz 14%. I would worry too much about Trump’s tactics. :-)
That was before any of this weekends shenanigans and before Rush nailed him today and before Levin nails him tonight and before Tuesday’s debate.
Oh, and it’s a national poll.....hardly predictive of what is going to happen. Look up predictive....
“...that Cruz agrees 100% with him its just that he has to mention everything first and then Cruz comes along.”
That would be great to see if Trump goes there. (I’m for Cruz).
I wasn’t trying to track your logic...I jumped in on an immigration comment regarding Cruz, saying that my take on Trump’s recent criticism of Cruz is different than most, that I see Trump attempting to increase his market share among non-Cruz supporters or at least to say “Your choice is Crazy Man A or Crazy Man B, so either way you have to decide between 2 guys labeled crazy.”
Now, if you can’t see argument, it’s not because I haven’t tried to explain it. This is about the 3rd time. You might not consider it a valid argument, but that’s different. I don’t know, though, because you haven’t addressed it yet. Instead, you’ve addressed your distaste for Trump. Got it.
If I were on the debate stage and wanting to seem not harsh I would say that Cruz agrees with me 100% after I suggest it first and I would also say I don’t understand how at this late date Ted Cruz still does not know what he would do with the 11-20 million illegals in this country until he secures the border. That sounds like amnesty. Those two talking points would be very effective.
I don’t know if Cruz is a boating man, but I’d be more concerned with fixing the hole in the hull than figuring on which pail to use to bail out the water. At least Cruz is getting the order right as opposed to Reagan, who granted amnesty first with the “promise” that the border would be controlled later. Still waiting. In fact, iirc, that is Cruz’s point - let’s do what the law already requires us to do - control the border.
You really don’t know what you’re talking about. The GOPe despise Cruz and will not “cozy up to him” for any reason. Big business/big government Trump is not their favorite either but poses less of a threat to the government gravy train than a conservative like Cruz.
“You really don’t know what you’re talking about. The GOPe despise Cruz and will not “cozy up to him†for any reason.”
To get rid of Trump. That’s reason enough. The left-wing media is on-board as well as you will see national press outlets start easing back on the negative articles about Cruz.
And no, the guy they calling a fascist, racist, Hitler, a Nazi, a demagogue, a bigot, an embarrassment, a clown, carnival barker, and so on. From Cheney down to Lindsy Graham.
They aren’t doing that because they feel good that he will not be a threat to the “government gravy train”. They know he’s a 100% free agent, and doesn’t owe them anything.
“That was before (insert this will get Trump for sure issue here)”
Trump’s base isn’t malleable. I’ve been saying this since last summer. The people that are there are there because they believe in what Trump represents on their own, not because someone gave them permission through an endorsement. Support through endorsements are supporters that you could not convince on your own.
It’s not there because of Limbaugh or Levin, and wont change because of them
“Oh, and it’s a national poll.....hardly predictive of what is going to happen. Look up predictive....”
Like them or not, they aren’t ALL wrong.
