Trump's Dirty War Losing Steam: CRUZ Leads Fresh WI Poll -and Now Within 3 Points Nationally
Reaganite Republican ^ | 24 March 2016 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 03/24/2016 3:21:28 AM PDT by Reaganite Republican


And Trump's surely helping the cause, with unhinged cheap-shot attacks on Heidi Cruz- when this woman is 10,000x times more impressive than unintelligible prop Melania Trump will ever be...

Alas, the pattern is well-established: Trump comes up with some dubious excuse to orchestrate a character assassination (that's already been elaborately planned), goes into a two day twitter frenzy disingenuously playing the victim in a crudely staged scene that's a mirror-image of the one the master projectionist is actually about to spring upon his latest mark.

Then when Trump shifts into attack-mode, Drudge, Breitbart, paid bloggers and twitter trolls spread the false narrative/finish them off if they're still moving.

After this latest gutter-offensive, how any woman could vote for The Donald is beyond me... seems to have a bizarre love/hate relationship with females, 
to say the least.  

It's been truly unsettling to see Trump just nod his head in somebody's direction -like Carlo Gambino- and loyal thugs promptly go after them, 
be it online or at his monster-truck-style rallies. 

And the Orwellian propaganda generated against Ted Cruz blows my mind-- so sad to watch millions of Americans join-in the utterly dishonest trashing of this good man and all he stands for in service to some would-be 
post-constitutionalist dictator. 

Who knows how many paid trolls he's got out there spreading his noxious slander -there's obviously an organized online offensive- but the last couple months social media and news/blog comments sections have been a cesspool to behold, like dirty campaigning gone nuclear- and we've all got Trump to thank for it. 

I pray there's really not that many actual people out there who believe whatever tripe Dear Leader spoons them, and I will say over half the Trumpsters who come after me on twitter appear to be fake accounts, supported by teams of other fake accounts. With all the smear tactics, it seems Trump has combined Organizing for America with KGB disinformation techniques-- and it worked, for a while.

But are we really this screwed-up from the last eight years that we don't think there's anything wrong in the way Trump 'campaigns'... and that the answer is our own nominally 'conservative' Obama who also talks out both sides of his mouth... and runs like a scorched-Earth Alinskyite with a rabid twitter army?

Perhaps not: there is reason to consider Arizona a lagging indicator, with all that early voting for Trump (and Rubio) not truly reflecting the public's growing disaffection for the current GOP frontrunner. 

After Trump received an ass-whooping in Utah, a fresh poll suggests that the Tang-toned tyrant's schtick is also rapidly wearing thin in winner-take-all Wisconsin:
In a statewide Emerson College poll released today, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is not only leading Trump 36% to 35% in the upcoming primary, but Cruz is only trailing Hillary Clinton by one point in a hypothetical general election matchup, 46% to 45%.

In contrast, Trump is trailing both Clinton and her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, by the same 9-point margin of 47% to 38% in a potential general election match-up.
In addition, a new Fox News poll has Cruz virtually tied with Trump nationally,
within the margin-for-error... how bout that:

You’re giving up Rush just because he won’t endorse Trump?

Cruz has disavowed this ad. Do your homework.

You’re welcome. I’ll be honest. Having read your posts for a while now, I have to say you analyse polls and data far better than I ever will. I’ll just have to hope you can get to the bottom of that excellent question. It would be fascinating to see it unpacked.

“Cruz has disavowed this ad.”

Intersting. I was on the forum all day yesterday, and never saw a single mention of it.

Did his disavowal make the news, or did he tell you that personally?

The Heidib**ch is a Goldman Sachs top executive shill and her husband the Canadian presidential wannabe senator is a cuckold to his wife’s employer. She has already instructed him as to what he needs to shut up about, and do, to win the nomination and so she can keep that astronomical salary she’s getting from GS. Great presidential material isn’t he? The GS Wall Street globalists have given the starred couple their orders. What the hell is all this coronation and beatification of Heidi about, she is neither a queen nor a saint, yet to listen to the media and some of you she is the second coming. And Trump did not “threaten” her, in any way shape or form. Yes that played in the street perfectly—like he bodily threatened her or something —didn’t it? That was the lying twisted media’s intent when they came out with that one-liner—”Trump threatens Cruz’s wife!!!!!”. It was supermarket tabloid journalism worthy of the National Enquirer. What he said was he would simply “spill the beans”. That is NOT a bodily threat, it is the truth about her nefarious Wall Street nexus. There are a lot of beans to be spilled. And Trump is not stupid. He KNOWS what’s up with her and her Goldman Sachs connection. Why hasn’t she resigned or at least taken a sabbatical? They’ve done absolutely nothing about the status quo. If Cruz is so above board why hasn’t she tried to avoid even the appearance of impropriety? Her husband is running for president for chrissakes! Idiots all of you!

If I recall, wasn’t there the reply, “when’s the national primary,” when pro-Trump posters touted national polls earlier in the cycle that showed Trump doing well?

You are right in that since the majority of states have made their preference known, a national poll for the primary season is less valuable. Upcoming state polls are what to focus on.

Now if the methodology of this poll is sound, then it is better news for Cruz, but we’ll find out the actual results soon enough.

Everyone who doesn't endorse Trump goes under the bus, regardless of their conservative credentials.

Don’t tell me we could still end up with the preachy condescending lawyer?

If Cruz gets the nomination, I'm staying home. It'll be the very first election at any level (municipal, county, state, federal) since I've been able to vote that I'll do so.

I'm that disgusted by the Cruz campaign's back-room collaboration releasing nude pictures of Melania Trump.

There's zero doubt in my mind Cruz and/or his campaign was in on it. He's a slimy, fake, fraud POS.

What was that Cruz said the other day? "Accountability begins at the top of the campaign?" Holding you accountable, Ted!!!!

“would you vote for Cruz in November?”

I will not be party to the further destruction of our safeguard to the highest office in the nation, the natural born clause. Obama is not a natural born citizen and neither is Cruz. Two in a row would be the final nail in the natural born clause coffin and frankly I am surprised how many here are willing to drive that nail.

Ok, I know how this works. I post a link that shows a Cruz interview where he totally disavows the Melania ad. You ignore the ad and call me a Cruzer loser. You continue in your willful ignorance.

But, just in case, here is the link:

Why is not posting your own blog a vanity post?

He has serious issues. A petty little man with tiny hands who must be doing drugs when he tweets this drivel. How embarrassing and sickening.
Thanks for your reasoned post.

She knows how to say I will pose nude for money in 5 languages.

First off you are serial blog pimp. Never in in billion years will I go to your dopey blog. Why must you fling your poop everywhere? The gloves are off. I have never critized Cruz supporters. For you I will make an exception. I have been here 16 years. You putz. You think this Canadian is the second coming. Deal w it. Rafael Eduardo Cruz will never be president.

Yes. Most of us were Trump/Cruz advocates until he pulled those sleazy stunts in Iowa, hired Beck, Bush, Romney.

For one thing, you are a liar, like Lyin’ Ted.

Trump never attacked Cruz’s wife.
But a PAC supporting Cruz did attack Trumps wife.
