Among the two candidates whose results look at all like those of an eventual GOP presidential nominee, polling suggests that Ted Cruz would do significantly better than Donald Trump in the general election. According to the Real Clear Politics average of recent polls, Cruz would fare 5 points better versus Hillary Clinton than Trump would.
Polling has consistently shown Cruz to have an advantage over Trump in this regard: Fox News found that Cruz would fare 4 points better than Trump, beating Clinton by 7 points (50 to 43 percent) to Trump's 3 (47 to 44 percent). NBC News and the Wall Street Journal found that Cruz would fare 6 points better than Trump, losing to Clinton by 4 points (49 to 45 percent) to Trump's 10 (51 to 41 percent). And Quinnipiac found that Cruz would fare 5 points better than Trump, tying Clinton (at 45 percent apiece) while Trump would lose by 5 points (46 to 41 percent).
In all, RCP's average finds that Cruz would beat Clinton by 1 point (47 to 46 percent), while Trump would lose by 4 points (47 to 43 percent).
Stuck with Roberts? I guess GWB had no say in any of it-huh? Please, all you Cruzbots and Cruz do is make excuses. It gets old really quick.
The second Trump drops out, Weekly Standard will shift their attacks to Cruz.
He was sincere in wanting the amendments to pass, because he knew they would poison the bill. Democrats wanted nothing less than citizenship and this strategy exposed it.
Jeff Sessions used the same kinds of parliamentary measures and he has explained the strategy that he and Cruz used several times.
Those people were coming to a rock concert and Obama showed up for a while. I also think they were given free beer.

I’ll betCruz wishes he was this unpopular.
On what planet?
Can’t you just tell me! I hate opening links :)
my new laptop is already a mess from opening up links.
The Rinos would have a brokered convention and block Cruz.
Even Trump with much greater 40 percent support faces a brokered convention if he doesn’t have all the votes needed.
Only thing is that Trump if Screwed over will start a new real Conservative Nationalistic party and the present bought and paid for lobbyist GOP E party will go the way of the WHIG party.
The photo was captioned at the source as a campaign photo. Nothing was said about any other event.
You are making his point for him - GWB had ALL of the say, not Cruz.
Did you support John Roberts?
Can you name one conservative icon that, at the time of his nomination, did not support John Roberts?
Nope, I had nothing to do with it. I didn’t get a vote, did you?
His business isn’t worth anywhere near 10B and he quit building over a decade ago. Now he foots only a portion and slaps his name on his garbage because he isn’t worth the risk. A real valuation would expose that he isn’t even a top tier developer in New York.
This isn’t true. Murdoch and company bs.
As bad a campaigner as hillary is Trump will make her look brilliant. Trump won't be able to control himself and will make ugly remarks about hillary's looks, or intelligence, and she will be off and running playing the "victim". The media will eat it up and the mushy middle will be manipulated into feeling sympathy for her. On top of that, once Trump starts attacking hillary about bill's lack of character and her failure to deal with it the Rats are going to start pointing out all his affairs with married women and the ugly things said in his divorce proceedings.
If Trump started such a party it would give him a lot of credibility towards his conservative comments
i would be happy with that.
and a little nationalism isn’t such a bad thing.
This can’t be true!
Whoever did the poll is obviously been paid by the GOP-E!
Normal Rabid-Trump supporter response.
In before ... absolutely nothing...
