Geez, Cruz is losing it: his lies don’t even jive with basic mathematical reality anymore: Cruz is claiming Trump was pro-choice when Trump was nine years old. Given the ridiculousness of this lie, how can ANYBODY possibly believe it? Still, I notice on the politico.com article reporting this that they show a picture of Glenn Beck on stage, so possibly that partially explains the foolishness of the lie. Hard to tell though.
Nonetheless, clearly Cruz’s internal polling is telling him that he’s up against the ropes and how he’s simply flailing and throwing wild haymakers in every direction. However, it’s understandable why Cruz is panicking: if Cruz doesn’t come in a strong 2nd in S.C., his campaign is effectively finished (though he’ll probably limp along quite a while longer with the rest of the loser pack.)
Clearly his polling is telling him something quite different. I bet the internal polling shows him closing in.
