Ted Cruz Says Donald Trump's Voters Have "relatively low information" And Are "not that engaged"
The Brody File ^ | 3/10/2016 | David Brody

Posted on 03/10/2016 5:22:05 AM PST by joesbucks

GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz tells The Brody File that the reason Donald Trump is performing well in the GOP race for president is because his voters are uninformed and not engaged in the process. “Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice.

Who’s the one coordinating with them, and which guy are they looking to back to stop Trump?

You guys are going to have to work extra hard to cover it up over the next few weeks, that’s for sure.

Ol Ted ran a good scam for a bit, convincing a lot of people that he wasn’t just another GOPe hack. But in the end he’ll take his orders from the IMF.

That’s as condescending as Cruz’s statement.

So far this election cycle I have not been critical of Cruz, however, that is about to change.

Cruz, like other GOPe’s,think they know the American people.
They think they are so much more intelligent and above their constituents.

Politicians like Cruz have never worked a blue collar job to support their families, or know the struggles many Americans have making a living for themselves.

They just don’t get it. As Trump said at one of his rallies,”you don’t even need to be a high school graduate to see what is going on in this country is wrong.”

Further proof that Cruz doesn’t have a clue. It’s the uni-party, stupid. Kill it once and for all.

They intellectually know of his liberal past, but don’t care because they connect with the angry meme of his campaign and is political incorrectness.

Yep it happens every election. Promises are made and people chose. Liberal past or GOPe present. Make America Great or Low information.

Heidi Cruz tries to rebuild bridges her husband burned on path to White House

Reuters, December 15, 2015

Heidi Cruz, a Harvard Business School graduate and former Bush administration official, has emerged as a central figure in her husband’s campaign, charming on-the-fence donors while acting as a bridge to the Republican establishment.

(snip)

At this stage, Cruz is not tapping her network of Wall Street contacts, nor is she trying to bring around her former colleagues in the Bush administration, where she worked as an aide to then-U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick before joining the staff of the White House National Security Council.

“They know my phone number,” she said. “And when they’re ready, they will call. I’m not going to go twist their arm. And when they come, we will welcome them with open arms.”

It was only a matter of time until Cruz's Inner Worm emerged full-blown for the world to see.

He makes my skin crawl.

The Democrats and their close associates in the GOPe are terrified of Trump. They've made fools of themselves trying to bring him down. It looks like the plan is to elevate Cruz, maybe Kasich too, to keep Trump from getting the nomination. Then they'll nominate someone who'll get pilloried in the media to the point that only republican voters will vote for the republican candidate in the general election. Trump's already ready weathered being called a racist hitler-esque KKK associate - their running out of material but they'll gleefully re-use it if someone else gets the nomination (they'll probably sue to make Cruz prove he's a natural born). The Democrats and the GOPe do not want Trump in a debate with Hillary: Trump may actually press the issue about Hillary's involvement in the regime change in Libya, her missteps in the attack the U.S. embassy in Benghazi (also Libya), and her callous, cynical, and manipulative response to the embassy attack.

"how many times is this story going to be posted?"

As many times as it needs to be. You know, we the uneducated in the Trump camp may have to read something multiple times before we get it. We're not all brilliant Harvard lawyers with photographic memories.

Bad move, Ted. Insulting a major portion of the GOP base isn’t going to play well.

I think there is also a strong “choose to ignore” aspect in those who follow Trump. They intellectually know of his liberal past, but don’t care because they connect with the angry meme of his campaign and is political incorrectness.
==
Perhaps, but I suspect they have correctly surmised he is the only candidate that can beat Hillary and make real changes. Fantasy match ups of Clinton vs. whoever are meaningless, just propaganda by fearful leftist media.

At this point in the race, an R victory is really dependent on what Cruz does with his second place delegates. He can’t pass Trump in delegate count, not enough Cruz states left, any shenanigans at convention, as in not awarding the leader with the nomination, will of course give Hillary the win

Add all that to the fact that the Bushes are now part of the Cruz team. Cruz is a fraud that is not even eligible to run for president.

STILL don’t think he’s GOPe. but I am losing heart.

what’s with the bush meeting??

I THINK he is a man that wants to be president so badly that he may be giving up his integrity in pieces along the way.

‘24 is around the corner the way life works.

saddens me.

Look folks.......Ted Cruz is just a cute tool of the GOP Establishment, Mitt Romney & Jeb Bush. Cruz ranting back to Romney & Bush is just a cute coverup for them all being one. But........worse then that, Cruz has not one single iota of personality, charm and charisma...at all!!! I scent an evil, envy, strain in him very similar to Mitt Romney, John McCain, Jeb Bush, etc. Cruz is hateful & vindicative, and to me, those are not laudable POTUS qualities!!! Do what you will......but, do not say you were not warned of this evil, wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing!!! This power hungry, gent, Cruz, will stop at nothing, legal or illegal to gain his goals and fortune!!! Simply, GO DONALD J. TRUMP!!!

Give me a break...

How about the strings attached with Trump: Reid... Pelosi... Clinton... McConnell... Need I go on?

He is more in bed than Cruz EVER was with them.
Ever.

Hence the GOPe’s conflict: screw over the party and destroy it by electing a baby killing supporter, gay marriage supporter, land grabbing supporter, UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE SUPPORTER... who happens to be heavily involved in the money for favors game of Washington...

Or electing a constitutional conservative whom will restore our country to where it should be... and put them squarely on notice.

Their choice is simple: destroy the party or destroy liberalism.

If we believe the Brody report

If you go to the source, there is a video of Cruz saying exactly what is reported here.
