Could you please remind us the last time Ted had 81% in the poll?
Go Cruz!
I love it when conservative candidates win!
An I love it when pretenders get aced out numerically by 04/19.
All Trump’s ducks are now in a row.
Bye bye sCruz (loose).
“I love it when conservative candidates win!”
We all do, so why are you cheering for Cruz? He’s not remotely conservative.
Cruz is pro life.
Cruz is pro free trade
Cruz shut down the federal govt
Cruz opposed the Libya intervention
Cruz supports and won cases for religious liberty such as the Ten Commandments case.
Cruz defends American sovereignty as he did at the Supreme Court by upholding the prosecution of an illegal immigrant murderer.
Cruz has Texas values.
Cruz is winning because he is conservative. That is why the most conservative voters prefer him.
...must have missed something.

...Illegal Immigration???
“Cruz is winning”
Winning what? He’s been running a distant second in the presidential primary since South Carolina.
The reason he’s losing is because most conservatives see right through the phony, and prefer Trump, who’s a real leader with the right solutions for America.
What does Jose Medellin have to say about cruz’s illegal immigration position?
Conservatives like Cruz.
Liberals like trump.
My devotion to Cruz is based on his lifetime of works supporting true Constitutional and Conservative causes...
my main cautions about Trump are that his entire campaign could simply be using Conservatives, exactly the same was as the GOP and RNC have done, to get elected and then turn his back once in office... plus the worries about starting a habit of electing the rich, or the TV celebrity set... plus the concern that he admires Obama's "phone and a pen" method, which would give us up to 16 years of Presidential works without regard for the Constitution of Separation of Powers, and an entire generation of folks will not even expect anything different... and the final concern that Trump doesn't poll as well as Cruz when going head-to-head against Hillary, and that Trump rarely does as well as the polls indicate in most of the 35 states so far.
I'll vote for Trump if he is the nominee, and I'll drive to Cleveland to yell and march if the GOP fails to nominate either one at the Convention... but my heart is still with Cruz, despite the many disagreements I have had with his campaign strategies so far.
Since NOV, some (including myself) have speculated that Trump has a ceiling of about 48%... and nothing has disproved this theory yet. He has not had more than 47% of the delegates, nor more than 49.3% of the vote in any state... and that 49.3 was in MASS, where he will never beat Hillary.
“My devotion to Cruz is based on his lifetime of works supporting true Constitutional and Conservative causes.”
Cruz has given a lot of lip service to conservatism and conservative causes, but in his tenure as a public servant, he’s done little to actually demonstrate any such fealty to our shared American ideals.
The proof is in the pudding, as Granny used to say.
Trump has all the right enemies.
Cruz has all the wrong friends.
