Yep. But it does not account for how far left voters have moved in last decade. As painful as it is to accept a pure conservative cannot win, to polarized with everyone left of hard core conservatives. Maybe world war will break out, then Cruz might win. Cruz is doing 4% and evangelicals are not going to carry him to victory. If I am proved wrong. great!
No, you’re right: there are too few conservatives to win much of anything.
Oh BS.
Tell me the last time that conservatism....REAL conservatism was actually a choice in a Presidential Election and lost? (Other than the over-cited 1964 contest)
In 2008 and 2012 the Republican candidate was not a conservative.
When an articulate conservative gets up and communicates to the people real ideas and platforms that offer a stark contrast to the other side, it makes a heck of a difference. At the Presidential level, you have to get people to vote “for you” and not just “against the other guy”. 2012 proved that. Animosity over Obozo was not enough to push Romney across the finish line. And so did 2004 when Bush derangement syndrome was enough to push John F*ing Kerry over either.
If Ted Cruz is the nominee, I guarantee you he will not only win, but win in a landslide as he carries every battleground state that’s important. And I know this because I can already see the campaign he’s running now. I know how he’ll connect with voters, bypass the media, and get more “moderates” and “Democrats” to vote for him than any number Jebbers could get because Cruz will earn something from them that the Hilderbeast will not, their trust. And no amount of money can buy trust.
And by some chance if Cruz loses, then this whole exercise is moot anyway because the country will be lost.
Meanwhile, the fanaticism with Trump needs to stop. So he made a couple of obvious statements, so what? The guy’s a liberal. He will push for amnesty, won’t battle Bohner/McConnell, won’t fight to repeal Obamacare, won’t do anything about an out of control court, and would be relegated to “Scott Brown” status less than a year after he took office.
In a race where Cruz and Trump are both on the ballot and one chooses to vote for Trump, that is a wasted vote.
Once the debates start it will be obvious who the real Presidential contender is and it isn’t Trump.
President Cruz cures the blues.
>> Cruz is doing 4% and evangelicals are not going to carry him to victory <<
Agreed. And speaking of evangelicals, I gotta wonder how they react to a man who is famous for casinos, who brags about manipulating the bankruptcy laws, who hints that he has bribed many politicians, who has been married three times, whose current wife is a former nude model, who jokes about eating “crackers” at communion, who proudly uses locker room language in public and who displays a general lack of good manners? Inquiring minds want to know.
>> If I am proved wrong. great! <<
About Cruz? Agreed there also!
