Ted Cruz could actually be the Republican nominee for president
The Washington Post's Plum Line ^ | November 24, 2015 | Paul Waldman

Momentum in primary campaigns is a mysterious thing: impossible to manufacture, easily squandered, and often misidentified. But there’s little doubt that at the moment, with two months before the Iowa caucuses — a period that will fly right by, I promise you — Ted Cruz has it.

In that critical first contest, Cruz has leaped toward the front in two new polls: he’s essentially tied with Donald Trump in the latest Quinnipiac poll (Trump has 25 percent, Cruz has 23), and in a CBS poll released yesterday he’s in second place. If voters are ending their fascination with Ben Carson, Cruz is the natural recipient of Carson’s votes, which come primarily from evangelicals, whom Cruz has been courting assiduously for some time...

Oh, come now.

This is a straight up article about Cruz from an opposition source (Washington ComPost). It’s a legitimate post irrespective of Trump.

Eyes roll! Whp are these “they” you are talking about? Cruz has been working very hard for over 6 months, patiently building up his campaign, his ground game, endorsements, working the caucus voters and doing everything it takes to win and is finally reaping the rewards of his hard work, and you think this is all about “they” trying to bring Trump down?
You crazy, fanatical Trumpbots just crack me up.
