No but Trump will. There is no way blue collar Whites and Reagan Democrats will back Cruz.

It’s hilarious to watch how shocked and appalled the country club wing of the GOP is at the idea that they, for once, might have to do the compromising.

This is a media lie.
There is no statistically significant difference between the candidates RE support of the college-educated.

It’s a simple lie, repeated over and over.

But what about those college-educated Republicans who do favor free trade and "entitlement reform" and maybe guest-worker status for undocumented immigrants so as to make sure the gardens get tended and the meals cooked?

These are loathsome people who should be decimated, ignored, and replaced with a new base of support.

This "free trade" conservatism is unpatriotic, utterly un-American, because it puts their ideology before American interests.

M2T here he comes again....LOLOL....

I will say, several of my friends, who are not very political love Trump. But when I ask them about Cruz, they comment taht he’s “weird” and “strange” looking. That’s that. Small sample.

But I don’t think Cruz picks up the Trump voters as easy as the experts think. Trump is a unique animal.

[TBP]

Yes, I think so.

[CPT Clay]

Yep

[grey_whiskers]

Trump already did.

The only ones squawking are the "pink collar" and "rainbow collar" and the actual Soviet and Democrat (but I repeat myself) moles.

[CodeToad]

Blue-collar are not intellectual, Cruz is. He doesn’t resonate with them.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

“blue collar” doesn’t mean “unions” any more, it means “taxpayers.”

[jpsb]

No, he supported the legislation, TPA, that enable the job killing TPP plus two other super secret “trade” deals. He is on record for wanting to increase legal immigration and greatly increasing H1B visas. He is also wobbly on illegal immigration. Ted Cruz is not a friend of American working class voters. In fact he looks an awful lot like a globalist. However he would be better then anyone running other than Trump and vastly better than she who shall not be named.

[Sybeck1]

Didn’t I read somewhere, Cruz is polling 25% with blacks or something like that?

[moehoward]

Were these blue collar voters as dumb and uneducated when Obama was courting them 7 years ago?

Maybe the common folks are drawn to Trump not because they are ignorant, but because they’ve been getting screwed for decades.

Cruz rally threads do good to get 20 posts on FR. Geesh
