Yes Ted is, along with self proclaimed conservatives Jeb, Neil Bush, and Lindsey Graham etc..., all who have recently become enamored with Ted Cruz.
Don’t forget other Cruz endorsers like Meghan McCain and Caitlyn/Bruce Jenner.
Last I checked, the US is pretty evenly divided politically. If we're going to get serious about winning somebody damned well better start caring.
Trump’s unfavorable rating in the ABC News/Washington Post poll is minus-67 — the worst ever recorded for a domestic political figure in the poll’s history. And that’s after months of the best, most extensive media coverage he could’ve ever hoped for.________________________________________
Nah, it’s actually a pretty easy answer, but the pollsters haven’t adjusted their formulas yet.
As this article points out, Cruz gets a surge of election day deciders (may not be a literal “day of”, but people who choose in the last couple of days.) Couple this with the fact that the polls are very accurate when it comes to Trump’s support and you can make a strong case that the last minute deciders have already decided not to vote for Trump, and they are trying to figure out who they can vote for besides Trump. They tend to fall Cruz’s way (except for Virginia where both Kasich and Rubio surged way above expectations.)
The second reason, my speculation and very little way to prove, is that there is a reverse Bradley effect for Cruz. Because he has been pilloried in the public by the press, the GOP establishment, and his fellow candidates, many people may feel uncomfortable sharing that they are voting for Cruz, including telling pollsters. So they either say they are undecided (re-enforcing the first point) or they just lie and say one of the other candidates.
funny it is working for others.
Try this
or this.
how many more links do you need to show he said this?
“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
- Ted Cruz, New Hampshire stump speech
Just copy and paste the statement and then put it in a search engine.
Let me know now if you still think he would not say such a thing?
yet he is winning LOL
Our local radio talking heads here in Dallas are gaga over Cruz. Really pushing for Trump and Cruz to kiss and make up plus yapping about Rubio fitting into a VP position. They talk like Cruz is in the lead with the Rube right behind. Trump who?
With Idaho at +32 for Romney in Nov 2012, it’s hardly worth any campaign money.
As always, the Nov 2016 fight will come down to Florida and Ohio.
Perhaps Virginia, but that’s gone pretty blue due to the DC gravy train.
Here there you go, Now do you believe he said such a thing?
It does not sound like Ted Cruz. He is usually elegant and clear in his speaking.
That quote does not make sense and is not in line with anything else he’s ever said.
My guess is it is something grabbed out of context to try and make Ted Cruz look bad in some way.
No, but I'm sure there's a lot of good people there that at least deserve simple respect. What's that cost?
Who would that be, bonfire? Mark Davis?
so now it is taken out of context, seriously.
I have given you links for different sources with the exact quote, did all the media outlets say lets say the same thing and take it out of context?
Come on altura, we have a different guy , and I don’t expect you to suddenly start giving money to Trump, but to deny this too, come on you are way better than this.
“....poll shows then beating Trump but don’t let the facts.... “
Poll = fact?
There is considerable statistical variance in Polls, less so with facts.
What does that quote even mean?
It doesn’t make sense.
Keep on giving to the
Okay, since it means so much to you, I will go back and look at it.
Off to bed soon so good night
“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
- Ted Cruz, New Hampshire stump speech
Okay. What does this say to you? I can’t make any sense out of it. Who are ‘other members of the establishment?’
Sorry. It makes no sense at all. Is he saying that if you support Trump you are telling conservatives who you stand for?
Have we really spent all the time on this?
Can we just call it a day?
“Trump wins in open primary where independents and even Democrats can vote for him....”
In open primary states Democrats can vote for the weakest Republican candidate. Ever think of that?
It’s a “fact” that vitually all the polls show Trump getting beat by Clinton/Sanders.
Understand Einstein?
