I see.

Either your memory really is bad, or possibly the idea of not remembering how Reagan's negatives as an "extremist" a "warmonger" and a "stupid B grade actor" weren't the reason for his bad polling is a thing you want to avoid on this forum.

I understand. I think most here understand why you would want to avoid that subject.

Slate is a leftist rag. Even RT (pravda) isn’t nearly as far left as those commies/demokkkrats are.

You opened the subject of comparing Reagan's numbers to Trump's. Rather than an attempt to avoid the subject, I said it should be further explored and I asked about the nature of the numbers.

You countered with conclusionary language but with no numbers. You brought the comparison up, the burden is on you to supply the numbers. I await your supplying those numbers.

Until then it's all BS.

you forget the stark fact that Cruz cannot beat Hillary - not now, not tomorrow, not next year. And he’d get slaughtered up against Birdy Bernie. Can you imagine, after a 3 day absence, Cruz tweeting against Hillary - mental eval - release! as he did to Trump? Hillary eats lawyers for lunch.

OMG! Slant.com is hawking that headline based on the Marquette poll, which only had 437 respondents and a huge 5.8% MOE?

And they're not discussing the other new (Optimus) poll with over 6000 respondents and only a 1.14% MOE, which had Donald Trump ahead of Ted Cruz by 4%, a lead which is outside the MOE?

What a bunch of clumsy spin!

Realistically and objectively, I'd rate the state as closer to a tossup myself, but Salon apparently has a propaganda campaign to push (along with 2DV)...

If I had a one dollar bill for every time I’ve been accused here of “slanting” stories for Cruz, or better yet, being paid by his campaign, there’d be a new car in my driveway.

What lawyer has ever been eaten for lunch by Mrs. Clinton? The one who fired her from the Watergate committee without a letter of recommendation? The ones who threw HillaryCare on the ash heap of history? The ones about to throw her in prison?

If you had one dollar for every time you actually did post slanted stories for Cruz, there'd be two new cars in your driveway...

Your “slanted” is my factual & well-written.

Trump is literally the only candidate that makes Hillary electable.

Cruz is an idiot, he’s a stooge of the EStablishment. Establishment leak story to National Enquirer to make Cruz angry at Trump and make it personal, so he will remain in the race to deny Trump the win. AT the convention, Cruz won’t be picked

Hip Hip Hooray, the anti-American globalists win! We had one chance to keep our constitutional republic and we blew it. Thank you Canadian Ted, long live the North American Union. Press 1 for English is here to stay. You Cruzers are the dumbest people on the face of the Earth.

The GOPe will not kill the Republican party at the convention by denying Trump and then just hand the nomination to Cruz— not in a million years. The GOPe knows that going to a contested convention will let insiders keep their perks and privileges, but they are also aware that, for all intents and purposes, the Republican party as a viable political entity will be over for the foreseeable future. They are willing to blow up the party, but they will not then give the Presidency, the big prize, to that upstart from Texas that they all loathe. They are using Cruz, period. When his usefulness to the party is over, they will discard him. Anybody who thinks that Cruz has the slightest chance to be President is kidding themselves. It will be Trump or it will be a GOPe stooge, period.

Hate to say it, but I agree completely with you.

The Cruz gang is in la-la land. There will not be a Cruz administration.

If Cruz manages to screw things up for Trump, he will screw things up for everyone except of course the GOP establishment, who is cheering him on big time.

Cruz needs to wake up, get with it and stand down.

He can run again. He is young, and inspired, and has a pretty good amount of support.

But he’s not going to be president this time around.

That is not happening. Period.
