Its safe to say each of the CNN Town Halls this week painted the remaining Republican presidential candidates in a positive light and thats a good thing for those of us who see the number one priority as the need to defeat Hillary Clinton (or Bernie Sanders) in November.
Instead of #NeverTrump, we were reminded that #NeverHillary is a much more important objective than the need to settle scores, even if theres good reason to carry grudges in the first place.
Ted CruzAnd while its somewhat likely the Republican candidates favorability ratings could get a boost courtesy of CNNs idea to let each of the candidates appear with their attractive families in separate segments on different nights, it turns out theyll need the help big time.
Nick Gass of Politico reports on another new poll showing that Americans really arent wild about the GOP contenders. Donald Trump is the most unpopular top-tier presidential candidate over more than three decades of ABC News/Washington Post polls, except for former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. That's according to the results of the latest national ratings released Thursday
Two in three Americans surveyed in the poll 67 percent said they held an unfavorable view of Trump, while just 31 percent said they saw him favorably and only 2 percent said they had no opinion of him. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's favorability rating was marginally higher, at 36 percent, while 53 percent said they had an unfavorable view of him and 11 percent said they had no opinion. Ohio Gov. John Kasich made out the best in the poll, with 39 percent each responding that they had a favorable and unfavorable opinion of him, but 22 percent said they had no opinion either way.(continued)

Nice take......notice that Cruz takes several positions on each issue. Then he emerges from the woodwork spouting the position that he thinks will benefit him.
Cruz/s political blunders pile up ... one disaster after another. But there are similarities: Cruz is looking more and more like the late unlamented prez candidate, ex-Texas Gov Rick Perry---two stealth candidates trusting Texans hardly knew.
At first, Cruz (like Perry) looked good....prez material, even. Then candidate Cruz (like Perry) began admitting things that trusting Texans knew nothing about.
Gov Perry shocked his constituents when he admitted in a presidential debate that he was using trusting Texans tax dollars to give illegals in-state tuition...and that they were heartless b/c they did not like this use of tax dollars. (Perry also installed the country's first Sharia Court in Texas....active to this day).
Cruz heaped on the surprises:
<><> I didn't know I was a Canadian citizen when I ran for the Senate until the media exposed it.
<><> I told trusting Texas voters wifey and I were liquidating family assets so I could get into the Senate.
<><> I didn/t know I was supposed to tell the FEC I borrowed over a million from my Wall Street margin accounts to fund my campaign.
<><> I told Mark Levin the borrowed funds were used for campaign ads....but I didn/t report this as required.
<><> And so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
============================================
BACKSTORY In Texas, Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.
He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
NOW TRUSTING TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from trusting Texans).
Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from trusting Texans.
At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn't know.
When the Dallas Morning News published Cruz/s Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put trusting Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at the time of his birth.
=============================================
Nowadays, these onetime Cruz supporters in Texas are airing their gripes----many are p!ssed at Cruz for not disclosing that as a Senate candidate, he was still a Canadian citizen. And is now expecting the whole country to rationalize that he's a NBC and eligible for the office......
BTW, Cruz got clobbered a long time ago...he just hasn't hit the floor, yet.
Been a big fan of Cruz ever since he started running. Huge.
You’re right.
They know Donald, not PC crippled and knowing all the dirt on her, will SLAUGHTER the criminal witch.
They also know Cruz, the slimy CANADIAN lawyer, with his voting record, history of lying, dirty tricks and extreme unlikeability will be made a laughing stock and ripped to shreds.
>> Great. He thumps the Bible.
He didn’t “thump the Bible”.
I brought it up.
And he knew it, back to front.
He spoke with conviction and humility.
He’s the real deal.
You keep telling yourself that. Ted Cruz could tell me his name and I wouldn’t believe him.
I have met Ted personally, looked him in the eye, talked politics and Bible with him, which strengthened my belief that he walks the Christian Conservative walk.

Ted Cruz is a member of a bizarre religious cult.
His preacher father, who once fought along side Castro, has stated that his son was anointed to distribute the wealth,(?!)
and his preacher father welcomed a radical to speak in his ‘church’ about KILLING HOMOSEXUALS (!)Advocating Killing ANYone is not Christian. (Google it all)
With Cruz’ voting record, Senate attendance record, membership in a bizarre religious cult, lack of experience/
credentials/accomplishments, history of lying and dirty tricks plus his EXTREME DISLIKE by almost all who know him, will be made a laughing stock by the witch and the rats.
They will DESTROY him.
Donald, not being PC crippled like all the rest, (which he has proven time and again) and knowing all the dirt on the witch, will SLAUGHTER her.
Donald, with a history of brilliantly running his businesses, CAN run this country. He will surround himself with brilliant cabinet members and advisors as only he could do.
SO- he once proclaimed himself a Democrat. So did Reagan.
Donald WILL secure our open borders and investigate/deport the dangerous muslim colonists Obama has imported by the thousands.
OUR LONGED FOR REVOLUTION AGAINST THE CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION, CORRUPT VOTING SYSTEM AND CORRUPT POLITICIANS IS HERE AND IS BEING LED BY DONALD.
He hears WE The People and shares our anger and concern.
He is ‘owned’ by no one.
He is one of us..billions be d^mned.
He is our voice.
WE MUST NOT LET HIM DOWN.

Sorry for the double post. I clicked and nothing happened, so I clicked again. Sorry
Interesting comment, considering what follows in your post -- which you posted twice, by the way:

Viva Il Duce! You, FRiend, are a member of a bizarre secular cult!
>> Sorry for the double post.
You are forgiven, my son. The Donald LOVES such fiery, impassioned worship from his adoring masses! Twice, three times, five times... all good.
sorry...the truth hurts, doesn’t it. Cruzbot should know the truth.
>> the truth hurts, doesnt it.
No. I know the Truth, and the Truth sets me free!
So you are for a Canadian running for president but against someone posting from India? And yes I know, your earlier position on birthright citizenship is completely at odds with your current one.
I like your FR Name. I assume it is a play on the Florida rumor that they thought Cruz was the Zodiac Killer.
