My friends in DC think Cruz is toxic.

That's kinda what I drew from a talk by a Republican inside-the-beltway "expert" this week. I don't think he's "toxic" and I hope that he has a long career in Republican party politics -- but I'm not convinced he's electable in 2016.

Speaking of "toxic", one poll (Republican) http://www.conservativeintel.com/1030-conservative-intel-poll-of-scsen-and-fits-primary-2016/# has Christie leading.

Among Republican primary voters. In South Carolina. Amazing.

I wouldn’t feel the least bit discouraged at that poll. Christie leads Cruz by 2% in a poll with a 3.77% swing. Christie has been on the seen for 4 or more years and a year ago no one outside of we Texans had any idea who Ted Cruz was. Add to that the fact Christie is imploding and it looks pretty good for Cruz....of course polls this early are worthless!!!

You’re not convinced Cruz is electable, and you post a poll that shows Tub-o-$hit Christie leading?

Do various colored paint chips have different flavors?

Well, we know that squishy RINOs aren't electable. Nominating another squish isn't going to work. Let's try something different next time!

They said the same things about Reagan, look how that turned out.

In truth, the only ones unelectable are those we are being told by the so-called experts that are most electable.

Mitt Romney, John McCain, Rudy Guiliani, etc. should provide you with a good pattern as to who is not electable.

I'll give you another hint: those that moderate, or water-down, the conservative message, those who think they can (and need to) compromise with the left are the ones who are MOST UNELECTABLE.
