CRUZ or LOSE!Posted on 02/09/2015 4:59:54 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Kick Butt Senator.” Cruz or lose”. No mercy on these rino weaklings!!
Cruz to VICTORY!
Cruz/Walker 2016.
Cruz needs to appeal to the Elizabeth Warren voters. They claim to object to crony capitalism, and Cruz will work to end that cozy but corrupt relationship. They claim to care about union workers and the unemployed, and Cruz can help both groups. The question is: Can Cruz articulate why conservatism is good for all honest people, and can he use that narrative to appeal to even a tenth of Romney’s casually dismissed “47%”.
Wow. Well, there you have it. Rare for them to be so frank.
an ImpreMedia/Latino Decisions poll the day before the election showed only 35 percent of self-identified Latinos supported Cruz -- only six points better than the 29 percent GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney received among Latinos in Texas. He also only got 26 percent support among naturalized citizens and 26 percent of the Spanish-speaking vote in Texas.
I agree with you. If he takes 35% of the hispanic vote he walks away with it.
He’s already working on it, and it’s driving the Left nuts:
Insane, Lying Ted Cruz Insists That Democrats are The One Percent Party

So how them moderate RINO's been working out come election time?? Or is that the point, that you want the GOPe to continue nominating doomed leftist pussies whose only stomach for a fight is with conservatives, so R's can keep losing? (Not you, 2DV)
We don’t even need to appeal to moderates to win, we can win simply by nominating a candidate that energizes the base and drives up our turnout.
IIRC, I read that he actually won about 40%. Comme ci comme ça.
The Cruzer got 130,000 fewer votes than the unloved Mitt from Mass in Texas. He needs to work on the outpouring of Latino love.
Oh noes!
A captive Chamber Of Amnesty publication is worried Jeb might not get nominated.
CRUZ or LOSE!Wishful dreaming by the GOP-E Chamber of Commerce Traitors!
It was 40, the threshold, and all Cruz has to say is ‘Yeah, I’m a freshman Senator, and I need you to help me repeal, rollback, defund, destroy all the things that *other* one-term Senator has done.’
The UNIPARTY scum are in for a rude awakening.
Curious.
Not long ago, there were similar article about Jeb, with an almost opposite conjecture:
Jeb’s weaknesses for the primaries are his stremgths for the general election.
Reagan had exactly the SAME PROBLEM.
He was LOVED during the Primaries, but so EXTREME that he could never win in November...
Yeah, I dreamed the part where I worked for him.
Thank you for saying it. Reagan did have the same problem and I suspect that the results will be the similar. They keep saying that conservative principles only win in primaries but lose general elections. We have absolutely no proof of that. In fact, we have proof of the opposite. The more conservative the candidate or at least the more conservative people felt the candidate was, the better the showing in the general election.
George W. Bush did not run as liberal George Bush the Elder II. He ran as a “compassionate” conservative. He won because he was perceived to be conservative. Reagan, who actually was conservative, won by large margins, twice. Liberal George Bush the Elder won the first time because people believed he would continue Reagan’s conservative principles. He lost the second election when people realized just how liberal he was.
Every time a liberal republican has run for office since, they have lost. Dole, McCain, Romney — moderate and liberals lose. Yet, the liberals (GOPe, Dems and their minions) keep making the claim that conservatives can’t win the general election.
