The past week was a very good one for Ted Cruz in South Carolina, as he swept the straw polls at four bi-annual Republican county conventions, and one county GOP Executive Committee bi-monthly meeting.

The first came as Cruz won the Anderson County GOP convention straw poll as follows: Cruz 27%, Walker 25%, Rubio 15%, Huckabee 9%, Graham and Perry 6% each, Santorum 5%, Bush, Paul and Carson 1% each.

But the biggest prizes came for Cruz as he won Greenville, Spartanburg and Aiken GOP convention straw polls all on the same day as follows:

Greenville: Cruz 28%, Walker 22%, Carson 8.5%, Rubio and Santorum 8% each, Bush 5%, Paul and Huckabee 3% each, Graham 3%, Perry 2%, Fiorina 1%

Spartanburg: Cruz 32%, Walker 30%, Santorum 14%, Paul 7%, Others 16% combined.

In the Aiken straw poll, voters could vote for multiple candidates by listing their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices. Scott Walker got the most total votes, but Cruz edged Walker out in 1st choice votes as follows: Cruz 36%, Walker 32%, Rubio 14%, Santorum 9%, Paul 6%

And finally, late last week came the Dorchester county GOP Executive Committee straw poll: Cruz 30%, Walker 25%, Carson 16%, Rubio 11%, Paul 7%, Graham 4%, Santorum 2%, Kasich 2%

If he wants to sweep country he needs to get right on retention of illegals and increase on H1b visas. I really like him, but more visas and retention will hurt and does hurt, my multiple grand and great grand children’s future.

I don’t know if we can trust him on this issue.

We just need Cruz to do his job in the Senate. The guy seems to be absent from votes lately. It is bad enough he hasn’t done a thing but now he can’t even do minimum things like show up. See I can bash Cruz just like you bash Walker. Easy to do.

I will vote for Cruz... if the minions allow his candidacy...
but could be the republican primarys are riddled with voter fraud as well...
ONLY way to explain 2012.. right after 2010..

as well as massive voter fraud in the main election in 2016..
Seems all of Washington D.C. is a conspiracy of conspiracy’s..

There will be massive voter fraud. But in Republican primaries......I doubt it. The National Election for sure. Republicans don’t have voter fraud as far as I know anyway.

Could be Cruz couldn’t win, even if, he is selected...
Or Walker either... even with Palin as VeeP..

Democrats have been perfecting voter fraud for at least twenty years..
Which could EXPLAIN all the RINOs... presently in office..

Those who want to suppress the real conservatives will find that the real conservatives bounces back.

Where there is a action, there is always a reaction, the laws of physics.
