I realize Ted Cruz is not perfect.
_____________________________________________
Yet if Ted Cruz were merely good, he’d at least be registering more than 5% in the polls. After almost three years of media exposure in the Senate...where are his supporters?
On the other hand, after almost three hours as a candidate, Donald Trump began to soar in the polls and is now averaging 25%.
Maybe this is because Donald Trump actually DID SOMETHING for Republicans. His passionate denunciation of illegal immigrant criminals and his equally passionate defense of his statements when the big bullies of the media came out to beat him up on the playground caused the serious issue of illegal immigrant crime to dominate the headlines just when the Democrats were about to start a national discussion on whether owners of Confederate flags should be given death sentences or merely life imprisonment.
Who else of the 16 Republican candidates will also have the courage to raise important issues?
For example, as the baby-tissues-for-cash revelations bring the sins of Planned Parenthood to the fore, will any candidate use the upcoming Republican debate to promise that if elected he/she will immediately begin the process of promoting the creation of a Constitutional Amendment banning late-term abortions?
There would be no downside to doing this, except maybe propelling the candidate who did so into the presidency — which more and more it seems the candidates don’t really want so much as to simply campaign, with all the fun and excitement and money and cheering crowds that brings, with none of the responsibilities of actually governing attached.
What a load of garbage...spoken like a good Trump person...talking points and all.
He is registering more than 5% in the polls if you stop reading real clear...look at the internals of those polls. Are they Republican based? On the other hand, if you look at Republican polls, Cruz is in the top 4.
BTW, I guess his supporters are hiding since he raised SO little money this last time, right? LOL.
There is a reason Cruz isn’t being covered and Trump is...first, Trump is more of a media personality. He attracts viewers. But, the media tends to ignore those they fear the most...
What did Trump actually do? He spoke loudly, oh, and he bashed McCain, but WHAT did he do? Flying to the border and talking about a border fence in certain areas isn’t doing something.
Who else has the courage? I don’t know...maybe a Senator from TX who called out his leader on the floor of the Senate? Someone who will actually SUFFER the consequences for standing up...Trump has nothing to lose. What he is doing isn’t heroic or courageous.
Trump hasn’t said he will ban partial birth yet...but Cruz is working on Planned Parenthood bills as we speak. Anyone who followed politics would know this. What has Trump said on Planned Parenthood by the way? Where was his outrage? I am glad to see that Trump is moving the bill onto the Senate Floor...oh wait, he isn’t. Cruz is.
Go figure.
