“WHY is TRUMP surging in the POLLS if he is in fact NOT the CONSERVATIVE but more like Romney???”

Trump has huge name recognition.
Trump is a businessman (which is a good thing imho).
Trump is a billionaire.
Trump has lots of sound bites that resonate with people sick of the status quo.

I would vote for Trump over a democrat, but I am donating money to Cruz and pray that he will get the nomination. But, the polls sure don't look good.

I've heard people say that Cruz is “weak”, or “too polite”. I think he what he does is use a debating style - where you aren't just arguing with someone (such as Trump's one-liners), but where he presents a reasoned argument. Of course that takes a bit longer, and doesn't get the press.

Here is a video from yesterday where Cruz is chastising Pelosi with her no vote on some measure regarding human rights in China. (I think it was something symbolic - like changing the name of a road to honor a human-rights prisoner in China).

GREAT response by Cruz - very presidential.

Big huge DITTOS to everything you said.
I am donating to Ted Cruz.. voting for him and praying MUCH that he will get the nomination.
I am shocked and disappointed that so many here on Free Republic have accepted and are supporting the candidate that rhat is weak on the constitution vs the one that is strong... Trump vs Cruz.
