This is just HS! Cruz may be “winning” the Tea Party Poll, but he’s nowhere in the general polling in North Carolina
Take a look! http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/nc/north_carolina_republican_presidential_primary-3491.html
In this RCP polling average, Cruz is an also ran. He needs to figure out how to be a part of the Trump Administration where he can continue to give us the kind of leadership for which he’s become noted (or stay in the Senate and help get rid of the GoPee trash there).
I’d be pleased to have Ted for president, but I simply don’t see it happening. All this “hyperventilating” about Cruz being the “heir apparent” to Trump’s voters when he fails is simply political hyperbole. Saying it, doesn’t make it so!
Exactly. Cruz basically appeals to the same personality and temperament of people that Jeb does - politicos and the wheeler-dealer types, it’s just that Cruz’s are a bit more to the Right than Bush’s are.
As far as appeal to the actual rank-and-file who don’t spend their Saturdays at political caucuses - Cruz doesn’t really have it.

There have been some polls that support that position. There were two which found
about 13% would go to Cruz the rest somewhere else.
