"HENRY OLSEN "?

Is he some kind of looser?

[dp0622]

Since anyone besides Cruz or Trump are more palatable to NR, I take any argument they make with a grain of salt.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Cruz will win from the other side of the ticket.

[Blood of Tyrants]

In other words, he gets little support form RINOs. Not surprising.

[JRandomFreeper]

I don't see Trump in there. Realistically, all those running should be included.

Not really. I consider these polls mostly BS.

In addition to that the NR is the party rag of the GOPe, this is exactly what they would want a poll to say hence....

A poll that says only the TeaParty loves Cruz and we all know what crazy bast@rds they are.

“Most Angry”..

GOP needs to play to the center....only way to win....yadda yadda....

[detective]

“Cruz’s rise is almost entirely due to his finally getting strong levels of support among the most angry and the most conservative elements of the party.”

It would be more accurate to say Senator Cruz is getting support from the more intelligent and more aware members of the populace. The media uses the insult angry to describe informed citizens.

The people who blindly and ignorantly believe whatever the media says do not support Senator Cruz. His supporters are those who can think for themselves and make intelligent decisions.

The center and the Left of the party will follow who ever the party nominates. They are the ultimate sheep. What is interesting to note is that Cruz is beating Hillary head to head for the 1st time.

Can you ever imagine, in your wildest dreams, any such analysis of the Democrats?

Imagine
-Hillary only get support of the strident angry feminist wing of the Democrat party which makes up only 33% of the Democrat voter base. She fairs poorly with center-right and male Democrats.

From the article:

"One should not write Ted Cruz’s obituary quite yet. A month is forever in politics, and we have many more forevers to go before the nomination is decided. But as my forthcoming book shows, these factional trends within the GOP are longstanding and deep. Cruz isn’t done for by a long shot, but the path he has chosen to take is simply the harder one to climb if he wants to reach the GOP’s summit."

Ted Cruz is Ronald Reagan. Landslide victory by him will shock the gop libs.

In a world where Bruce Jenner is a woman, National Review is a conservative publication.

[Dr. Sivana]

I am a Cruz supporter. But an article like this has to address the elephant in the room, Donald Trump.

The only reference to Trump in the article is the following, Simply put, moderate resistance to Cruz will eventually cause him heartaches and pain once they stop splitting their vote between five candidates (Bush, Rubio, Kasich, Christie, Trump) and start to unite around the survivor. Gee, it reminds of the old PBS children's TV game "One of these things doesn't belong here". I'm surprised that he didn't list Gilmore and Pataki ahead of Trump.

So . . . Trump's supporters evaporate. They'll go to Kasich, whose campaign is that he loves Trump and is more Christian because he commits his state to Fed Obamacare funding? Or maybe Rubio, who Trump is willing to provide delegates to, but only water. John Ellis Bush, according to Trump, wouldn't have enough energy to pick up his supporters if they required more energy than picking up the remote to acquire.

In 1980, the Establishment class had George the Elder, John Connolly, Howard Baker, John B. Anderson and Bob Dole to choose from. Even as candidates faded and there was only George the Elder, those who supported others gravitated to Reagan in good numbers.

Why is this? Because it isn't just about the issues spectrum. Those who support Donald Trump, liberal or moderate or conservative, are mostly supporting him on SOME of the issues, but they are mainly supporting the MAN.

If trump gets a lot, but not enough delegates to win the nomination, he might go Third Party, or he might use his bundle to help another candidate who isn't over the top either. Will that be John Ellis Bush? Or more likely Ted Cruz?

Henry Olsen? Who?

Did this idiot write this hogwash before or after Marco Rubio suggested going to war directly with Russia?

This article is simply tone deaf to the reality of the POTUS contest this year. Neither Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio can win the general election against Hillary Clinton....for the basic reason that neither one of them has enough overall votes to best Clinton!!!

The only candidate that can best Clinton is Donald Trump!!! Why? Simple & basic...he has the votes. Without a long winded rant...here’s the facts...Trump not only has Republican/Conservative voters solidly in his camp...but, he has Independents, Democrats, industrial union members, Hispanics and a smattering of Africa-Americans supporting him, etc.!!! He reaches way out of the Republican Establishment norm and attracts voters from all stripes of politics for basically the same reason....they love and believe in America!!!

This is fact, no matter what that moron, failure, Karl Rove utters!!! I would suggest that Ted Cruz shoot for the VP spot on the Trump ticket...because I believe that Trump would serve eight years & Cruz would serve the second eight....which is exactly what this country needs today As for Rubio & Jeb Bush.....they are wasting their time!!! They are both toast, no burnt toast...no matter how the fool that penned this article tries to lay it out!!!
