Cruz: Trump, Carson Campaigns Will Fall, I'll Get Their Supporters
Newsmax ^ | Dec, 10 2015 | Greg Richter

"I think both of them, their campaigns have a natural arc," Cruz says. "And with both of them I think gravity is pulling them down…. Carson is further in that descent."

"You look at Paris, you look at San Bernardino, it’s given a seriousness to this race, that people are looking for: Who is prepared to be a commander in chief? Who understands the threats we face? Who am I comfortable having their finger on the button?

"Now that’s a question of strength, but it’s also a question of judgment. And I think that is a question that is a challenging question for both of them. So my approach, much to the frustration of the media has been to bear hug both of them, and smother them with love

If Trump wins the primary, who will join his team in the general if all of his supporters have alienated absolutely everyone? Bad tactic.

I'm sure you think that is pithy, but it has no resemblance to fact. The only people that have been alienated are the lowest of the Cruz supporters. I predicts from this point going forward, you are going to see a lot more people besides just Cruz trying to jump on Trumps coat tails.

He could be right, and as a Trump supporter, I could live with it.

He could be right. He could be wrong. Thanks for keeping things in perspective.

No he doesn’t; not against Cruz, at least.

He lost it over this comment? I’m a Cruz supporter who has spent hours and hours defending Trump. Maybe I should stop defending Trump.

This is very ignorant statement on Cruz’s part.

Has Cruz been out stumping the way Trump has?

Cruz may get my support as VP but I want a high energy, tough sob to deal with Putin and everybody else out there. Cruz is smart but smart is not enough.

If things go bad there may be a historic number of stay-at-home non-voters next year.

I have spent countless hours defending both. I am against either side bashing the other. As for this comment, it seems like a silly nothing. Of course he wants to win. Otherwise why run?

Yes. He should have said Trump and Carson will never lose supporters and I will never gain more than 20% support in the Republican primary.

Fine, that’s your decision but I won’t be defending Cruz, or offering any kind of support for him!

All this means is that Ted Cruz is running in the primary because he wants to win the primary.

It’s one thing to want to win; quite another one to start a fight one is not going to win, with the front runner, whose bite is worse than his bark.

20% support in the Republican primary.

Like Crus will ever garner that kind of support. Thanks for the laugh!
