They are new, and it isn’t so breaking. They also have SC and will publish NV on Monday. Desperate?
What do you mean “no connection”? He was warning about the threats of illegal immigration/border security and Islamic terrorists in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve. He was passionately arguing in TV interviews in the 1980s about America’s huge, unfair trade deficit. He said then that he would get much better trade deals for the US if he were in control. Maybe you haven’t noticed but these are the three key issues on which he is running.
He’s also been an outspoken law-and-order, pro-death penalty supporter since the 1980s also. In a 1980 interview he said he thought he was put on earth to provide jobs for people; now he says he would be the greatest jobs president. He’s been going on about corporate inversion for a while now too.
For a long time he’s been one of the few New York City residents who has had a concealed carry permit. Even a while back when he had for a while supported an assault weapons ban, he noted right before he said it that he was generally a big supporter of the Second Amendment.
He’s always been against unnecessary neo-con wars and regime change, and he’s been very publicly pro-vet at least since the Iraq War when Bush was still president.
The issues that are driving his campaign are ones that he’s been pushing for years now. I see no justification for the claim that he has “no connection” to these and some other issues.

So true, so far.
But everyone knows that eventually money will make a huge difference.
Advertising in the major media markets and big states costs a boat load of money, and in the big "winner take all" states you cannot communicate with enough people without ads.
Of course, in the General, the party PACs put up most of that money and most of the organization.
Not so in the primaries.
Florida alone will probably cost between $15 and $20 million. Maybe more in 2016 with Cruz, Rubio, Jeb and Trump all vying for air time. And each thinking they "must win".
It's going to be a dog fight.

Yes, I saw that. +22 margin
You really think the msm needs Trump to achieve each and every item in your list?
You are trying way too hard.
My bad Christie 11 Carson down to 5
To condition the public to hate any conservative Republican.
To provide an example of what they hate about Republicans.
To legitimize leftist criticisms and complaints.
To reinforce a common culture of ridicule.
To make it easier for Marxist candidates to engage in blanket truisms that supposedly discredit conservatives.

Wow. You have quite an imagination.
Remember the republican nominee will get funds from the party.
Ah, but where does THAT money come from...
When’s the national primary?
No national primary of course, but Cruz is made of a substance not quite in sync with most likely Voters.
Sure he can spend half a year getting Iowa farm boys to go all Yahoo for a bit, but the Force is not with him.
His alien citizenship credentials are definitely going to cause an implosion just as soon as he begins to genuinely move up in the public eye.
I personally will contribute whatever I can financially or else to insure that happens.
His clear non NBC status makes him an enemy of the Constitution and that makes him my foe as well.
Is Ted Cruz a natural-born citizen eligible to serve as president? [Yes! And I support him! JimRob]

From the Theater of the Absurd...
At this point it is a certainty that Trump or Cruz will be the nominee.
Hardly true. The problem with the Republican primary is that they have the conservative states primary but the rest of the blue and purple states are winner takes all. That is only reason Conservatives don’t win typically. Trump may just win but Cruz will have an impossible time beating someone in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Mass, VT, CT, CA, NM and so many others.
There are more of him here than I would’ve ever believed.
