OK everyone, repeat after me:
Donald Trump has a massive lead in the polls
Cruz is in 2nd place
If the other candidates cannot beat Trump, how are they going to beat Hillary?
When the other candidates drop out Cruz gets the bulk of their supporters? Why? Trump s negatives are astronomical because he has insulted the remaining candidates.
This isn t a two man race yet. It s a 13 man race with three lanes, the populist lane (Trump), the conservative lane (Cruz, et. al.), and the RINO lane (Bush, Rubio, Christie, etc.)
Even without the other candidates dropping out, Cruz is leading in IA and tied with Trump in SC.
Finally, Cruz support is spiking up, while Trump s support has remained between 32-39% for five months.
Yes. Repeat over-and-over again that Trump has a big lead in the media paid for polls and that Cruz (the conservative) can't beat Hillary.
Do it for half a year and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
