It's not even a fair contest. Cruz is far the intellectual and tactical superior to any of the current dwarf candidates. Just a matter of counting the delegates now.

The Establishment is so right in fearing Cruz more than Trump. In Cruz, one has a pro life, anti LGBT, limited government conservative with a proven conservative record since he was 14 years old.

Absolutely incredible that some on FR have caved and forsaken their conservatism -- but that's why I support Cruz-- he has solid principles, he'll never cave.

Cruz Is Playing the Media Perfectly

And the Enemedia so well deserve being played. I would hope, until their heads explode in frustration.

I agree with Rush...

WALLACE: Ted Cruz.

LIMBAUGH: Brilliant, and conservative through and through. Trustworthy, strong, confident, leader, and somebody in whom you can totally depend.

Cruz has survived years of bashing from the MSM, Dems, and GOPe. That is one of the reasons he scares them all. As many of us thought, once he was able to get out of DC and actually start a conversation with America his numbers would move.

Despite what some say, the media hasn't even gotten started on his main competition. And why would they? They want him for the ratings right now.

Forget the stupid media, Cruz needs to hit back at Trump. With just a month remaining before the primary starts, he needs to kick ass and take names. There are too many candidates right now. Make it Trump vs Cruz and all conservatives will have to think hard between a twice divorced populist megalomaniac versus a rock solid conservative.

Why are there no Cruz threads in Breaking News/Front Page News?

"It's not even a fair contest. Cruz is far the intellectual and tactical superior to any of the current dwarf candidates. Just a matter of counting the delegates now. "

Oh please.

Why dont you just anoint him the 2nd son of God, avoid the whole primary, swear him in tomorrow for as president for life and promptly chisel a face on a mountain.

For a guy that leads in 1-2 polls in Iowa, and literally no where else, you guys seem to have mouths bigger than what you say Trump is supposed to have.

"Absolutely incredible that some on FR have caved and forsaken their conservatism "



And this concludes the hourly Cruz supporter Virtue Signal. Remember, if you dont support Cruz, you are a fake conservative that doesn't believe in the constitution.....because reasons.

Which is two and a half more than his major competition.

How is Cruz supposed to “hit back” at Trump when Trump isn’t hitting Cruz?

Perhaps you mean “attack” Trump.

His major competition has many years on Cruz. Cruz was still crapping his diapers.

*snort* hahahahaha! Cruz is the master of the media now. How many millions has Cruz paid for advertisements and in how many states is he leading?

Oh geez. How often does this meme have to repeat? You sound like the 13 year old girl who writes the MoveOn.org emails. (”Oooh. Like, it’s such a SHAME that everyone doesn’t agree with us. They’re baaaad people.”)

It isn’t 1988 anymore! The world that your brand of perfect conservatism exists in is like a town in a model train layout. We aren’t the Center-Right nation on the Left=Socialism/Right=Free Market scale we once were. We are a Far Left and Far Right nation on the European model (Left=Globalism/Right=Nationalism).

Look around. Your middle class neighbor is living on unemployment since his job went to China. His 30 year old son is living at home. Your paycheck buys less every year but the stock market hits record highs.

Cruz is a great guy, but we need someone who can steer this ship away from the rocks. That might require a leader who knows when to issue Ahead Flank on some screws and Back Emergency on the others in addition to the rudder orders. Cruz is a rudder only guy.

"Yeah, 3 whole years! Oh, the agony."

Spoken in total ignorance of Cruz's career going all the way back to Texas.

And in stark contrast with Trump's six months of "conservatism."

And all those years he was the darling of Democrats, so what is your point?

Is that your way of saying: "He's spent millions and isn't leading anywhere except, MAYBE, Iowa"?

How much has Trump spent on ads? 250,000.

The numbers don't lie. Cruz the master of the media? Only in the dreams of the same people who spam Trump threads to defend a candidate who lies about his immigration position.
