“I want to tell everyone to get ready, strap on the full armor of God. Get ready for the attacks that are coming,” Cruz said. “Come the month of January, we ain’t seen nothing yet.”
Average on RCP, yes, Cruz is ahead. Last poll? Tie. Two of last three, Trump has led or tied. Cruz peaking??
did a youtube search...... can’t find any Cruz rallies with more than a few hundred people. Remove Trump from the equation, and he appears to be little more than the “tallest midget in the circus”.
Carly Fiorina said Cruz is just saying anything it takes to get elected just hours after cheering for the Hawkeyes. LOL
Did you see Carly Fiorina’s tweet on New Year’s Day?
Back to the constitution!
No I don’t think I did.
Carly is a boring candidate so I don’t pay a lot of attention to her.
You cannot remove clowns from the circus. They are a fan favorite.
I'll say only this - Ted's my guy - go Ted.
And If he doesn't get it, go Trump.
To dung flinging Freepers, go p*ss up a rope.
11% of Iowans saying Trump does NOT have temperament to be POTUS won’t help him, and he has made no real gains in state polls of late.
I wonder how many Iowans were on the Cruz conference call last week, when he said the best way to fight lies is with the truth and a smile, and talking to people you know.

Obama has the worst personality, Phoney and yet he is still at 42 percent in the polls.
Trump had 20,000 in Biloxi last night a record.
If Trump gets even half his crowds to the caucus, and he seems to have a loyal cadre, he blows the doors off the Religious Caucuses of Iowa. They say you have to be Pope to win Iowa and it matters for nought anywhere else. Even Reagan lost there.
I think Trump can put his people in place for IOWA.
It hasn’t gone unnoticed that Trump has avoided flyover country like the plague.
Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Mobile are not flyover country. They’re urban centers full of moderate to liberal voters.
Rush Limbaugh warned Mitt Romney about this in 2012. He said Romney might win the nomination ignoring flyover country but there was no way he would win the general with the people he chose to ignore. Rush was right. Its important to note that Ted Cruz is a much tougher campaigner than Rick Santorum was.
Ted Cruz hasn’t gone to big venues because there aren’t too many of them in towns of a couple hundred people. He has however filled every venue he’s gone to that holds 1500 to 2500 people. I have no doubt that Cruz will easily match Trump’s crowd when he tries but the time for that hasn’t arrived.
They mimic us in the cruelest way, making us laugh at them...and, in the end, at ourselves. They are so good at it. I guess that's why they are such fan favorites.
No, they cannot be removed from the circus.
I haven't seen a real circus in eons. But, then I guess I don't care enough.
Cruz has long been my favorite candidate, the one I hoped to see run, but I’m starting to see him differently. Now this:
“Ted Cruz says Bill Clinton not an issue in presidential race”
http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3378001/posts?page=1
As far as I’m concerned, that seems to be his declaration of being an Establishment candidate after all. His comments about gay marriage not being a top priority and it being a “states’ issue” support that impression too.
I was very disappointed to see that from Cruz. It’s as though he’s straining out a gnat to swallow a camel and doesn’t recognize what the true fight is.
The top reason why personal matters always get brought up in campaigns isn’t because it “works†to talk about them. They get brought up AND it works to talk about them because THEY MATTER.
It’s like Cruz is saying “let’s just put character aside and have an intellectual debate over the issues.†Well, you CAN’T put character aside no matter what, and you cannot have a true intellectual debate, either, without considering character.
The fact that Cruz is willing to lay aside all the wrong-doing of the Clintons and pretend their upstanding citizens has the hallmarks of the secular humanist uniparty.
Meanwhile, the left isn’t going to let up for a second attacking the character and integrity of Bible-believing Christians, the right in general, and the Republic candidates. Just about every time they open their mouths, it’s to characterize their opponents as somehow immoral or amoral. LISTEN TO THEM. They always frame their position as the moral one and personally attack whoever opposes them.
And as a matter of fact, lately Republican leaders have been doing the same.
Cruz is setting himself up to be another McCain or Romney with this. Maybe he plans on voting for Hillary.

I continue to ask, which states does Sen. Cruz win that Romney lost?
Which states does Sen. Cruz bring into the GOP column?
Bueller?
Until that question is answered, it doesn’t matter, because we lose.
