>> Its a mistake to throw away Conservatives votes in blue states. New york and Calfornia are large population states. 30% Conservative votes in those states represent a population much larger than a lot of Red States <<

The electoral college is winner-take-all in those states. 30% conservative voters (or even 49% for that matter) means 0 electoral votes. New York always casts 100% of its EV's for the RAT. That's not going to change no matter how much the GOP "reaches out" to a state like NY.

As someone else noted, Dems have no problem bashing conservative states like Alabama. They could care less that 30-40% of the voters in those states agree with them.

Trump always “wins” that Drudge poll. He won that poll during the debate when he barely spoke.

“Volunteer sampling” makes for lousy statistical prognosis.

Conservatives in this state know what Cruz means by NY values - the libs might not like it, but no one else outside NY will care.

Are they including my searches for Ted Cruz’s supposed work to overturn Prop 187 here in California? I mean searches for Ted Cruz spiking by 150 percent can include a lot of different searches.

Now regarding the above information, it was contained in a post on a long thread that I can find (the post) over at Conservative Treehouse. So far I have not found any collaborating information that Cruz lent his lawer-like talents to help overturn Prop 187 in CA. Just to let everyone know.

But, I am certain that ABC is including those multiple searches of mine as some sort of Magical internet something so it must be true or something.

He didn’t. And if He did, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing. The City of New York for example needs insulting for voting a hard core communist Deblasio as mayor.

People, does not matter who won the debate, Trump is a leader, Cruz is lawyer/politician, end of story. A vote for Cruz in primary is a vote for Hillary.

Anybody else wondering why the press is so darned determined to take Trump out? Perhaps fear?

I especially liked the birther slapdown.

It wasn't a slapdown at all...Trump didn't even try to fight back...Trump is not trying to hurt Cruz...He's trying to help him...He want's Cruz for his VP...

I regret sending Cruz money.

Cruz is smart. He speaks and debates like a polished politician. He is very clever at delivering non answers to questions.

The time for all that is past. Trump is popular because he’s different from the usual slick wonks.

Now we know why
Sen. Goldmann Sachs Cruz supported the vote
for ObamaTRADE; because it was

1) SECRET
2) helped Obama
3) destroyed America, but
4) was supported by Cruzs’ master: Goldmann Sachs.

NY is a schizophrenic state. Much of NYC is liberal, while upstate voters are pro gun and more conservative. I was born in NYC and lived there many years, but got fed up and voted with my feet. The Dhimmirats, race racketerrs and all manner of fools are ruining the place. The problem with upstate NY is that it has long been under the thumb of the Cuomo’s, both liberal fascists. Rudy was elected after I left, and statewide, Pataki’s election gave some relief. Nevertheless, IMHO,the PC cancer had ruined the place. Cruz was largely right,and Trump represents those there who would challenge the ‘rat commissars..

Why do these “Cruz won” stories all look like they were written last week and have been sitting in a docs file ready for posting since then? This is the same old thing: Trump wins every on line one vote per person survey and the GOPE flavor of the month “wins” in almost every media story.

That look on Cruz’s face after Trump dressed him down on New York values was definitely not the look of a winner.

Add in Trump’s lectures on China, immigration, security, and it is hard to see how anyone could give the debate to Cruz.

He cleared up the birther situation a little clearer and discussed some of the plans on the future of his campaign . He defended some of the things that came up between Trump and him and why he said some of the things to Trump this past 2 weeks. He done good.

That's true...That pretty much wrapped it up...Cruz should maybe get points for talking a lot but for me, not much of what he said is memorable...

I liked Cruz's line about "New York values" ...

No one on Planet Earth can honestly believe that Ted Cruz was dissing New York over 9/11 ...


Ted Cruz (like he clarified during the debate) said "New York Values" refers to gay marriage, banning large sodas, obsession with sex, drugs, money ...

That's what Ted Cruz meant ... anyone (including Donald Trump, who is great) who misconstrues Ted Cruz's point can "Go To Hell" ...


BTW ... Most Floridians who've traveled to Ft. Lauderdale KNOW EXACTLY what Ted Cruz was saying ...

Far too many MILLIONS of New Yorkers are arrogant, liberal jerks ...

"And that's a FACT that EVERYONE in AMERICA knows" ...
