Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are, not surprisingly, now in a total war. One school of thought is that Cruz made a mistake in cozying up to Trump for so long now that The Donald is lambasting him in the harshest and most demagogic terms. I don’t think that’s right. Even though Cruz’s “friendship†was transparently insincere–and often cringe-inducing–it was very shrewd, and the timing of the break-up is too. It was very unlikely that the truce could last forever, and the timing of the open hostilities means that Cruz can blame Trump for firing the first shot (the Canadian stuff) and, more importantly, attack Trump from a much stronger political position. With his surge over the last month or so, Cruz has amassed an extraordinary reserve of credibility on the right. A recent poll in Iowa had him at 91-6 favorable-unfavorable among tea partiers. If anyone has the standing to make the case against Donald Trump, it is Ted Cruz. And he won’t be making a “golly, Donald, why can’t you be nicer?†case against Trump, but a hard-hitting conservative one (and while a divided and feckless establishment, such as it is, watches from the sidelines). If there was any tactical error here it was on the part of Donald Trump. It has been pretty clear for a long time that Cruz had great potential in Iowa, but back when Trump could have dropped a bomb on Cruz before he took off, the mogul was either taken in by Cruz’s submissiveness, or willing to play along with the terms of their faux friendship.

You know, this could go South so fast...
LMAO
It matters big time. Cruz is hated. I can see why. I don’t hate him but I can see why people do. Someone else wrote something the other day…whichever campaign is having the mist fun will win. Makes sense.
Obviously you know nothing sbout Cruz
Oh, yes.
I’m investing in popcorn futures first thing Tuesday.
I was thinking clarinet or whatever, and you had already done it. LOL
Nice one. Not too overt. Just right.
I love turning it back on these creatures.
The word conservative is getting sickening and overused to where it has lost all meaning - just like being called a racist. But, that’s all you naive Cruzbots have.
>>>Got to remind the folks of Iowa that Donald Trump thinks you are stupid<<<
Well, he was talking about the ones that supported crazy Ben, and he was correct...
>>>And he makes fun of handicapped people in wheelchairs<<<
Who would that be, the Governor of Texas? I hadn’t heard that? A guy in a Wheelchair, hmmmmmm.
>>>Donald Trump is a douche bag<<<
He Posts on Free Republic?
National Review is a bunch of establishment hacks.
Cruz looks like he was separated at birth from Grandpa Munster! He is such a condescending elitist. Creepy!!!!
bad fiddle playing then because Cruz went down in the polls and Trump went up again post debate,i.e., net gain of 6 by Trump over Cruz:

Lets see here Cruz is losing in NH, SC, FL, VA, MI, NC, MN, IL, MO, TX, GA, AL, MA, CT, OK, OH, and even Trump took a slim lead in Iowa. I’m sure I missed other states that Cruz is getting beat in.
Handicapped people in a wheelchair? Where did you pull that lie from - your rear end?
Cruz fans mistake is in thinking that the more people hear Cruz speak and explain these legalisms, the better they will like him.

much like hillary; the more Cruz speaks, the more unlikable he becomes. Besides, “who would vote for that face?”
I call BS on that floater. I’ll gladly vote for Cruz if he gets the nomination, and I doubt there are very many Trump supporters, if any, who won’t.
The question is, will he be the Constitutional conservative he says he is, and adhere to the Constitution when it comes to the issue of his eligibility?
Don't try that with a cat. Just sayin'
Lowry is still lost and clueless.
To believe that is to believe that blacks should have 3/5 of a vote in 2016.
My apologies—I misread your comment and got it backwards. We are in agreement, though I would hope most Cruz supporters would vote for Trump in the general.
Guess it will be jeb he has said all along they would neither one get the nomination.
