Cruz: I’m the only candidate who can beat Trump (Race absolute dead heat, can't guarantee win)
Washington Post ^

Posted on 01/25/2016 8:09:02 PM PST by springwater13

Cruz, who is battling Trump for first place just a week from this state's caucuses, told a ballroom full of pastors at a lunch here that the race between the two men is an "absolute dead heat."

"If Donald wins Iowa he right now has a substantial lead in New Hampshire. If he went on to win New Hampshire as well there's a very good chance he could be unstoppable and be our nominee. And the next seven days in Iowa will determine whether or not that happens," Cruz said at a policy briefing luncheon put on by the American Renewal Project, an organization of conservative pastors that has held events with numerous candidates in Iowa.

"What I've told people is I can't guarantee we'll win. I don't know that. That's out of my hands. I believe we have a path to victory. I believe we put the team in place, I believe we have a winning strategy," Cruz said. But what I can guarantee you is at the end of the day, everyone that's been a part of this will be able to look in the mirror and be proud."

Really, when you are dragging Trump wife into mud. Mr Cruz, man of faith, is proud of himself.

It is really worse than that and they know it. This is what the admit.

From the Politico:

“His [Trump] momentum is hard to deny. Both the Cruz and Rubio camps privately acknowledge they very well might finish in second or third place here. “

Poor Teddy, Beck has already sworn him in as president ( okay, it wasn’t REALLY the presidential oath of office and he took the “oath” on a COMPASS ), but that doesn’t mean that he will win Iowa; nor much else.

“What I’ve told people is I can’t guarantee we’ll win.”

He SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID THAT! Never admit you may loose! It will be evident after the vote that you have lost, but you should never advance the idea that it’s even a possibility untii it’s a fate complit.

Cruz has to have the greatest debate of his life and/or pray Trump’s supporters don’t show up.

He’s going down fast and a lot of voters are now looking at Rubio... Just as the Establishment want.

He probably is. I don’t see much of a path for anyone else.

Yet all the Establishment’s ad dollars are aimed at Ted, not at the frontrunner. Why do you suppose that is?

That makes no sense, Trump is now openly admitting that he’s the new establishment candidate. And the GOPe are now openly saying Trump is their guy. All the hopes of the establishment rest on Donald Trump now.
