“Same guess as mine - Rubio is such a nice looking boy and so easy to listen to is what I hear from the older than me crowd.”

Easy to listen to? YIKES! I turn the sound down when the motor-mouthed little boy starts to speak.

No way!! I heard that Steve Deace talked to this guy who knows this kid who said that Ted Cruz has an 857% chance of winning by 80 points. Cruz is gonna win! You can take that to the bank!!

I’m hoping for a little ice on the roads so they don’t show up at the polls. The weather is a huge factor.

You miss my argument. I’m referring to Cruz’s actually being born a Canadian citizen, on Canadian soil. Cruz is no more (or less) a Cuban citizen than Rubio is, if I’m following the logic of a comparison.

I can just see him in a picture next to Putin. Will look like Sherman of Mr. Peabody/Sherman Cartoons.

Like the ones of Obama hanging curtains or bike with helmet and Putin riding a horse.


Bottom line. AND He’s really awkward. Gawky. I would be really embarrassed. Not quite as bad as 0bama & Mooch, but too close for comfort.

Do we just hate ourselves or something?

p>When you cannot stand on issues, you must divert attention away from your extreme LIEberal record, pointing at birther nonsense and favorable manufactured polling to weild influence over the outcome. The whole "it's over, we win" BS before a single voter has cast a ballot shows an outstanding weakness in your candidate.

I agree with their prediction. The Panthers will destroy the Broncos

I boldly predict that one candidate will win and we’ll find out Monday night!

the sad part of Cruz running and now tanking is that he really could’ve been AG. Had he done what Palin did and endorsed Trump like a week ago....he would have had a good claim to that position where he could really push our agenda hard. But no, he ran, even though his eligibility is, ahem, questionable. And...he probably could’ve been confirmed in the Senate, b/c they would probably be eager to get rid of him.

But now, he’s going to appear weaker after running, then doing well, and now tanking. Trump won’t offer him a job, and even if he did, I don’t think he could muster more than a few votes in the Senate. They are spiteful and they would see this as payback for someone who has been weakened by a foolish run for Prez.

Sigh.

This was all very avoidable.

I don't know. Trump doesn't appear to hold a grudge. He's a prick to make his point, but once the deal is done, he'd rather work with his opponent than bury him. The Senate would confirm Cruz, unless the DEMs filibustered. In that case, the long-standing tradition of being a dysfunctional body (and proud of the dysfunction!) will kick in, and Trump will find somebody else. I think the Senate would be happy to help Cruz find the door though.

The minute Ted Cruz marched that mad man, lunatic, Glnn Beck out onto the stage to endorse him, last week....was the moment Ted Cruz became toast...no, burnt toast!!! The Glenn Beck “JIM JONES, POISON KOOL-AID” rave and rant he delivered was devastating to Ted Cruz politically!!! Go figure!!!

GO DONALD TRUMP!!!

If any voter in Iowa casts their vote for Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucus....they are throwing their vote away. Cruz is cratering now, and will continue his downfall and failure, caused by only he, himself!!!

We now know that Beck is/was a super secret agent hired by Trump to destroy Cruz!

New Beck/Cruz Three $ bill?

Crazy Beck swearing in Ted Cruz as Faux President. Another critical Waterloo event!

Bring Palin back for the last week before Iowa.

She is Spicey and has a great rack.

Plus she revs up a crowd when she ticks off all the many reasons we like Trump.

Palin brought Trump’s polls up by 6 percent.

Bring Paling back, Palin, Palin, Palin.

Go Trump Go

“Nearly all attention will be on Trump, Cruz and Rubio”

Trump is already working to make sure that the attention will be just on him and Megyn. Cruz and Rubio will be sideshows.

The man is a genius. He is playing at a level that eludes most people.

For those not worried about Cruz’s wishy-washiness on immigration, Rubio might be appealing.

Seems a lot of the Cruz supporters here were adamant that Cruz was just as strong against amnesty as Trump, so Rubio wouldn’t be their choice.

If they sticks have their panties in a twist, they’ll go to Sanders, like Beck.
