Senator says polls put billionaire on fast-track to nomination.
Sen. Ted Cruz made a somewhat startling statement during a recent address to evangelical pastors, telling them Donald Trump seems on fast-track status to win the nomination - that if he wins Iowa, the billionaire businessman "could be unstoppable" on the campaign trail.
The video, obtained by the Christian Broadcasting Network and the Brody File, showed Cruz telling his gathered listeners the nomination process was basically entering its final stretch, despite the fact the first caucuses and primaries haven't even taken place, yet.
"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 is a very good chance he could be unstoppable and be our nominee," Cruz said, in the video.
He went on, CNN reported: "So even if you're thinking about another candidate, the simple reality is there's only one campaign that can beat Trump in this state and if conservatives simply stand up and unite, that's everything."
Cruz said the race he's running with Trump is at a "dead heat." But polls actually show Trump with big enough lead to beat even statistical variances.
Three recent Iowa polls from CNN/ORC and Fox News show Trump with an 11-point lead over the entire Republican pack.
CNN/ORC's most recent national survey, meanwhile, shows more than 4-in-10 of Republican voters, 41 percent, around the nation want Trump as their candidate.
This is the first time Trump has surpassed the 40 percent mark in CNN/ORC polls. Cruz comes in second, but with a distant 19 percentage point of voter support. Sen. Marco Rubio, in third, has only eight percent, the poll showed.

Where is the photo of Reagan being chummy with Tip BEFORE he became President? You know, like the one of Trump with Sharpton!

I got that. But I don’t consider telling the truth about Trump’s history “mud-slinging”.

Cruz is gilligan.
Beck is skipper.
Mercer (their owner) is Thurston Howell III.

Funny you used a television analogy considering your candidate is a carnival barker reality TV star.

Ginger and Mary Ann will vote Trump.
To: HarleyLady27
Bottom line, Harleylady: Trump has advanced (mostly) an extremist liberal agenda for 68 of his 69 years, contributing big money to the worst of the cretins who are destroying our Constitutional system. If you believe that the man had an epiphany the day he decided to run for President, that makes one of us. Ted has ALWAYS been with us.
Thank you for your cordial response. Bob

President Dewey had a lot of faith in the polls too.

Just so you know Reagan was also a reformed conservative, just like Trump. Those kind of candidates seem to resonate with majority of voters and win elections.
Reagan speaking as liberal democrat....

Dewey = ONE poll.
Trump = 150 polls.
Always keep an eye on proportions and scale.
Otherwise failure will come your way.
