"You cannot beat Donald Trump coming from the left," Cruz told reporters here before a rally. "You see more moderate candidates standing on the debate stage and saying, 'Gosh, Donald, we need more amnesty. Gosh, Donald, don't be so tough on radical Islamic terrorism.' That's not going to work."
"The only way to beat Donald Trump is to highlight the simple truth of his record," Cruz added. "It is not conservative."

After coming in first in the Iowa caucuses, Cruz finished a distant third behind Trump on Tuesday night in New Hampshire, though he joked he deserves the same credit Marco Rubio got a week earlier for beating expectations in Iowa.
"I am looking forward to a week of wall-to-wall coverage on Fox News of the impressive third-place finish," Cruz said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Winning the primary based on moderates without getting very conservative voters is how we lost in 2008 and 2012. Too bad so many freepers want to repeat history and help ensure the supreme court is packed with radical leftists who will shred the constitution.
But it IS a word that pseudo intellectuals like to use, when then really mean vague and stupid utterances. :-)
Trump brings politics down to a new gutter level low, refreshingly free of substance for those who don’t like to think too hard.
It’s too bad that your obdurate refusal to actually see reality has so blinded you to the factual truth.
Little M2T has NO ideas of his own.
Cruz is not a globalist. He just doesn’t pretend to be an isolationist like Trump. Sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming “la la la,” interestingly enough, doesn’t make the rest of the world magically go away.
I learned it from John Kerry. I forget what he nuanced but the term stuck with me.
It is a great Lurch Word.
Found it.
International Man of Nuance
You’re totally full of crap. Cruz is taking heat from neocons in ads now because he ROLLED BACK NSA’s unconstitutional surveillance. Stop the lies.
They can go all the way to the convention and then release their delegates to the other....whichever is in the lead in delegates takes the P, and the other takes the VP.
That works for me.
It cannot be a public deal, though.
Trump will certainly deliver millions of new Mexican-American citizens through his touchback amnesty program. Not sure if he’ll fly them in by helicopter or not.
OTOH, Teddy IS somewhat of a GLOBALIST !
Then why did your ready-made moderates McCain and Romney fail?
That’s yet another LIE!
So who are you going to nominate next, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey or Bill Gates? If only rich businessmen can make the country great, are you going to keep only ever nominating them?
What is different about your definition of conservatism from the “radio talkers?”
LOL....poor Jonah...he’s a pseudo and afraid to call a spade a spade.
You’re the dummy if you don’t realize Trump has 30 years of public statements ON THE RECORD, most of them supporting New York Values liberalism and big-government statism.
And Cruz isn't even as "good" as Goldwater was.
