"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.

Wait, what?

Well go to the MSM and beg for it. Have fun with that.
Like people said, it’s hard to win when you cant camp out in a state for a year.
NH shows Cruz can beat Trump. Wow.
He has no record. We don’t know how he would have voted,
Take a look at this interview, live in person, in studio, and get back to us. ;-)

“Conservative” won’t beat the democrats.
This is the battle; illogical morons with their lips permanently fastened to government tits outnumber those of us who are paying for it all. That is a fact. Trump represents the only hope for getting enough crossover and independent votes to overcome those tit sucking parasites. Cruz simply will not pull in enough votes to do it. Trump is the only chance we have.
I will vote for whoever is the republican nominee but none but Trump stand a chance at winning this fall. The popularity of Sanders, and by default socialism, coupled with the fact the number of parasites outnumber those who make up the host proves that beyond any doubt in my mind.

Theodore is correct on this.
Telling independent voters that Trump is not a conservative gives them another reason to vote for him, so thanks Ted.
Huh? That makes no sense.
Getting 3rd is the same as winning?
Common core math!
So as long as the Cruz campaign can spread rumors in a caucus state and as long as he only is 25% behind Trump in the other states, he can win. LOL! What a dope Ted is.
I don't think many people understand this point. Trump is pulling in conservatives. But his coalition is much broader then that. That's why he's difficult to pigeonhole which was probably his strategy all along.
That’s the way I see it. And I think he’d beat Hilary (if she lasts) in New York. Union workers want jobs and that message is resonating with them. I like Cruz but I don’t think he can win in the Northeast.
“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 never happened. Setting up strawman is not a sign of strength.
LoL.
Active NH vote count.
Trump 99,839

Cruz 33,040
Trump is so many levels above what we are used to many people have no idea what he’s talking about. Those reporters are in shock. They don’t get it. And, sad to say, many here on FR don’t get it either.
Trump goes into every “Deal” very well informed and seldom has he been bested. 10 plus billion says so.
