If Trump lets up, but so far he hasn’t. He has people with their eyes glued to the TV for the next shocking thing he is going to come up with.

Consider the source here, WSJ, they hate Trump/ Lot of polls out there some better than others. The one’s this morning on Morning Joe were a lot more interesting.

Guess we will just have to see.

There are 4 new polls out. Here they are, including the NBC/WSJ poll.

Only the NBC/WSJ poll has Cruz anywhere near the lead.

So for now, it’s an outlier.

I’m actually not so surprised. As people research more, they realize that Ted Cruz is a Reagan conservative, and represents TRUE CONSERVATIVE views, in every way.

I’m with Cruz, but I don’t see him doing squat. Candidates I favor never win.

I could never be prouder of Ted than today, when he fired right back at Trump and dared him to file his frivolous suits! Can you believe a man who wants to file a suit over an ad that play the video from him? Trump has met a man with backbone who will not give in to his bullying! In case you people don’t know it, the court is very loath to get involved in election ads. They let the voter decide.

I totally believe it considering how hard The Donald was a ripping up GWB and how easy he went on Obama who basically said Trump wasn’t qualified to be President and that the American people should reject him....

Why hasn’t Trump gone after Obama for those comments like he goes after Cruz and GW... Maybe he is afraid of losing all of his Liberal supporters....

Here I will even help the Don....Say this...

You know after Obama said I will never be President and some personal reflection I may have been a little hard on GWB about protecting us on 911 but I must say this as far as Obama is concerned he is the one that actually lost all the gains in Iraq, lost Afghanistan created ISIS and what he should be doing is apologizing to the families and loved ones of all those killed in the San Bernardino, Boston Marathon, Benghazi, Fort Hood, Terror attacks which were planned and launched under his watch. His inept weakness caused those poor people to die and he owes their families and this nation an apology..

You knew this was coming. So they go like 10-14 days since the last National poll. Then a flurry of polls come out today with this one hidden in the mix. Who knows which one is right, but the media is not afraid of playing games when it comes to politics. Fox poll comes out tomorrow and then we’ll see what other “surprises” are ready to come out before Saturday.

Forgot to write that Trump and Cruz are my Co-Number Ones.

So I’m not grinding Trump’s axe here, just observing what’s happening on the ground.

Also, Cruz was endorsed by James Dobson today.
