REPORT: Cruz Camp Worried BIG South Carolina Loss an Ominous Sign for Super Tuesday
Gateway Pundit ^ | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/19/2016 6:25:05 PM PST by Sybeck1

On the eve of the South Carolina primary Cruz insiders are reportedly privately beginning to fear that a big loss to Donald Trump would signal more defeats in the SEC states. CNN reported:

What if the firewall crumbles?

That’s the worry of a growing number of people close to Ted Cruz’s campaign, who are privately beginning to fear that a big loss in South Carolina to Donald Trump on Saturday could signal more defeats to come in the so-called SEC states that are the lynchpin of Cruz’s strategy.

“If they’re pretty far back from Trump and they can’t get southern conservative evangelicals in South Carolina, I do think they’re probably going to have a hard time elsewhere,” said Erick Erickson, a conservative writer in touch with Cruz’s team. “I sense a real fear from people that if Trump blows everybody out of the water in South Carolina, that he is suddenly unstoppable.”

I’m fine with Cruz or Trump but here’s what I’m seeing

Here my fear. Lets say Trump or Cruz has enough delegates to take the first ballot at the convention. The PTB plan on changing Rule 37 to strip the delegates from any front runner by ensuring that they are not bound. That and to allow for secret ballot by said delegates to make certain they vote the “right” way.

After the Rubio/Ryan or whatever ticket looses to Biden/Warren (cause the same thing will happen to Sanders)...Capital Controls will be implemented. Already they are floating the ballon to ban the $100 bill. After that say another year...ban physical cash all together and force everyone to opt in to bail out the banks the banksters, Warrens new Foundation, whatever. The uniparty is all in on making certain that the loose change in our pockets and sofa are in their coffers.

Anyway, that is my fear. While Ted is an honorable man, I personally think he needs to step back and look at the big picture and support the Bull in the China Shop being Trump. Ted would be able to provide excellent advice in terms of law etc to defeat the globalist uniparty sucks. That is my thought...flame away my FRiends!

This Sicilian would put someone in the hospital for 13 years if he said that to my girl.

WTH.

i’m sorry that was said to you. It was disgusting.

Maybe you can’t like both if this is what’s going on.

anyway, sorry for bothering you. I’m just very shocked and mad.

"Not to worry, Cruz will ALWAYS have Iowa."


Is that anything like "always having Paris"?    :-)

Here is another specific worry Cruz has to contend with.

One of the biggest challenges Ted Cruz must try to overcome in all the upcoming 2016 primaries (including South Carolina tomorrow), is his effeminate, weak, pipsqueak, high-pitched (fruity) voice, as he lays out his peculiar, bizarre visions for the future, as demonstrated in his youtube videos, linked below.   Give them a listen (focusing on his "twinkletoes" nasal voice) and see for yourself.
Ted discusses his career plans after he loses.
Here's Ted sharing his fondest dreams when he was a young man.
Ted reveals his sincerity, genuine authenticity, and honest integrity.

I expect Trump to win too.

I just don’t expect the country to win as a result.

He must be getting TERRIBLE advice.

One of the biggest factors to success in the office is the ability to hire good people...and know who to listen to.

The candidates who are successful run as themselves. You remember "Let Reagan be Reagan?"

Ted went to Princeton and Harvard.

He's gonna side with the other elitists; his whole self-image is wrapped in it.

(When has he ever worked a *real* job instead of working for the government, or working as a lawyer? He should go be Attorney General under Trump, and use every ounce of his strength to send ever last corrupt Obmacrat to Leavenworth...provided they ere found guilty in court. Otherwise, he can just use civil and administrative penalties on them, just like Obama has done. Turnabout is fair play.)

They (CRUZ & BECK) handing out bears and soccer balls to highlight the humanitarian crisis Obama created at the border.

LOL...talk about rationalizing the rewarding & incentivizing the ILLEGAL ALIENS INVASION....

Add Cruz choosing the lunatic Beck to campaign with and "administer the oath of office"

Birds of a feather...

Legit. Remember the lead balloon bobo floated in '09 about raiding 401k/IRA/Roth/Keogh? It's back.
