Ted Cruz Loses Every Single County In South Carolina Election - Including the Staunchly Evangelical Counties

by sundance

In August of 2015, against considerable backlash, we stood firm on a fundamental position that Senator Ted Cruz did not have a pathway, a roadmap, to victory in the 2016 GOP presidential primary.

Despite the fundamentally sound reasoning for our prediction, which was entirely based on congressional district by district analytics, our position drew an immense amount of criticism and even a quick response from the Cruz campaign itself (Brian Phillips).

Unfortunately, tonight’s South Carolina results vindicate a massive amount of historical research. There simply is no pathway to victory when you rely almost exclusively on “proselytizing as an electoral strategy“:

Not one county, and not a single delegate

defeated

REMINDER

It’s not personal, it is simply a factual reality. The Ted Cruz Road Map is non-existent; and beyond the SEC primary states there is little to no organization at all. Nothing in the state of Florida. The campaign is NOT what most people have been led to believe it is.

We strongly urge people to do their own research and to connect their own dots. The campaign will NOT stop sending you donation requests, that much is certain.

What about that NBC/WSJ poll that showed Cruz 5 points behind Trump, the one that made Rush Limbaugh salivate over and talk about over and over and over?

And highlight and reference and wonder?

I think anybody who says they don’t like Ted Cruz is probably being overly influenced by the media in this regard and haven’t met him personally.

You don’t get where Cruz has gotten if you have a terrible personality.

You describe yourself as “as a Reagan, fiscal conservative...” yet you describe Ted Cruz as if you were a 14 year old girl, “He is slimey and creepy.” Where’s your logic? Cruz has stood up for the constitution. Trump hasn’t. Cruz wants to get rid of Obamacare entirely. Trump likes the mandate. Trump appears to be nothing more than mouth and attitude and unworthy of trust.

The Senate would never confirm Cruz to SCOTUS.

--What party tries to kill off its own frontrunner?

Power, influence, money, and most of all, survival, are strong motivators.

If Cruz truly believed in the Constitution, he wouldn't be running!

Right.

He'd just step back do nothing while people who don't truly believe in it assume power.

That'd be the right thing to do.

I want Trump to win.

He is just wasting somebody else's money and time.

Just like another loser who just dropped out. Professional losers do not mind spending OPM as candidates or in the $inate.

Iowa never matters.

Cruzbots did not understand this.

IIRC, that was a rigged poll. The pollster admitted it.

Cruz is toast. If he cant win in the south, he cant win anywhere.

He needs to cut a deal for SCOTUS and endorse Trump.


Truer words were never spoken.

If he's going to cut a deal with Trump, he's going to have to play by Trump's rules, and that means you don't just roll over.

There are other ways Cruz can serve the US.

Commander-in-Chief isn’t it though.

Being a constant thorn in the libs side in the Senate serves as a good starting point.

After President Trump is sworn in 2017, we will call it the very stupid/suicidal former GOPE Very Stupid Party.
