Ted Cruz Says Donald Trump's Voters Have "relatively low information" And Are "not that engaged"
CBN News ^ | March 10, 2016 | David Brody

Posted on 03/10/2016 6:23:01 AM PST by VitacoreVision

GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz tells The Brody File that the reason Donald Trump is performing well in the GOP race for president is because his voters are uninformed and not engaged in the process. “Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed.” Hunch: I’m thinking Trump and his “Silent Majority” may push back on this just a bit don’t you think? Lots to unpack here but for now, here’s the clip.

Our interview was done Wednesday afternoon in Miami.

yes indeed! I love being a low information voter who is not engaged! Don’t you?

I survived in a very competitive work environment from competition and backstabbers in my organization because of my SW accent, I was perceived as inferior.

I'll see your "Cruz's wife" guilt by association and raise you "I like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer" wants to make deals with them, and Clinton friendship.

The above Trump associates are all actively engaged in promoting the forces of darkness.

I helped get CRUZ elected in Texas! I worked my butt off for that slimy jerk and his followers (esp the Yankee ones) want to tear me down now?

Nope. I will now work AGAINST all things Cruz. Period.

BOL! I mailed back my engineering degree to my alma mater this morning.

Some of younger low info Trump supporters/relatives might put a dent in health care in certain areas if they mailed back their degrees to their Alma Maters.

I will mail back my bs and MBA to my alma maters as a another stupid old Trump supporter!

We may need the help of some of those uber-intellectual Cruz supporters though. The really Christian ones. I’m not sure I can actually mail things anymore. May require me to be more ‘engaged.’ Clearly I’m not smart enough.

OMG, what would the world do if Cruz were not walking on the planet?!

If Trump actually represented a vast majority he would be nailing every Primary in the 75%+ range.

I did some fact-checking and expecting every Primary in the 75% range is just so way over the top. When Romney, in 2012, had a primary national average of 52% and in 2008, McCain having a 47% primary national average, your expectations are very unreal. Granted some may hit in that range but for you to expect Trump to hit 75% every time is very unrealistic based on previous history.

FWIW, It's that same Romney who took a dive so that 0bama could survive another term in office and further put our nation in peril. It's that same establishment Romney that is trying to help Ted Cruz win the nomination.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Oh I get it now. Cruz wants me to sell cookies if I care about the VETs. Here’s an example of that keen superior and snotty Cruz intellect the entire planet now depends on-—

Carly Fiorina killed 30k US Jobs, Destroying Compaq & HP, sold Missile Tech to Iran, said Cruz will say anything to get elected and even accepted $500K cash from Cruz...now on the Cruz bandwagon. Uh huh.

Oh but, sorry, I’m not engaged or anything.

“Listen, there are Republicans in Washington who are privately saying that (they would vote for Clinton) already,” Baier recently told TheWrap. “Maybe some don’t publicly say it, but I think there are some who are that adamant about it who would.”

This isn’t because they suddenly love Hillary. It’s because the establishment now sees this as a desperate fight for its own survival — one they can only win if Trump loses

Notice the establishment isn’t saying the same thing about Cruz Almighty!

Get a clue people. All I can offer is a clue because my degrees don’t qualify to get me in the popular girl Cruz clique of snobs.

Given the level of ignorance and self delusion rampant among the Trump supporters, it would be far preferable if they weren’t so engaged.

It's too bad your candidate is losing, but that's no reason to take it out on the supporters of the winner. If Cruz is nominated he's got my vote. It's probably going to be Trump but if it isn't Cruz is going to need all the Trump voters he can get.

Insulting them is just... dumb.

>>Yeah, I don’t follow how insulting Trump supporters is a way of “getting” them.

It’s the same way that Dominionist Cruztians spread the gospel: they talk about hell and how YOU are gonna burn and they close with “so you better get right or you’ll get LEFT!”

Same here. See my tagline and true confession.
