Cruz Bypasses Trump In New Attack And Goes Straight After His Voters

Cruz Bypasses Trump In New Attack And Goes Straight After His Voters- ‘Voters Who…’

Sen. Ted Cruz identified Wednesday what he believes is one of the main causes Donald Trump has outperformed in many of the Republican primary contests to date — low-information voters who are not really engaged in the process.

Cruz, who has made a hard play for evangelical voters since launching his candidacy, has been thwarted in the south by Trump, who has carried a surprisingly large percentage of those faith voters.

“If it’s not for evangelicals in the deep South keeping Donald Trump alive, you’re on your way to becoming the nominee. Would you agree with that assessment?” asked CBN’s David Brody.

“Donald has done well in the Southeastern states,” Cruz conceded. “He has had a good base of support. We’ve done well as well. We’ve been typically second in each of those states, and we’ve racked up delegates.”

“Listen, 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,” the Texas senator added. “Where we are beating him is when voters get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. He’s what they’re angry at.”

Ted is a condescending bully and lacks good judgement. His failures:

Supports Obamatrade

Supports TPP

Beck partnership

Voter intimidation flyer - Iowa

Carson quit campaign lie - Iowa

Associated Trump with KKK

Bush partnership

Calls Trump supporters are low information (voters)

Real smart there Ted. Since you just insulted and thus alienated all of Trump's supporters, why bother campaigning for Trump's supporters? You have effectively told them to go F-off.

Furthermore, he is not an original thinker, nor pro-active. In this campaign, he just copies Trump's platform and insults Trump's backers.. President Ted would make a great high school teacher. .

"Ted Cruz, huh? He's the poor judgement candidate."

Cruz will nominate whomever the GOPe and his Bush masters or Robert Mercer tell him to nominate. Cruz sold us out. As for any future vote for Cruz.....no sale!

Poor decision by Cruz campaign. Insulting entire constituencies breaks Cardinal Rule No. 1 in politics. Ask Mittens.

You are so ignorant & inbred that I’m truly embarrassed for you. You’re so stupid that you have no idea that everyone is pointing & laughing at you.

Now, go crawl back to your mommy’s basement before she discovers you’ve been using her computer.

That. was beautiful.

LOL, Cruz reminds me of a particular scene in Singing In The Rain.

Start at about 1:40 min in.

Funny how Cruz is calling those in the South who didn’t buy his holier than thou fake preacher act “low information.” They are the ones who were actually paying attention

“Sorry Trumpers if the truth hurts.”

So you think IQ is derived from affiliation?

Delusions are a lot of fun until reality intrudes. It takes a damaged person to think that the only reason folks don’t vote for you is because they are ill-informed and/or ignorant.

I might as well throw in this brilliant quote from another Harvard University grad (not Law School) named "Ted".

Ted Kaczynski ("The Unabomber")

I am pretty certain that the Cruz supporters will indeed work with the GOP to get Cruz elected. I now think they would work with OBAMA to get Cruz elected.
