Ted Cruz Eats Into Donald Trump’s National Lead

If 80% of Freepers are supporting Trump, then Conservatism is deader than a door nail.
I am still dumbfounded at the support Trump gets on FR.

Take it up with the Boss:

"Don’t look now, but Trump is the only anti-establishment candidate left running. The GOPe is now backing Cruz to the hilt and he’s doing their bidding. Fiorino has come out for the GOPe big time, and is throwing all her schoolmarm charm Cruz’s way. Rubio’s a fricking amnesty traitor and Kasich is all in big government GOPe.

Thankfully, Carson has seen the light and so has Sessions and they’re backing Trump.

Cruz has let his ambition get the better of him and has lost it. He’s been thoroughly indoctrinated, corrupted and absorbed by those we’re fighting against. He’s now fighting with the GOP and the establishment political class against We The People.

And unfortunately, some of our very own have been unwittingly sucked into the GOPe vortex."

Cruz will win - if not on the first ballot, then the second.

Sure John.

[mkjessup]

The thing is noob many of us cruzbots have been her a lot longer than you trumpanzee, 15 years in my case.

How have you managed not to strangle yourself with your own shoelaces? Surviving 15 years with a room temperature IQ is quite the feat.

Laugh while you can, fool.

You'll be eating those words come Wednesday morning Johnny boy.

[uncitizen]

So Washington Times is being dishonest?? Shocking.

>> Show me a poll where Cruz does better than Trump among Independents and "Reagan" Democrats and you may just make me a convert. <<

Virtually every poll out there confirms that Cruz would win over more Independents in a general election than Trump would, and that he can beat Hillary while Trump cannot. Polls have consistently shown Trump has the highest unfavorable rating of any Republican and he has the worst numbers in a general election matchup. Here are numerous examples:

So, when will you be converting to the Cruz camp?

Look at the rallies for yourselves. The thousands and thousands at the Trump rallies are proof of how Trump is doing. The only thing that would change that is VOTER FRAUD in every form and rigged voting machines.

Exactly!

Cruz has his head so far up the Bushes’, the only thing he eating is guacamole.

Which polls are those? The RCP average has Trump losing to Clinton by 6.3% outside the MOE for 7 polls. Your puffed self importance does make me laugh. Thanks

[Enlightened1]

Wow it must be 48 hours before a vote?

We always get these Trump is doomed poll. Then about 24 hours later, to maintain their credibility of what little they have left, then we will get a more realistic poll.

Please see the link below,

Real Clear Politics has Trump up in Illinois and Florida, winning in North Carolina, up in Ohio and my bet Trump is winning in Missouri.

Notice how you took my quote about Cruz and Trump head to head and changed it to Hillary. I can feel your delusions and desperation.

[Dstorm]

My mistake, I read post 2 as 1 and thought you were responding to that. As far as the rest of your post, I recommend a physiatrist, you sound like you have the first stages of dementia.

[Gator113]

With a little luck, after this Tuesday, we should be able to say bye-bye to Cruz.

Oh heck, why wait.... bye-bye Cruz.

~~Go Trump Go~~ ~~Go Trump Go~~ ~~Go Trump Go~~

Using FR Cruz supporter logic.
Cruz only got 43.8% of Texas primary votes.
The rest of the candidates got the rest 56.2.

Cruz= Loozer

Hello,

Thank you.

Even Jim Robinson can make mistakes.

JMO, but selecting Trump will be the last big mistake the GOPe will make. Social conservatives like me will find a third party. The GOPE will lose us permanently.

The country is lurching hard left. Trump will not reverse that lurch. Until power is ripped away from both parties, ripped OUT OF WASHINGTON, DC, the decline will continue.

Trump loses to Hillary big time

Hillary had Sanders beaten in the Michigan poll by 17 points. The actual vote was a 27 point swing and she lost big time!! Take the polls and shove it.

[Dagnabitt]

Trump will bring in some new voters. I have no doubt about that. Will those be enough, however, to make up for the drubbing he will take among white women, hispanics and blacks. I don't think so and every poll suggests the same.
