Cruz can’t win the south. We just saw it.
Was this written before or after the Glenn Beck anointing priest speech?
Cruz has become the establishment’s candidate.
Not the profile of a “conservative”.
Not any more.
Difficult to understand how Mr. 17% wins swing states of FL and OH in November. But perhaps Team Cruz has a different electoral path to victory? Someday it will be revealed to us.
You saw the south with 4 or more candidates. One on one with a dem is a different story.
Consider the source.
Math is lost on some folks.
Seriously!
The polls told us Trump was done at 20%
He was done at 30%.
He was done at 40%.
He is now done cresting 50%.
And now he is done because the polls tell us he cannot win against Hillary. Dream on!
“Cruz cant win the south.”
Any Republican takes the south. Presidential elections don’t hinge on the south.
Frankly he’s the only Gope candidate running. So seriously give it a rest.
#2 You clowns have to STILL keep citing these absurd head-to-head polls for a fall election way back in the spring, as some unassailable marker of whom should be the nominee while having to continuously have previous head-to-head polls from previous elections that absolutely did not mirror the final result.
For some bizarre reason that I guess can be found in Mormon prophecy, you think the race is a static thing whereas you can poll in March, and BOOM, that is the election right there?
#3 Let’s not forget the string of previous talking points that you guys beat into the ground to go along with your new UT poll toy:
Momentum from Iowa favors Cruz
South Carolina favors Cruz
Southern evangelicals favor Cruz
SEC primaries favor Cruz
Debates favor Cruz
If we can just have closed primaries, then THAT will favor Cruz
Rubio will definitely take down Trump, and then Cruz will romp!
Whomever wants to win will have to become this site’s definition of an ‘establishment candidate’. There is no winning the general election without some level of support from the party.
It also got us McCain and Romney, and look how well that turned out. The "Most Conservative Candidate Who Is Electable" generally isn't.
Exactly right. Cruz is toast on the west coast, the northeast and the upper mid-wet.
Cruz Nomination = President Clinton.
National polls are totally worthless. Cruz has already shown he cannot beat Trump in any swing state ... he would loose badly to Hillary.
So the guy that lost several key states in 3rd place, will magically garner the excitement to win against Hillary.
Why? Because reasons?
Dont forget that Bill won southern states in 92 and 96. Dont act like Hillary cant either because Cruz can talk with a country twang and say Jesus a bunch of times.
I heard on FR that Ted was “wildly popular” in California.
That he was going to win the primary AND the Nov election there.
Hillary will be in jail. And keep insulting people over their religion. That always works well winning converts. Maybe call him a liar a few hundred times too.
You mean the National Review that hates white, middle class Americans? No thanks ...Ill pass.
