... in the same polls, Ted Cruz is viewed as the candidate willing to tell you everything you want to hear so long as it benefits him. Thats the authenticity issue. Just as there is a long-term benefit in positive authenticity polling, there is a long-term detriment in negative authenticity polling.
Opinions of authenticity are almost impossible to change once they embed. The word almost is an understatement, because no politician in modern times has ever been able to reverse the authenticity component.

I’m loving this great Trump news, but this was already/recently posted.

Time to squish the teddy bug.
It’s hard to convince people you are authentic when they know you are a Cubanadian and not a natural born citizen.
Sorry! I searched for the article in 4 different ways and it did not turn up!
LOL...I copied and pasted the entire title into the search bar...and....Voila! there it was.
I think FR Search acts up, from time to time.
Disappointing to see supporters of Lyin’ Cruzifer defending stopping people from voting.
Even Iraqis voted and their purple finger kept it honest.
See, Trump will probably be tossing in the towel by the end of the week. /s
Isn’t this what WE ALL have been saying Cruz LEAGAL speak is just awful!!! Parsing EVERY WORD, everyday folks are SICK TO DEATH of this political speak!!!! Cruz is as phony as the day is long, most people can see through this crap!!!!
I searched by “cbs” ,”battleground”, “authenticity”, and “dogging.” You would think something would pop up. Interestingly, an article did pop up when I searched by “dogging”. Still you would think the article would have popped up with these search word. “dogging” is not that common in a title so I thought if that did not pop up for sure it had not been posted!
I think that voters (not biased party delegates) are beginning to perceive Ted Cruz not as a Washington outsider, but rather an established party insider completely conversant with the ins and outs of Republican Party insider politics.
My personal preference is for a candidate I perceive as a legitimate outsider, not one who plays one. The end result remains to be seen whether Donald Trump or Ted Cruz can best convey that sentiment to the voters.
Personally, I don’t give a flying flip doodle about ACU ratings, the exigencies of getting nominated within a complicated set of 50 state’s rules, or explanations of past political actions. I am interested in disestablishing the GOP establishment and their incessant second-tier cowardice in the face of a bunch of Democrat would-be tyrants.

It goes deeper than that.
People simply loath lawyers and Cruz is acting like the worst of the worst.
“Even Iraqis voted and their purple finger kept it honest.”
Maybe Trump should run in Iraq!
Yes! But when you search by individual words in the title like “dogging” it simply does not show up. Not sure how the FR search engine works.
There is another factor, not sure how much impact it has but Cruz supporters I personally know switched to Trump after Super Tuesday. As far as they were concerned Cruz was out, whether he chose to believe it or not.
I have not noticed that trend here on FR but in my circle of family and friends it happened.
What a bunch of tripe.
Sites like this have no credibility. It’s beyond amazing anyone would even click on the site.
I haven’t read such biased articles since I stopped reading the NY Times back in the “70”s.
Crap, that is all the Conservative Treehouse is. Dog crap.

He’s not just acting. He really IS the worst of the worst.
