Yep, send the GOPe to Hades.....
Well, it’s novel. I guess if you have the opinion that 1) pandering to independents hurts you with the base and other voters who might agree with or at least respect you, and 2) “independents” as typically defined are a bunch of wishy-washy know-nothings who don’t pay attention until the week before election day, then this might have a shot.
I don’t like how Fox is slanting this. If there’s a group Cruz tells to GTH it’s those who don’t follow the Constitution.
Cruz it or lose it!
Obama won by expanding the size of his base, not by pandering to the scourge of politics, “Independents”.
Support Ted and he’ll Cruz to victory!
The Cruz strategy is so bad that even Warren is imitating it now. Actually do what you said you would in campaign speeches, what a stupid think to do. Actually be honest with the American people. Silly fools.
Why does the media assume that independents are liberals? Many moderates and independents are conservative on some or most issues and lean conservative on others. After all, conservatives outnumber liberals in this country in every state except Hawaii and the cesspool of liberals, Washington, DC. Conservatism is the dominant philosophy in America, but not in the media or federal politics.
Hey Eliana, as opposed to the GOPe strategy as articulate by Mitch McConnell: “To HELL with Conservatives”?
Independents are sheep. They just want a strong leader.
If that doesn’t satisfy Freepers I don’t know what will but somehow I just know there will still be a percentage that STILL won’t be happy.
I can't think of anything good coming from the Republican "inside" group that shuns Sarah Palin.
Rupert Murdoch is a big Hillary donor. He will make sure Fox slants everything to boost Jeb Bush as the GOP candidate because he will be easy for Hillary to beat.
I really doubt the elites will allow Cruz to get the nomination. They have their own candidates in play.
This independent is a rock hard conservative that cant stand the establishment GOP. I doubt if I am alone.
This is actually the greatest strategy. These so called independents ARE the sheep. They believe whatever you tell them but they MOSTLY have conservative values. Tell them the conservative message WITH conviction and passion and they will vote for Cruz en masse.
Ordinary working class Republicans, Independants and Democrats have been abandoned and are being abused by the Elites of both parties and these voters from across the political spectrum who have been the backbone of America are fed up and looking for a politician who speaks for them
There are two on the national scene - Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin and one who is below the radar screen in Wisconsin - Scott Walker.
Right...The problems of America and the issues are so clear cut that the whole idea of a person calling him/herself ‘Independent’ is laughable.
‘Independent’. Really?
No one in their right mind ISN’T real clear about their position by NOW.
