I wonder why Lindsay Graham wasn't on the ballot. I wonder what the results would've been had he been on it.

Perhaps, Greenville and Spartanburg aren't taking ol' Lindsay seriously...

Ted Cruz is Ronald Reagan, George Patton and Thomas Jefferson all in one Evangelical Christian package.

Ted Cruz has successfully argued before the SCOTUS ... won a 5-4 landmark decision on the Second Amendment ...



Ted Cruz calls "Radical Islamic Terrorism" by that same name ... will Ron-Rand Paul do the same ?

"NEVER".



Jeb Bush ?

A silver-spooned GOPe RINO-Liberal (less educated than Cruz) would be mincemeat in a GOP Primary debate against Cruz.



Typically, the political tactic against any "frontrunner" (such as Ted Cruz by Jan-2016) is for the other GOP candidates to gang-up against him in the debates.

That's a bad idea.



Remember when Newt Gingrich "eviscerated" Juan Williams during the 2012 GOP Primary debates (about black kids having a job at school) ?

Juan Williams NEVER challenged Newt again in that debate, nor did ANY OTHER MSM stooge make the mistake of trying to "embarrass" Newt Gingrich.

Ted Cruz will do the same to the other 2016 GOP primary opponents (one at a time) should they challenge him as a group.

It will not be pretty.



"Anyone" (Conservative or Liberal) who can win a landmark SCOTUS case is undisputably "brilliant". Period.

Neither Santorum, Huckabee, Ben Carson, Jindal, Trump, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, or Carley Florina (sp) chick has the "intellectual street cred" and PASSION that Ted Cruz has.



Again, Ted Cruz is Ronald Reagan, George Patton and Thomas Jefferson all in one Evangelical Christian package.

In 2016 that's otherwise known as "undefeatable".

I checked the Spartinburg website, and all I found about the poll was a blank ballot.

CRUZ BACHMANN

[American Constitutionalist]

They were straw polls at 2 GOP conventions in 2 of South Carrolina’s most populous Republican counties, Greenville and Spartanburg....

WE ARE SPARTA !

Anyway,

The heck with NH Ted Cruz will make his stand in South Carolina and take it all the way to the GOP convention.... GOD willing of course..

“Senator Lindsey Graham - 8 votes”

Stockholm syndrome. There is no other logical explanation.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Their own senator got 8 votes? Was his family there? LOL

[TexasFreeper2009]

It all makes since except that Carson is 3rd, that is bizarre.

Ted is doing well in New Hampshire too:

New PPP survey shows Jeb Bush in trouble in New Hampshire (Ted Cruz in 2nd place?!!)

Ahah! There he is. 10th, with 8 votes.

They aren't taking Lindsay seriously...

[Thorliveshere]

Sweet!

Looks like Cruz/Walker is shaping up rather solidly.

[American Constitutionalist]

Wow ! That’s welcomed news.

I already wrote to Jim Robinson to encourage him to consider writing up a full page article here on FR why Ted Cruz should be president.

I told him that Ted Cruz could use a little boost about now from FR and formally and officially endorse Ted Cruz for president before the field of GOP candates gets thinned out and deluted.

Please encourage Jim Robinson to formally and officially endorse Ted Cruz for president.

Ted Cruz could use a major endorsement about now.

FREE REPUBLIC CRUZ COUNTRY

Jeb Bush's $ 100 million dollar question:

Who does he target (Cruz or Walker) using the "second echelon" candidates as attack dogs ?

Clearly the answer is "pastor "little Ricky Santorum" whom Mitt (Willard) Romney used to help destroy conservative GOP primary candidates in 2012.



Ron-Rand Paul must be drinking heavily tonight (LOL) ....
