Ted Cruz Ping! If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
CRUZ or LOSE!
Living in CA it’s usually over by the time I vote. This time I could see it being a three way race with Cruz, Walker, and either Bush or possibly Rubio if Jeb does poorly enough to drop out. CA could actually matter for a change.
Frankly I’d be good with either Cruz or Walker.
I agree with you and the author.
I hope they have a meaningful threshold for limiting debate participation.
Can’t have 10 folks on stage.
The politically astute move would be for Walker to negotiate with Cruz for the VP slot, and then do a joint announcement with Cruz. Lock up the base early and build some serious momentum. Cruz/Walker 2016, leads to President Walker in 2024.
Looks like Walker may have already scared Bush away from Iowa.
If Lindsay can peel off the establishment vote in South Carolina...
that leaves New Hampshire as the place Jeb has to break through
Just make sure we knock out Jebbie along the way.
Ted Cruz Ping! That ‘a the face off I’d like to see with the winner accepting the th other as a running mate.
Nice!!
As long as the GOP ticket doesn’t have the names Bush, Rubio, or Paul it’s all good.
~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~ Ted Cruz is the only true Conservative in this race and he is the ouly one that will get my vote. Period.
Great chance for Walker to show a lot of class and hand his endorsement to Cruz. Hopefully he does that.
I’ll be adding my few to his pile.
I give more credence to a poll carried out by a reputable organization instead of some individual person pontificating their opinions. Here are current 5 front runners:
FOX News Poll 5/9 - 5/12
13 Bush
13 Carson
11 Walker
10 Huckabee
9 Rubio
Candidates not gaining popularity and fading:
7 Paul
6 Cruz
6 Christie
Others such as Santorum, Fiorina, Jindal, Trump, etc
barely registered in this poll.
I’d go for a Cruz/Walker or Walker/Cruz ticket.
I support Cruz. However, national polling is irrelevant. How the candidates poll in the early primary states is a better indicator of their chances. By that measure the averages at RCP show:
Iowa: Walker has a firm lead.
New Hampshire: Walker leading.
South Carolina: Bush and Walker essentially tied.
Florida, no averages at RCP yet: My guess is that either Rubio or Bush would be leading there.
Few considerations:
1. Both Bush and Walker haven’t formally announced so their true support hasn’t been fully revealed.
2. Walker might have more fragile support given he still is a relative unknown to most Americans.
Another supposition: Walker or Cruz, but not Bush, might feel inclined to fit Rubio into the VP slot in order to better their odds in Florida and with the Spanish speakers.
