Why can’t you wait for the actual casting of votes?
How can we take you seriously?
Could very well be, but he’s doing one hell of a great job knocking out the current establishment. And being damned non-pc about it. And I appreciate that.
If it were not for Trump, Bush would be leading and Cruz would be struggling in single digit territory. Cruz has been drafting in Trump’s wake.
I disagree. Nobody wanted three Bush family members in a row as President. With or without Trump he would still be in single digits. If Trump hadn’t muddied the water Cruz would be running away with the nomination.

Possible but I don't think so. Cruz has been a politician most of his life in that he's worked
for them, or worked in gov’t jobs and been elected himself. Cruz is much like all politicians
they've never had to make a payroll, etc. Their money comes for the taxes rather than
goods/services and entrepreneurial activities.
Well, I could be wrong, but seem to remember the media and the GOP chattering class (Fox News, NR, et al) anointing Bush as the shoo in with possibly Rubio as a runner up. They have never been in favor of Cruz and that’s because he’s a constitutional conservative. They hate him and that’s not a lie. My first choice seldom wins the nomination. The establishment guy next in line usually gets it.
We will find out tomorrow who beaks the tie.
I was a Trump - Cruz fan.
But lately I’m a Cruz - Trump fan, meaning I favor Cruz now.
If Rubio had a firm history against illegals, I’d consider him, which makes Trump a better bet.
You are so full of crap.
You know Cruz going to pick up a new pair of briefs to replace the ones Donald Trump will soil tomorrow night as the returns come in.
I think Cruz may have managed to borrow and old pair of Ben Carson’s if Trump isn’t too proud to wear them.
Meanwhile, the only thing taking Ted Cruz away from South Carolina for a few hours is the funeral of Antonin Scalia.
“You know Cruz going to pick up a new pair of briefs to replace the ones Donald Trump will soil tomorrow night as the returns come in.”
Yeah, ok.
Wham! Pow! Bam!! How long did you wait for that? LOL
Reagan is the only time my first choice made it. You could include Goldwater but I was too young to vote. I’ve held my nose and voted for a bunch of ideologically weak nominees like Nixon, Ford, Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain and Romney. Trump will be another I will vote for only by voting against the democrat. It will make me sick to do it.
Despite all the vitriol and mud slung by Trump and a handful of his supporters where would they have gone if he hadn’t entered the race? I maintain they would have gone first for Cruz and Carson and since Cruz is the superior candidate he would have prevailed.
Trump as Chemo?
Well said post 92
We'll see. If Trump wins tomorrow, he might take the momentum in for a double whammy.
Dream on.
#1. So far less than 2% of delegates have been chosen.
#2. Trump will NOT win the SEC primaries or the primaries that follow after that. They all play to Ted Cruz’s strengths.
#3. Trump has the highest negatives of any presidential candidate in history. He will never be president.
Yeah same thing was said in New Hampshire. Wrong.
Same thing was said about Iowa. Right!
Using Iowa is not credible since Cruz stole it.
Chuckle!
Like Trump stole New Hampshire?
Yeah. That slaughter was stolen. Sure. Tomorrow we will see Trump winning. It’s just a matter of by how much. And I don’t care if it is 1 percent since he will get 29 delegates for winning the state. And then the rest of the delegates are given out to everyone eligible.
