Cruz being essentially tied at this point is very bad news for Christie. Christie is a liberal whose popularity will never be greater than it is now coming off his big reelection win earlier this month. Cruz is the best candidate and is going to eat everyone’s lunch during the debates. Just watch.
I’m definitely glad that Cruz is still up there in 2nd and was even surprised he does better against Hillary than most of the other Republicans. We know how fast these things can turn, just look how Romney’s poll numbers went above Obama’s after the first debate. It’s silly to worry that we can’t beat Hillary and worry about the polls against Hillary before we select our candidate.
