Explain to us how we get Cruz nominated when we haven’t been able to get one single Conservative past the Democrats and Moderate Republicans who vote with us in our primaries?

We haven’t been about to do that since Reagan in 1984.

I wish we could, but the idea we can is simply delusional.

Never mind the fact he’s polling @ 7% in the latest Quinnipiac national poll.

I know polls are not the be all to end all, especially this early. But Trump is leading by triple most of the other candidates (with some exceptions).

I know state-by-state polls are still accurate, but Cruz is not even winning in Texas, his home state.

I know good ground games win and Cruz is building his, but Trump hasn’t even begun to form his ground game yet.

I know Cruz has many smaller donors, but some are large enough to control the candidate to a degree. Trump is a billionaire and is not accepting large, corporate type donors. He has more freedom to speak his mind.

Cruz is still giving non-answer, answers, or answers that need parsing to understand. Trump has lead the way on telling it like it is, illegal immigration, trade deals, has the GOP and MSM befuddled and has sucked the oxygen out of the room for the rest of the candidates.

Ted Cruz is a lightning rod and has been in political office for the last number of years whether in Texas or the Senate. The top three candidates in most polls (Trump, Carson and Fiorina) have never held political office.

It’s a tough road to hoe.

We haven’t had a conservative like Cruz.

True, but I can’t remember a real conservative even trying since Reagan.

Yes, but the concept of open primaries is "retardet sir".
