Ted Cruz vs. Marco Rubio: This Is Where We Are Headed
Red State ^ | September 21, 2015 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 09/23/2015 7:30:33 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

The sharp and rapid rise of Carly Fiorina is, for me at least, another indicator that polling right now is volatile and flawed. I actually think if primary season started tomorrow, we’d find the last men standing would be Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 92%, with Cruz having a slight advantage — for now at least.

Politicians from Texas don’t advocate building the wall. Cruz really doesn’t want to build one. He talks about drones and electronic means and more BP.

They are to be legalized with an eventual path to citizenship. He has not moved from that position. Have you checked his website?

As I say, I will be listening for what Rubio has to say about this issue in the months to come, and if he's still in the race when it comes time to vote in the Missouri primary on March 15, then I will scrutinize his views on ALL the issues even more closely. For now, I'm for Cruz. And I like what I'm hearing from Rubio on a number of issues.

You are entitled to your opinion, just not your own facts. You need to get better informed on immigration.

I think Cruz will emerge from the cloud of dust left by all the other candidates crashing and burning (or just running out of gas), with the same strong conservative positions AND ability to articulate and defend them, and people will begin to realize that he’s the last best hope for this nation. Slow and steady. And right.

And no, I haven’t seen a unicorn lately.

I heard Rubio speak on the question of illegal immigration at the recent candidate forum in South Carolina. He spoke well about securing the border. He spoke well about tracking guest workers, so that they do not overstay their visas. He spoke well about ways to prevent and disincentivize employers from hiring illegal workers.


Marco Amnestio is a good liar. He said much the same during the Gang of Eight fiasco. Bottom line is he is not to be trusted.

I think he’s right about Rubio — I think the establishment media is about to do a big hard push for him because they realize Jeb isn’t going to make it. He also will be getting a big cash infusion from the power brokers, whoever they are.

Just a guess.

The reality is that Donald Trump will not be the nominee.

A big ground game means nothing if you can’t get voters. That is Ted’s problem.

He is in single digits for a reason.

Yeh Rubio is going rocket out of the toilet and jet past Trump. That’s called California Dreamin. :-)

Don’t care much for Rubio, he is another manturian candidate.

What he doesn’t have is....votes.

He hasn’t shown the ability to be able to reach a wide range of voters at this time.

None of the candidates has any votes yet. We're still a long way away from that.
