I think I've got Cruz's campaign strategy down pat....he keeps getting lower and lower in the polls and has been in single digits through several debates.

So he counts the number of times his name appears on FR and on other web sites....then announces he's "surging" and is about to take the lead....hoping against hope he'll at last get the VP nod.

=====================================

Texas Gov Greg Abbott would be an outstanding VP choice.

<><> He beat abortion Barbie handily.

<><> Abbott took on the lesbian sheriff and said NO to sanctuary cities.

<><> Abbott is a leader who gets things done; he lead 26 AG's in the
successful legal fight to get Obama's heinous amnesty EO's out on hold.

<><> Abbott recently found the funding loophole that could prevent Obama
from forcing taxpayers to finance Syrian refugees squatting in the US.

Texas Gov Greg Abbott would be an outstanding VP choice.

Donald Trump, as you might expect, gets more coverage than warranted by his polling.

Is there anyone out there who buys this tiresome leftist style propaganda?

Where do you drag this s**t out of Vin?

Trump has been KO'ing everyone on the stage for 6 months, but somehow he does not deserve it?

Maybe you guys should just start strafing America with BS bombs.

Rich Lowry? No. Watch what he does if Cruz ever gets close

The jig is up on the GOP. Everything these guys do and say reflects the fear and disappointment in that fact, the truth means nothing

Since we’re talking about relatives - and the idea that Cruz’s wife’s employer is a disqualifier is pretty laughable - let’s talk about Trump’s sister. She’s a lefty loon.

THAT’S not the problem though. The problem is that Trump has said she’d be a “Great supreme court justice.”

My FRiends here...the single most important thing a president does is appoint supreme court justices. WHO do you trust to do that? Trump or Cruz.

Honestly?

It’s not that Lowry is for Cruz. He’s not.

Rush Limbaugh pegged it when he said Cruz is too conservative for some GOPers. We see it in action on this thread...Cruz has ‘em worried.

Shoot, recently I’ve even seen a few remark that he’s too Christian and his supporters too pious.

Yet Ted rolls on...things are getting interesting!

I don’t trust Trump as far as I can throw him. Not for anything.

I’ll stick with Cruz.

You sound like someone who took his talking points from Romney’s failed campaign.

Romney won the independents but the base stayed home. We need the base to win and we need the evangelicals. Some of us can’t seem to learn that lesson, though.

Wishful thinking on Lowry’s part. Fact is Trump has been the frontrunner since June. Cruz may win Iowa. If Trump wins Iowa, it’s over.

Trump 3rd grader- ignore.

When vinl has no argument, he resorts to insults. Typical lib response, don't take it personally.

Trump will win, so long a he stays in.
Cruz is poised to win if Trump drops out for any reason, and to be VP otherwise.

With the beating that Christians have taken in the past few years, the right candidate will have them beating down the doors of the polling stations before they open.

Honestly?

The ability to appoint supreme court justices first depends upon getting elected....

At least at this stage I don't think Cruz fits that portion of the equation. Now that
may change in a couple of months but time is rapidly closing the door. We'll
see soon and whomever it is I hope will do what is right.

The funny thing is, you guys say you’re absolutely sure Trump will be the nominee, yet you swarm every Cruz thread—especially the ones that have him advancing-—to shout that Ted doesn’t have a prayer.

Do you not see how transparent you are? You’re all practically clawing your keyboards...over that guy who’s supposedly no threat at all.

It’s clear WE aren’t the ones you’re trying to convince.

Rich Lowry dumping Carson for Cruz as the next Not-Trump. They know Cruz is wishy washy on immigration and on TPP. He’s the last gasp of the GOPe that still wants at least some of their goals to pass in order to please their evil Corporate and Globalist overlords.

I agree with you.

The chest-beating and hubris is comical. If they were so certain, it wouldn’t be necessary, would it. LOL

Ignore at your peril - a bunch of us “3rd graders” are going to elect your next President.
