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!
“Yet Ted rolls on...things are getting interesting!”
See the five day rolling Reuters poll? He’s not even in double digits. He’s just above Jeb.
Yes, he’s conservative. Yes, he’s Christian. Yes, he’s very bright. Yes, the sun rises and sets over him. But he does not have broad appeal outside of FR. In order to win the GENERAL election, not the Iowa caucus, he has to connect and appeal to wide swath of voters, some not conservative, some not overly religious, but all dam* worried about where we’re headed as a country. Trump had 10,000 people last week at an event in Massachusetts....he had “tens of thousands” at an event today. He’s appealing to a much broader audience with a Put America First message. He’s the first one to hit on illegal immigration...trade....now on to 2nd Amendment and keep unvetted refugees out. He’s steps ahead of the media, his detractors and the other candidates. What’s Cruz’s message? How is it different or better than Trump?
Trump is leading the next closest challenger now by 10 points nationally (I know, there are some state polls that show a variety of ratings, but the vast majority are all trending Trump big)...and unless Trump absolutely goes off the rails.this is Trump’s to lose. Cruz would be an outstanding 2nd term Senator, VP (maybe), AG in a Trump admin, or on the SCOTUS.
I never though I would see the day where "too" conservative or "too" Christian would be a negative on this forum. The times they are a changin'.
