Cruz is not, has not been, and is incredibly not likely to be the front runner. All the wishful thinking in the world will not change this reality.

Automated reply:

Trump 3rd grader- ignore.

If Rich is nice to Cruz, I worry. I do not want a stealth establishment candidate.

You forget it is nearly 3 months till voting starts and how much can change in a day.
WB lost me, he will lose many others.

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.

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 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.

Maybe not the Frontrunner but it is a near certainty that he will move past Carson. And probably ahead of Rubio as well. You can take that to the bank.

The hard facts and reality. And what you stated are facts. The glaring fact is Cruz is not going to suddenly say anything different or deliver some miracle hypnotizing speech that will suddenly propel his numbers to skyrocket to the top, drawing tens of millions of Trump supporters to Cruz, causing Cruz to win the nomination

Regardless of what anyone thinks of this guy, it's simply not going to happen for Cruz. It's political pie in the sky.

He'll never catch Walker, that's for sure.
