No actually, it’s more than one poll, the polls in Iowa are starting to tighten up. Cruz is within the MOE in a PPP Iowa poll and a CBS battleground poll has Cruz in a close second to Trump. National polls don’t bother me one bit right now, voters haven’t voted in the primaries yet and a lot can happen between now and February. I like Cruz’s surge and he’s my candidate, so when he moves up and the front runner falls I’m not going to lie and say I’m not happy about it.
Even if Cruz got the nomination, he cannot win the general election in this climate. Why you don’t care about that is why Cruz is still and will be behind. He might win Iowa, but that will be all.
That said, if he is all we got I will vote for him, but I will not be pumped that he could win the general election.
Truth is, he will probably not win the nomination, especially without Trump’s help.
Cruz may actually have a shot at Iowa. I read somewhere that he started organizing to some extent two years in advance of announcing, if you can believe that.
But, as for me, I have not even considered anyone but Trump and plainly don’t care about the polls for anyone else. There is only one Trump, and I certainly understand polls will tighten, but I “ain’t” moving anywhere.
