Can’t we hold our fire and enjoy the GOPe spliting their vote between Rubio, Jeb, Kasich and Christie?
C’mon relax we go 60days+ to enjoy before anything gets too serious.
It is up to the Republican county chair to make sure his/her county election is honest. If you have concern about that, get in touch with your county chairman and see what he/she is doing to be sure their county election is honest.
As far as money is concerned in general, Cruz does have the money to go the distance already. He doesn't have the personal wealth of Trump but that much money - billions - won't be needed for this election. Trump would never spend his entire wealth to be president and it's not needed.
It's possible, but Cruz demeanor, logic, knowlege, and speaking style can win these people over.
The media demonization could backfire when people hear him speak for himself.
No, we don’t. They are desperate now. Trust me-—and it may not be very effective-—but the GOPe are now pulling out all stops to prop up Cruz until they can get Rubio wedged in there. Again, I’m not saying all, or even most of Cruz’s support is coming from the GOPe, but SOME of it definitely is. I repeat, you don’t get three puff piece stories on Cruz “surging” in NRO and National Journal in a single week without the GOPe pushing this. I have yet to see a SINGLE story in either about “Trump surging.”
“It is strange that it took so long for the evangelical Iowans to realize Cruz would be the one most likely to represent their values...”
If you checked the historical record of voting in Iowa, you would find many of those folks do not finally settle on a candidate until during the month of January.
Good pattern of growth for Cruz. Trend is consistently upward.
I started it? Really? I posted a view of your candidate you’re not comfortable with and I get hammered from all sides.
People on this site need to be able to defend their candidate, not attack the messenger.
Electability is always, ALWAYS a myth.
Trade principles for electability and you will lose. every time. If not at the polls, then in the resulting actions of the candidate once in office - a Pyrrhic victory, as they say.
Popularity is a distraction, and conservatives should be ashamed of themselves if that is their guiding motive.
yea it just seems weird to me this year— with all the coverage and the 20 million people watching the debates, that they should have figured out before now— That Cruz was their guy... I mean the people on this site had that figured out a long time ago...
CNN poll out today shows Trump at 33% in Iowa and Cruz at 20%. Not good news for Cruzers.
I wonder if they are still playing this Radio Ad against Cruz in Iowa?
.
But Trump has no reasonable hope of being President.
How could he ever overcome 63% of votes being for his opponent?
That’s a mountain Sir Edmund Hillary could never have climbed.
Rut rho! :-)

You are quoting from another liar’s article and attributing his absurd beliefs to Cruz.
You sir are without question a deliberate prevaricator.
You have no honor whatsoever.
.
Good!
If CNN says it we all know it is a lie of astronomical magnitude.
Well actually their polling criteria is likely Iowa caucus goers. A larger polling group than Monmouth also so its looking a lot like trump.
But we all pretty much already figured this out. Cruz and Rubio are duking it out for a distant 2nd and then with Carson still in it none of them are going to catch Trump. There is no place to pick up the votes from. Rubio and Carson are not getting out of the race until probably SC so its going to block Cruz’s ability to rise.
Trump is going to be a great President.
Cruz will win Iowa going away. Trump or Rubio will win NH. And then the race will be on.
Misread you, friend. My apologies.

In their very broad opinion.
Their “criteria” is whatever it takes to get the outcome they desire to portray.
