But . . . but . . . Cruz has a secret plan, and he’s surging and he has volunteers . . . and . . . .
Wow. What’s going on with Cruz???
Cruz is focused on Iowa and S Carolina. New Hampshire is definitely conservative country. That said, while he has risen overall, but to me hasn’t demonstrated yet he could win over others outside of the conservative sphere. I think he’s gotten better with the campaign style, but has not shown a big enough of a personality to get around the media juggernaut. That’s the biggest pro for Trump, in my book. He’s not a die-hard conservative like Reagan, but he can circumvent the media like Reagan did. Probably even more so.
Cruz shot himself in the foot with his ridiculous senate action for a “heroic” moratorium (full of holes) to try and parrot Trump again, and it turns out to be an insult to our intelligence!
Sheesh. He may lose his little “surge” even in Iowa.
LOL, though granted, it IS New Hampshire, which I can’t imagine would be natural Cruz country.
Cruz has never made a move toward New Hampshire and anyone who has followed this race has known that. If he ends up in the top two in Iowa and ends up in the top three in New Hampshire, he will be set to continue onto South Carolina and the March 1st contests.
Endurance and survival is the important part of this race. Those who can’t end up in the top three of either Iowa and New Hampshire will be out of time, out of money, and out of the running.
And that includes Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Trump, Carson or anyone else. After Iowa, the New Hampshire polls will solidify dramatically and we will get a better sense of who will do well there.
Trump clearly has the lead right now, but a lot of candidates have flamed out in the last month before Iowa.
You are going to the Cruz is surging freepers all worked up. LOL!
New Hampshire isn’t Cruz’s state it’s never friendly to social conservatives. It’s pretty much Rino central.
Don’t be too hard on Cruz. He should win Iowa. NH is not Cruz country AT ALL, and he must know it - I haven’t seen hide nor hair of him.
We will have to put up with a week of “Trump is finished” after Iowa, and then he will blow the doors off here in NH. I believe Trump will win SC as well, and by the time he wins Florida it will either be all over OR the cheating to stop him will become intolerable and he will go New Second Party.
