Go Ted!

Say, I like Cruz, supported Cruz before Trump got into the race, so hope you won't mind my re-posting a little graphic, especially after you have spammed so many threads with your little digital scorecard, I figure it all balances out, ok?

“Instead, Cruz hopes that Trump fades and that his decision to avoid attacking the front-runner means Trump’s supporters will move to him. “

And that’s where he loses.

Trump’s support is not malleable.

His base is made up of people that are part of a political movement/revolution. If he’s not there, those people (many of them independents and disaffected Democrats) vanish.

And the worse part is that it’s a candidate that avoided confrontation, allowed the other candidates to go after Trump and then flame-out, and then expects to play the “above it all” act into the nomination.

The biggest problem is that he cant pull that in a general election. He wont be able to find enough church ladies to turn a state to the red column, nor does he have the organization to actively contest the media wing of the DNC.

He also cant avoid attacking Hillary in hopes that she “fades”.

Cruz’s plan ? Draft Trump, hope the GOPe does enough damage to Trump so his support settles for Trump lite.

Not really a complicated deal.

How Ted Cruz plans to win

Hang around hoping someone better than him dies or kills themselves because he's not capable on his own merits.

It's not a winner's strategy, it's a loser's strategy

[Duchess47]

It’s a sad commentary on this country that the current leaders contain two out of the three who aren’t qualified to even be in the race.
