One poll, does not a reversal make.

One poll.

Granted it is good, but Trump is strong and I think this is over-representing Cruz’s support.

Just my opinion.

This is all being engineered by all parties who must push Trump aside including the GOP. Sad, really, knowing that the GOP is working with Hilliary and the press to push him out. He is so refreshing and new - what we need in Washington, now!

One poll, does not a reversal make.

First, it ALWAYS starts with "one poll". Beats the heck outta "no polls".

Second, this is not a reversal. Trump's votes are Trump's votes. They are his. He might get some more. We don't know. Cruz' rise has NOT come at the expense of Trump. Some has come at the expense of Carson, some from "and the rest", some from people getting engaged for the first time.

As long as it is Trump vs. Cruz, the Establishment has no options they care for. The Cruz strategists figured on a four "lane" race converging into two lanes: conservative, libertarian, evangelical, establishment. Trump decided to build his own lane. Cruz has the conservative and evangelical lanes and is laying a claim to the libertarian lane. The Establishment lane is turning into an OFF RAMP, making room for the Trump lane merging into a new GOP.

I am both a Trump and Cruz fan. I think this is great news. Still will have the establishment GOP in twisted-panty mode.

I think it’s the proper order of things for now and is a very good sign that common sense is making a comeback!

Here we go again with the same old Cruz posters shouting arrogantly that he is going to win the nomination. Now all of a sudden national polls matter when last week they didn’t. As usual, Quinnipiac is the outlier. I didn’t see the Cruzers shouting from the rooftops about the Emerson poll just this morning showing Trump up by 15. Cruz is the new Carson in Quinnipiac.

This is the one accurate poll. All the others are biased against Ted.

That is not what they are saying on Planet Jeb!

That 1% uptick is good for fleecing a couple of million more out of the martini soaked brain numbed country club blue bloods.

Just axe ‘em.

The poll is called, "The Quinnipiac Trumpbash Poll" They have Sanders beating him head to head by 13... Were many of the later polls taken by a bunch of pothead college kids? The Sanders match-up seems to indicate that. They always have Trump low-mid 20s no matter what else is going on

12/20: Trump 28 Cruz 24 Rubio 12 Carson 10
11/30: Trump 27 Carson 17 Cruz 16 Rubio 16
11/2: Trump 24 Carson 23 Rubio 14 Cruz 13
9/21: Trump 25 Carson 17 Fiorina 12 Bush 10 Rubio 9 Cruz 7
8/25: Trump 28 Carson 12 Bush 7 Rubio 7 Cruz 7
7/28: Trump 20 Walker 13 Bush 10 Carson 6 Rubio 6

Quinnipiac is against Trump, and their bias makes their polls flaky

TRUMP: Vladimir Putin's praise is 'a great honor'


Business Insider ^ | December 17, 2015 | By Maxwell Tani

Republican US presidential front-runner Donald Trump is apparently "honored" that Russian President Vladimir Putin considers the real-estate magnate a "flamboyant" and "very talented" man.

"It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond," Trump said in a statement, according to Politico.

He continued: "I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect."

__________________________________________________

Ted Cruz on ISIS, Russia, Obama, missile defense, and the New START Treaty with Russia...

"If we want to actually dismantle ISIS, we need to dramatically change course. We need a real, robust campaign that maximizes our overwhelming air advantage.

We need to focus our efforts not on trying to create friends, but on supporting our real ones, especially the Kurds in Iraq and Syria who have actually had success against ISIS."

-snip-

"We can redouble our efforts to develop the defensive weapons that neutralized the offensive Soviet threat -- particularly missile defense, which has seen a 25% budget reduction under Obama, according to an analysis from the conservative Heritage Foundation, and has been constrained by bad arms deals like New START.

We should not only move quickly to install the canceled interceptor sites Putin opposed in Poland and the Czech Republic, but also to develop the next generation of systems that will only increase his discomfiture.

These options do not entail a ground war in Syria, yet would effectively shake us free from the failed policies that have brought us to our current impasse.

These options set us on a new path that puts Putin on notice that the United States is reclaiming our traditional role as leader of the free world."

http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/09/opinions/cruz-syria-putin/index.html

**********************************************************

"I think it would be a mistake to get involved in the Syrian civil war. There have been voices in Washington eager for us to send our sons and daughters over to fight that civil war for some time. I haven't been one of them. I think the touchstone of U.S. military policy should be protecting the national security of this country."

"What we're seeing Putin in Russia do is a direct response to the profound weakness of Obama over six and a half years.

Putin views Obama as weak, as ineffective, and frankly, as a laughingstock. And, as a result, he is moving in, he is invading his neighbors, like Ukraine, he's kidnapping Estonians, and he's moving into Syria to gain a stronger foothold in the Middle East."

https://www.tedcruz.org/news/icymi-cruz-we-have-no-business-getting-in-the-middle-of-the-syrian-civil-war-goal-should-be-to-defeat-isis/

**********************************************************

Ted Cruz:
"We need a coherent plan to address both the specific crisis in Syria and the challenge posed more broadly by Putin's resurgent Russia.

The good news is that America still has options, if our leaders can summon the will to exercise them.

For starters, in Syria we can't double down on the failed strategies that have given Putin his opportunity to intervene.

We are now two years out from President Obama's proposed intervention after al-Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. ..."

Trump leads only because of the split among several candidates who need to drop out including Jeb Bush. We need Cruz as the only serious, intelligent, and electable candidate to take the lead. At some point this Trumpoonery-Buffoonery needs to end and given his high negatives, he is losing to Hillary by a whopping 11 points. This Republic simply cannot endure the nightmare of a Hillary win.
