Rubio/Bushes are toast. This contest is between Trump vs Cruz. A two man race.
The huckster is clearly for Trump, wearing Trump tie and all. The huckster wants to take out Cruz in Iowa. This is a proxy war, but the attacks are only one-way for now. Trump is using his lapdogs like huckster to attack Cruz. In the meantime, Cruz is not fighting back.
Cruz needs to fight back.
Whomever the two hyenas are working for, the best thing Cruz can do is, as the bible says, heap hot coals on their heads, and continue to campaign as he has, only louder.
I do not think the republican primary voter is so stupid as to be played the fool again. I believe they know these two clowns are playing games.
Cruz should be careful not get down into the slop with them.
Teddy will be swimming the moat with knife in his teeth and he knows how to fight.
Bonus: He will do it without stomping his feet, swearing, name calling and generally showing his butt the trumpees so admire and love....
Most likely scenario.
“Cruz needs to fight back.”
You do not see him fight back on TV having a food fight like Trump does. He has a multitude of workers in Iowa and he goes there to talk first hand to the voters. He is going through the state in a bus shortly for a week, going to every county in Iowa. He has been going there over and over since he entered the race back in March, talking to individuals and he has pastors of churches there speaking for him, plus office holders doing that.
Has Cruz even hit back on defending his father this week? The father took quite a whack for his style of faith and it’s been crickets. Cruz was vociferous (for Cruz) in defense of his daughters, but nothing on the father, I think.
Cruz is more interested in IOWA and needs no extraneous waves created. Four weeks is a long time.
For 8 years we yelled and screamed for GWB to fight back, and he refused to do so. Now, Cruz is employing the same strategy - smiling and allowing others to define him. He’s very weak in this area.
