Ted's strategy has been in place for a looooong time.
All of these national polls will mean nothing if Cruz wins. He will run away with Iowa, and after that, everything changes.

"........ [Ted] Cruz, who is 41 and has never held elected office, staked out more extreme positions than the 66-year-old Dewhurst, a career politician who has presided over the Texas Senate as Lieutenant Governor since 2003.
"My touchstone for every question is the Constitution," Cruz said, adopting the refrain commonly heard from Tea Party supporters.
".....Cruz went on the offensive against Dewhurst on illegal immigration-a key issue in the state that shares the longest stretch of U.S.-Mexico border-calling attention to Dewhurst's 2007 support of a guest worker program for the state's undocumented immigrants, announced at a speech in South Texas.
Cruz called the guest worker idea more expansive than President Obama's decision to call off deportations for immigrants without criminal records who came here illegally as children-a policy that Cruz opposes and called "illegal."
Dewhurst, who has taken a more pragmatic approach to the issue of illegal immigration, avoided clarifying whether he currently supports such a program.
Cruz also distinguished himself from Dewhurst with his full-throated support for a border wall estimated by the Department of Homeland Security to cost $7.3 billion, or $6.5 million per mile.
Cruz defended the border wall proposal even if it meant expropriating private property-a position that the debate's moderators, WFAA reporter Brad Watson and Gromer Jeffers of the Dallas Morning News, said contrasted with Cruz's message of fiscal conservatism.
"One of the specific powers and responsibilities of the federal government is to secure the borders," Cruz said. "Property can be taken with due process of law and just compensation."......

Figures.

Thanks for linking.
Great ad!
He donated to republicans and democrats, and he was not a politician at the time in a liberal city. We can all argue all day long about who is a patriot or conservative. You can all stay home and pout in the general election after Trump wins the nomination and he will still win in a landslide.
Trump has charisma and a plan. Cruz would be a great VP but he has no clout and hasn’t accomplished anything since he has been in the senate. NOT ONE THING. If Cruz had charisma and leadership he would have swayed more people to his side like Reagan did when he was president. People are looking for a LEADER, someone who can reverse the communism and infiltration of muslims into our government. Cruz is almost silent on muslim immigration. Cruz is weak on these things compared to Trump.
If Cruz had more of a ballsack instead of waiting for Trump to clear the path for him on every issue, I would see him more as a leader. His main strategy is to wait for Trump to implode and then reap the windfall of Trump voters. Is that a leading and winning strategy????????
One more thing, the same comments apply to WALKER. Just wanted to get that jab in there for CW. Look at your complete failure of a candidate now. This is what will happen if Cruz were to win the nomination through some miracle. FAILURE. He needs to be VP or AG, he is not ready for POTUS.

There is a word for being a loudmouth and a bully, and it's not charisma.
But today, Ted Cruz, as a full-spectrum conservative, is the best representative of DH's position on the border IMHO...
“Trump was still supporting Hillary and Bill Clinton with praise and lots of money when Cruz was fighting for our borders.”
Yep, and Cruz was also taking hit from BOTH parties for taking a stand against Obamacare funding, leading to the intransigence from Reid an Obama enroute to the government shutdown.
You’re full of it. Google is your friend.
Are they using Morro can immigrants.
Hey shit head, that’s the video I was beating you over the head with. Your lie collapsed when Pete Sessions said he supported the Cruz Amendments because they killed the gang of 8 bill.
Now go find some pictures of Rump to masturbate to.
I meant to do that.
LOL
"My touchstone for every question is the Constitution," Cruz said
We know this is true as well. Amazing that he doesn't enjoy unanimous support on this pro-God, pro-Constitution, pro-America site.
So he was lying then? Or is he lying now? Inquiring minds want to know.
Couldn’t resist. Lol.
