Anybody who watched all of Ted Cruz's far too long, rambling, overly flamboyant speech last nite would say that was his Howard Dean moment!
me too. It would be nice if they would focus on Rubio as would their voters , but alas they won’t and I suspect this is all being fueled by the establishment media and a certain few on here.
there’s been a lot of small donations.
you already have a long list of deep enders :)
i’m not one of them.
Free Republic, the Vets, and my cousin’s illness, Cooley’s Anemia
I was never for him because of what you described. It will lose the general election.
Cruz spent 2 years and big bucks to win Iowa. Donald spent only 300 dollars per vote. Cruz spent 600 dollars per vote. Who really won for that 1 delegate. And Cruz probably would have gotten some love this week from the media but instead of talking about Cruz positively they are discussing the speech length and mess of it.......I don’t think that was Cruz’s objective.
All that being said - I think Cruz had his reasons for rattling on and on. He was getting FREE political airtime from the networks. It was actually funny how Fox had to keep showing it on and on. And had to tape delay Hillary's speech. And by individually naming and thanking some of his many supporters in the field - I gotta think that really helps motivate his other supporters out there in the field as he goes on. Probably a smart move overall. He actually finally got some free air time like trump has always been getting.
the color orange creeps up on ya
No, it's another one of those internet optical illusion things.
Stalled at the gate.
Going to be interesting to see his next rally.
I like Cruz and he was right to take advantage of the chance to give a victory speech. It may be a while before he gets another chance.
No, Donnie boy... Dean’s moment was a crushing defeat, followed by a screaming rant.
Get over it, loudmouth.. you lost.
I think Cruz is overcome with evil. So, what’s your point:? I delegate difference. And, their 3 electoral votes will go for the commies in the general. It doesn’t matter. The so-called evangelicals will vote for pro-abortion, baby killers in the general. SO much for their morals.
I’m feeling the same way.
Agree.
One views this comment by Mister Trump as the very model of the inverse of being statesmanlike, having wisdom, or...ahem... acting Presidential, n'est ce pas?
.
now he’s squeezed between Cruz and Rubio who has nipped his heels.....
..and got all the media coverage his over-combed self could ever wish for.
It only works in Iowa. He got 1/3 of the evangelical voters, and that’s something to crow about? What am I missing here?
The only thing I dreaded about reading anything today, was the idiotic notion that it was a landslide, which it clearly was not.
As to Trump’s tweet, I’m guessing it’s the whole ‘I’m in tight with God’ thing Cruz keeps putting out there. Other than that guess, I have no idea!
I am a Cruz supporter and agree. It was a really long and dull victory speech. A Howard Dean moment???? Not so much.
