Reuters rolling poll (Trump 38.4, Cruz 16.2, Rubio 10.8)

I attribute it to be a PK (Preacher's Kid). Having a father who is a Baptist Fundamentalist with dreams of Dominionism has to leave a mark.
Nah, no one seems to care about honesty and ethics anymore. Cruz must have hired Acorn advisors.
Yeah everyone on the opposite team goes home before the game is over.
The threatening emails and shame letter got me thinking he’s a conniving snake. No ethics. Typical lawyer.
I doubt it. American values is in the toilet. Cruz has gotten away with more then any candidate in history. He is not asked tough questions, he gets easy interviews, and no media negativity especially when it was deserved. If Trump spoke 40 minutes on absolutely nothing like Cruz did, he would be vilified all day today. What do we hear from the media? Crickets. I think the media knows that Clinton and probably Bernie can beat Cruz so why not allow him to be our nominee. So frustrating.
As it stands now I see three winning tickets.
Trump/Cruz A conservative dream ticket - GOPee nightmare ticket
Trump/Rubio A ticket that appeals to conservatives and GOPee
Cruz/Rubio A ticket that appeals to conservatives and GOPee
There are three more but they are extremely unlikely
Cruz/Trump Rubio/Trump Rubio/Cruz
The ticket that would get the most votes is Trump/Rubio IMO
Only tickets with Trump at the top will best appeal to Reagan democrats as Cruz has limited appeal for them IMO. I am unsure about Rubio’s appeal to Reagan democrats.
I think this is the same polling company that predicted Trump’s resounding victory over Cruz in IA. No, wait...
When you out and out cheat and steal the primary, it is easy to win.
Trump sours on Cruz, picks a running mate from out in center or right field, not necessarily from the current Washington denizens.
You like Sanders? How? I mean I’m really curious. You know he’s a socialst/ commie, right?
No offense meant. Or criticism.
It’s just in him. I was around for the Nixon era. He was pretty unlikeable too. I am reminded of Nixon by Cruz. Something dark about that guy.
Well, he is a lawyer! That’s right up there, or down there, with used car salesman in likability.
The only poll that matters is the poll taken the first Tuesday in November....
I’m for Trump. But I wish Rubio and Cruz were more credible on illegals, then I would have a “good problemâ€. Credibility goes to Trump on illegals AND economy, trade deals.
________________________________________________________
Yeah Cruz has been pretty consistent on illegals and help stop amnesty while Trump was pro amnesty a couple of years ago and now talks about touch and go legalization for illegals.
Tha is being consistent?
Really?
It’s a conviction issue. Trump seems credible, he has the gravitas to potentially follow through on immigration measures that are more extreme than anyone’s. Deportation, pause on Muslim immigration. Will Ted do those things? Are are they “too hard”?
Trump is a natural borders & language guy even though he has lived a sheltered existence immigration wise.
Cruz has done little while he has seen the problems working in different capacities for 20 years in Texas.
It’s the true third rail of politics…insiders like Ted/Marco have to play along, simple as that.
BUMP
The establishment would tell Rubio to pick a key state, older VP. Kasich most likely.
Good point. Cruz is from Texas. What the heck has he done to stop the invasion?
And why did Club for Growth, an open borders group, donate $705,000 to Cruz?
Hmmm....

And why did Club for Growth, an open borders group, donate $705,000 to Cruz?.....which most are retired and having nothing else to do
Hmmm....
someone will be along to call you a liar or explain the stegegery shortly....Just hold.....unless DC Cruz bots have called it a night.....which most are retired and having nothing else to do....hang on to to your bloomers then...
Do y’all know somewhere I can find a nice bullet list of all these things about Cruz that most evangelicals don’t know? I keep finding out new stuff every day, seeing snippets like that “Club for Growth” donation, but can’t find a list all in one place.
