The Cruz/Trump wars are killing both candidates and moving Rubio up to prime Romney position. Here's the poll from PPP to be released tomorrow:
Trump 25 Cruz 21 Rubio 21 Carson 11 Jebra 5 Kasich 5 Rand 5 Christie 3 Fiorina 3 Gilmore 1 Santorum 0
Rubio is calling on the party to 'consolidate' (guys behind me drop out and endorse me).
The MSM is laughing about the Trump vs. Cruz war and encouraging it -- Karl Rove on Fox tonight telling Trump he was right; Trump did steal Iowa; go sue over it and keep imploding pursuing it.
This is a calculated destruction of the insurgency candidates by the GOPe.
Unfortunately, as can be seen on this board, Trump and Cruz are playing into the hands of the Uniparty right now.
If you can get to Trump or Cruz, tell them to talk and go back to fighting the real fight - against the Washington cartel - and not killing off our chances for a non-amnesty candidate.
“HALF of New Hampshire voters make up their minds who to support in the 5 days before the vote.”
And just how do you know that?
I don’t agree. Palin is an example of a Trump voter. She’s hardheaded, sure, but I think Cruz is the only other one in this primary who she’s ever endorsed for office.
“If Trump supporters really don’t want Rubio, now is the time for them to move to the real conservative ... Ted Cruz.”
But I refuse to vote for a sleazy lawyer from Texas!
As much as he's self-destructing a bit, Trump still has the ability to almost run the table if too many stay in.
The last poll I saw had Cruz in second place in New Hanpshire. I thing you need to renew your subscription to reality.
“Not only that, but Trump voters have nowhere else to go but Cruz.”
Oh really? time was that I could have done that, but after yesterday, no way!
It was Cruz that got killed today on every network. CNN destroyed him and even Karl Rove spelled out how Trump and Carson were ripped off by Cruz. It was brutal and its not over. I thought Trump was great tonight on Greta. He was classic Trump.
You’re right 100%. PPP is an outlier.
I won’t stay home.
I support Trump, and I also believe that he is doing damage to himself right now.
I don’t trust Cruz, and I pretty much hate everyone else.
But in the end, I gotta vote for whoever wins the nom.
I can’t tolerate Sanders or Clinton. Can’t do it.
Even if Jeb wins it...
And to Trump, you don’t have to address every slight. You don’t have to fight everyone who looks at you wrong.
Doing so makes you predictable and gives others the power to control you.
Right now you are being controlled.
The fact is the polls have shown that in a 2-man race, Cruz and a lot of other candidates beat Trump. Trump is unpopular nationally and within the Republican party. He just has the highest plurality now but he has no path to getting over 50%. Cruz is the only one who has a chance to beat the establishment. Carson and Trump staying in are helping give Rubio a solid chance of winning.
Cruz did something yesterday to nullify everything he’s done in public life before?
The GOPe hate Cruz more than Trump. They’ll never fund his campaign. They’d prefer Hillary.
How do you run with no money? It takes a billion now to run for President.
If Trump were out tomorrow, his support wouldn’t all go to Cruz. Some would stay home - as will Cruz when and if he is out of the running. It’ll fracture many places.
Trump is first and going lower. Cruz and Rubio are tied at 21 in that latest poll.
Karl Rove wants Trump and Cruz killing each other so he gave Trump a dagger to keep stabbing.
The MSM and Uniparty hate Trump, Cruz, and Carson and are knocking them off one by one.
Trump had a twitter meltdown and Fox - where conservatives watch - spent half the night bashing Trump as a sore loser and imploding.
Agree with this
oh BS there are quite a few reputable polls showing Trump beating Hillary head to head..
you don’t know how to read statistics
If Trump wins New Hampshire it changes the whole ballgame again.
“Cruz did something yesterday to nullify everything he’s done in public life before?”
So tell me, just what has Cruz really accomplished? (aside from telling the world he’s a conservative) What meaningful legislation has he passed under his name? He sorta reminds me of Ron Paul, yeah, he’s there and you hear him talk, but he’s not accomplishing much if anything! And actually, with this Congress, that might be acceptable, but I’m not into “winning with whatever it takes,” even when that involves dishonesty.
Agree. But needs to be a solid win. Over 5 points. That changes the narrative a bit.
Long few days ahead!
I’ve laid out exactly what the Uniparty is doing and how it is using the Trump/Cruz animosity to its benefit.
Maybe someone with the campaigns will figure this out!
It is, good for Cruz? Cruz is at 9% in the newest NH poll out this afternoon while Rubio is 10 and Trump at 31. Check RCP NH its there.
“Not only that, but Trump voters have nowhere else to go but Cruz.â€
Oh really? time was that I could have done that, but after yesterday, no way!
As a Cruz supporter how much do you think Trump’s antics today helped to win over my future support?
