Ted Cruz Sets His Sights on Marco Rubio, Not Donald Trump, in New Hampshire
NY Times ^ | Feb 6 2016 | MATT FLEGENHEIMER and JONATHAN MARTIN

NASHUA, N.H. — Ted Cruz and his team are smarting over the attention paid to the third-place finisher in Iowa, Marco Rubio, joking that “bronze is the new gold.”

When Mr. Cruz fields questions from voters about Donald J. Trump, he often manages to attack Mr. Rubio anyway.

And at a raucous town-hall-style event here on Wednesday, Mr. Cruz seemed to startle the crowd when he called Mr. Rubio’s positions “virtually indistinguishable from Hillary Clinton’s.” As audience members murmured, Mr. Cruz laid out what he saw as Mr. Rubio’s betrayals of the conservative cause.

Regardless ot whether you agree or not, this site was an accurate guage for how many voters would stay home if Romney was the candidate. More will stay home if it’s Rubio this time.

The calling card statement of someone who doesn’t understand the primary system.

I don’t like Goldman Sachs because they helped the financial side collapse and then are awarded top positions n government under Obama.
I don’t hold them against Cruz as you suggested though.
As a matter of fact I had donated 4 ties to hid campaign and thought he was a great possible choice before his Iowa behavior.

Ugh.....the entire system near collapsed in 2008. Every bank around the world was involved in the packaging and selling of MBS that were guaranteed by Freddie and Fannie and insured by AIG.

It wasn't just Goldman. You would have to hate every US bank, even those that no longer exist like Lehman and Washington Mutual, as well as all the big European banks.

As far as the stole the Iowa thing.......since when is it an issue to re-tweet a CNN story that came from the Carson camp?

Furthermore, what serious candidate leaves Iowa early and announces no plans to go to the next TWO primary states?

Even further, have you seen any documented proof from any Iowan that stated he/she was lied to by the Cruz campaign and tricked them into voting for him?

More still, let's say that had an impact.....Carson was 15k behind Rubio so how many people do you think were duped and even if they were, why would 100% go to Cruz? Rubio’s campaign sent out the exact same tweet yet he gets a pass.

Come on dude, you have to move past the rhetoric and look to the facts.

these personal attacks hurt the attacker more than the victim. I want to see their position on what they are going to do about the deficit, military strength, and all the issues important to the electorate in as much detail as possible. If they to talk about the other candidates make it on their positions and how they differ.

I hate these personal smears. If you want my vote stand tall like a Mississippi pine- get out of the gutter. Character counts!!!
