Premature or prophetic? While analysts tried to figure out who had a "ticket" coming out of New Hampshire, Ted Cruz told Salem's Mike Gallagher that only two tickets exist -- at least in first class. With a win in Iowa and a surprising third-place finish last night, Cruz warned the Republican Party that he's the only one in the field who can dethrone Trump:
"South Carolina historically has played a critical role picking presidents. And I think Iowa and New Hampshire perform an incredibly important function in narrowing the field and in many ways this field is becoming a two-person race between me and Donald Trump," the Texas senator said on the Mike Gallagher Show Wednesday. "What Iowa and New Hampshire demonstrate is that the only person in this field who can beat Donald Trump is me. The other candidates are not able to beat Donald Trump."

No. YOU get back to me....crawling on your hands and knees, when Trump, ONCE AGAIN, wins this primary in S.C., which he shall!
Again, you’re trying to conflate the voters of the open primary in the state of New Hampshire into being the voters of South Carolina and other Super Tuesday states by repeating the same talking point while excluding Iowa on the basis that Trump losing that state’s primary excluded it from consideration. You seem to begrudge the notion of letting voters like me cast a vote in my states primary all the while assuring me I’m a Trump voter based on your demographic transference scheme.
Oh, the irony is pretty thick here regarding an immoral huckster (using eminent domain private property grabs, buying and bribing politicians admittedly, and violating Federal Laws by knowingly hiring illegal aliens) by candidate sleaze who never fails to reach into his bag of ad hominem attacks while offering detailed healthcare plans of “something terrific” (no joking, that was his healthcare proposal).
I don't know why you keep making this obnoxious, false, and stupid point. Helllooooo, if we take the moderates out, if we take the independents out, if we take the Democrats out, Trump still wins. Are you stupid or suffer from a mental disorder or what?
Don’t be an idiot, O care is dead when cruz gets elected. Trump has already said the government will pay for EVERYBODY to be covered! What a fool.
>> We just may get our wish.
Some here think that only half that wish is worthwhile.
Great pic.
No, the stupidity here is your Marco Ruboto routine of repeating the same premise in response to my rebuttals. Your claim that the voters in the New Hampshire primary in a Blue State in the northeast can be conflated to being the voters of South Carolina and other Super Tuesday states is frivolous and when cross referenced with Iowa it becomes falsifiable. We can further test it a week from Saturday if you’ll wait for voters to go to the polls rather than trying to tell them they’ve already voted for Trump.
Iowa doesn't have a primary, open or otherwise. Surely you knew that. Iowa has a caucus, which most states don't use.
Most states have primaries, and it is Donald Trump who won the nation's first GOP primary of the 2016 election cycle. In any event, Cruz's victory in Iowa's caucuses resulted, apparently, in little or no momentum for Cruz in New Hampshire's primary. That should be of deep concern to Cruz supporters.
We will soon see whether Donald Trump's victory in the New Hampshire primary has given him any momentum for South Carolina's primary.
Setting aside wishful pronouncements regarding "conflating" and "talking points", I suspect that the SC primary results will probably be quite similar to the New Hampshire primary results, at least on the GOP side...
You are stupid. It is not a premise. It is a fact. You keep trying to claim that Trump just won because it was an open primary with democrats and independents. It's a fact that Trump won Iowa with every demographic, including with Evangelicals and conservatives in general.
I heard several talking heads saying the same thing, that no one else really has a path to winning besides trump and cruz.
...Don't waste a vote on Cruz the GOP establishment will never let him get the nomination. I know the story line today is that the GOP establishment doesn't want Cruz. But what if the regular GOPe candidates (Rubio, Bush, Kasich) fail? If you're the GOPe, who are you going to vote for? Trump is guaranteed to build a Wall and stop illegal immigration and the Cheap Labor Express. But Cruz is more malleable because he needs money and therefore can be influenced. And if Cruz is willing to bend on the Canadian question, how strongly does he really believe in stopping the illegals? To me, Trump is a more serious threat to the GOPe. And therefore the GOPe may ultimately pick Cruz as their man to beat Trump. If you believe this thinking, then Trump is the better path to conservative policies. |
Bravo! btw, this noobie puke is spreading his garbage all over the threads. I’m sure he’s made fast friends with all the other Cruzers who refuse to fact reality and rely instead on the sad and pitiful talking points - he’s an operative, that is obvious.
Cruz warned the Republican Party that he's the only one in the field who can dethrone Trump. That sounds like he wants the GOPe to back him. It makes sense. Cruz keeps telling us he's the most Christian candidate, so why is he taking money from New York Values donors like Goldman Sachs and the gay billionaire? Answer? He needs the money and might compromise his conservatism to win. |
“Yeah? And what the hell have âconservativesâ done for us during the last 20 years?”
If it was not for snakes like Trump and his cronies and phonies, the conservatives would have done a lot more.
“Trump and his cronies”
Riiiiiiiiight.
Trump and *HIS* cronies can be blamed for EVERYTHING bad that’s happened in the last 20 years.
Got it.
Thanks for the update.
