Internal poll for Bush PAC shows much tighter SC race: Trump 26, Cruz 24, Jeb 12, Rubio 11--while public surveys give Trump a huge lead

When someone throws a punch at you (negative ad) you say it is negative when you punch back you? I have to disagree.
The Cruz Crew needs to just settle down. This “poll” is total BS. 538 has Trump at 82% to win the SC primary and Milhous Cruz at 9%.
Bush you say? Are you sure? If you are who you say you are then I am a Bernie man - and I really actually do mean it, signed, sealed, and delivered.
You are entitled to your opinion.
The name Jeff Roe is emblazoned in my brain for eternity. Anyone hiring him - him I am against. Cruz should show some class and fire the sleazebag.
LOL...Yeb poll shows CRuz doing well. You can’t make this stuff up.
Stay out da Bushes....they’re connected like a maze.
Yes, Cruz has hired the sleaziest, most dishonest person possible. Jeff Roe has NO integrity and Cruz doesn’t have much to have hired him.
Jeb has spent some $120 M, a large fraction in negative adds against Trump. Trump has to respond to the lies, and it costs a lot of money and attempts to take him off message - good luck with that. What was Trump's message - something about "Make America Great Again" - did I get that right.
What is Bush's message - smug, smarmy, low energy, uh, oh, ummm my mommy says I should be your commander in chief.
Trump has not supported the Bushes since the Iraq war and many who knew Reagan, Trump and his father did know Reagan, were wary of the Bushes. It is well known that the Reagans never liked the Bushes.

“Ronald Reagan is not called the Great Communicator for nothing. In one brief sentence last week, the ex-president neatly summed up his view of George Bush: “He doesn’t seem to stand for anything,” Reagan reportedly told friends. The former president later denied ever making the remark, first published in The Washington Post, but in case anyone doubted his true feelings Reagan then refused to be seen with the president in public. He skipped a Bush fund-raiser in Los Angeles and barred the press from his house when Bush came calling.”...
“There has never been much love lost between the Bushes and the Reagans. The relationship between the ex-president and his former veep was always a marriage of convenience. After eight years of service so loyal that Bush was derided as a lap dog, Reagan only tepidly and belatedly endorsed his number two for president in 1988 and once mispronounced his name (”George Bosh”). Bush was more than happy to use the “Reagan-Bush” legacy to get elected, but he had little respect for the former president’s hands-off management style—or for Reagan’s hard line against the Kremlin.”
Reagan believed in Peace through Strength...that is Trump’s policy as well. The Bushes have never been the kind of politicians to capture the imagination or inspiration of the masses. The Bushes have had to use wars and warmongering to get conservatives to rally round the flag during all Bush administrations.
You’re right, but it’s peculiar that Trump’s psychology has not changed at age 69. I’ve met a lot of ex-bullies in their 20’s.
Seems to me that Trump going after Jeb and W is because they are the establishment.
They mellowed out?
Jebbie is going to get quite a bollocking(schlonging.whatever..)..
Thought all but Carson showed maturity, but saying that Cruz and Trump both had to shout louder to the booing of the crowd.
It could be he knew what was coming and attacked.How refreshing to more than a few of us.
I expect Cruz to move up a bit now that SCOTUS appointments are big issue in the campaign. People will trust Cruz most to appoint conservative justices.
You wish.
Best post in this entire thread,Thank you.
I call him an aging frat boy.
Life and circumstances cause a lot of people to grow up.
Trump always had mega money. It may have insulated him from having to grow up.
