Republican presidential candidate Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) cr97% argued fellow GOP candidate Donald Trump can't beat Democratic candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton because he "agrees with Hillary Clinton and can't take it to her" during Thursday's GOP presidential debate on CNN.
Cruz said, after stating he would release his tax forms, and that if Trump is being audited, it gives more of a reason for him to release his tax returns, because the voters should know if there is fraud, "[I]n the last 10 polls on Real Clear Politics he's [Trump's] lost to Hillary on eight of them. In the last 10 polls on Real Clear Politics, I either tied or beat Hillary, and this is an example. You know, the mainstream media's laying off Donald now. They're going to pick apart his taxes. They're going pick apart his business deals. And let's take, for example, one of Hillary as great vulnerabilities, the corruption at the Clinton Foundation, the fact she had CEOs and foreign companies giving her money, while she was secretary of state. The next Republican nominee needs to be able to make that case against Hillary. And if Donald tried to did it, Hillary would turn to Donald and say, but gosh, Donald, you gave $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. I even went to your wedding.' He can't prosecute the case against Hillary, and we risk another four years of these failed Obama policies by nominating someone who loses to Hillary Clinton in November."...

This may be the dumbest thing Cruz has ever said. If true, it also means Hillary can’t attack Trump either.
Ted loses to everyone in 11 of the last 10 polls.
It’s what happens when you’re advised by Glenn Beck and now...evidently.....Mittens Romney. LOL.
Donald Trump loses to Hillary in a head to head matchup the last 8 out of 10 polls, whereas Ted Cruz either ties or beats her in those very same polls!
As a supporter of Cruz for President since long before he even announced he was thinking about running I have my doubts about those polls.
Ted Cruz seems to have a problem getting the establishment republicans to follow him despite the situation of a possible Donald Trump nomination (which I personally have no problem with).
Who I do NOT want to see win is Gang of 8, vote skipping, establishment supported Marco Rubio. Unfortunately, between he and Ted Cruz I think Marco Rubio would have a better chance beating Hillary and I say this with much disappointment. Furthermore, I have my doubts that Rubio could beat Hillary... just have a better chance than Ted Cruz.
If Hillary loses it will be more about her own scandals and problems and less about who runs against her.
Many democrats I know (even women) do NOT like her.
Some would disagree.
lol
“Trump is the only one that has taken on PIAPS and shut her up.”
Exactly. The gutless Ted said he will not even bring up Bill. Sounds like a re-run of the McQueeg campaign if Ted should some how be the nominee. The Cruz guys are dreaming. GO TRUMP GO
Cruz needs to quit having whatever it is that Beck is having.
“...totally ignoring that Cruz had already stated the FACTS”
What facts??
In the arena of perception that is a debate, Cruz lost that exchange, just like he lost the exchange when he said Trump donated to crooked politicians.
A few weeks before the election, Reagan, according to all the polls, was about twenty points behind Carter.
LOL....there’s that :)

Current poll averages in General match ups - latest poll 2/15:
Trump vs Clinton = Clinton +8
Carson vs. Clinton = Clinton +1.3
Kasich vs. Clinton = Kasich +7.4
Rubio vs. Clinton = Rubio +4.7
Cruz vs. Clinton = Cruz +0.8
Trump vs. Sanders = Sanders +6.0
Cruz vs. Sanders = Sanders +4.7
Carson vs. Sanders = Sanders +1.3
Kasich vs. Sanders = Sanders +0.5
Rubio vs. Sanders = Tie
DJT loses to both Dems
Kasich, Rubio, Cruz beat Hillary
All Republicans lose to Sanders, except Rubio who ties (Dem cheating will fix that).
Spouting Democrat crap like that makes me wonder if you are on the correct site.
Trump has already shut up Mrs. Clinton once, so the entire “can’t attack her” is nonsensical. He already has attacked her.
Cruz is a tax lawyer like Obama is a Constitutional lawyer. Now, Cruz is just embarrassing himself. Ted should stick to his memorized debate lines.
Yes she can, it sounds like “I will follow Obama’s lead” that sadly is an articulation but it is a loser
You are unique...
Rubio would get less turnout than Romney. With Romney, we would have had to wait until he was elected to screw us in the back. Rubio already tried it.
Lies? So now the polls are lying? While they’ve had Trump up in every primary and they’ve been accurate nooowwww all of a sudden Cruz is lying about what the polls are truly stating?
I got that right?
Pretty...
