Ted Cruz's Southern strategy hasn't panned out as hoped
Dallas Morning News ^ | 2/28/16 | TODD J. GILLMAN

The South was to be Ted Cruz’s springboard to the nomination, his firewall in case the first few contests didn’t quite finish off the competition.

After a string of third-place finishes, the boasts are gone. The optimism seems forced. Cruz is now engaged in a long slog, overshadowed by Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and heading into Super Tuesday with dim prospects for retaking control of the Republican presidential race.

Cruz offered a far more restrained assessment Saturday as he stumped in the shadow of Georgia’s gold-domed capitol. The midday rally drew no more than 400 people, even as Rubio packed a stadium a half-hour away in Kennesaw with thousands of cheering supporters.

Thanks for the information.

My point is, if you walk into a room that is 100% Democrat, do you moan about no chance in the state or do you lay out your policies honestly in a manner a Democrat could sign on to?

I just don’t think you make up any ground going excuse/insult game.

Ted didn’t do it, so I can’t talk about it being his mistake in Texas, but I would discourage folks from pointing out the obvious, even if it is true.

Keep your hand out and don’t slap even one coming your way.

Crossover among these folks isn’t likely, but they may hear something they can cling to. Who knows.

That's your redefinition of the word and you're sticking to it.

So what.

IRS man walks into Baptist minister’s church office and asks the preacher if he knows church member Smith.
“Why yes, I do, fine man.”
“Can you tell me whether he made this large contribution to your church last year?”
“I can tell you—if hasn’t, he will.”

"Pragmatist is a code word . . . "

Funny how the Cruz Ruse crowd are so fond of the democrat fascist game of redefining words to suit their own line of crap.

Is "Conservative" a code word for "Nazi" in the other places you post or do you still claim it's the code word for racist ?

What other places I post?

Sad to see that Trump is ushering in a new immorality among his supporters based on making up wild rumors and innuendo against people you disagree with that have no basis in reality.

You making characterizations identical to those that the demorat fascists make in their little fiefdoms I just figured you posted there as well as here.

You know, a critter that looks like a skunk is probably a skunk.
