Ted Cruz Says Donald Trump's Voters Have "relatively low information" And Are "not that engaged"
CBN News ^ | March 10, 2016 | David Brody

Posted on 03/10/2016 6:23:01 AM PST by VitacoreVision

GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz tells The Brody File that the reason Donald Trump is performing well in the GOP race for president is because his voters are uninformed and not engaged in the process. “Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed.” Hunch: I’m thinking Trump and his “Silent Majority” may push back on this just a bit don’t you think? Lots to unpack here but for now, here’s the clip.

Our interview was done Wednesday afternoon in Miami.

“Both of Ted’s parents were alcoholics when he was growing up. His sister actually died from alcoholism and drug abuse. Ted was arrested when he was a teen for possession of a case of stolen booze. When he got into college he had a long list of problems with alcohol which was one of the reasons he made few friends.”

Not that I am disputing you, because I don’t know one way or the other, but where did you get this information?

Yeah, and Trumps children have done so many bad things with their lives. Why one of them almost got a negative review in the media once. Almost. Idiot.

I find it impossible to be, nor am I interested in being friends with anyone who thinks this is okay.

Cruz has, as I once told my exwife, the diplomacy of Mohamar Khadafi.


Mohammar Qadaffi, whose name can never be spelled the same way three times in a row, had a MUCH more inspired tailor.

EXXXACTLY!

WTH is this poseur doing— he who has produced nothing but a resume designed to ascend to power and position.

Talk about a man in a hurry, this one beats Rubio all to heck, because CRUZ actually does have the money of the globalists to ascend that Rubio could only dream of.

Low information?
They are Trump supporters and voters over Cruz supporters because of the information that we have.

So, I guess my vote now goes Trump or nobody at this point.

So, this means you believe Cruz is not carried on the shoulders of the globalists, spoon fed with millions and millions of dollars from all the wrong people?

Follow the money, bubba. Talk about favors, cronyism, and backroom deals... see TED CRUZ.

But give me the Buffoon with the seven decades on the streets in NY and NJ, who worked as a kid in the gravel, knows all the working men and the oligarchy too!

He is an unlikable ahole with Harvard arrogant mouth.Levin is the same way. He attacked sundance at the tree house and made fun of his occupation. These aholes are elitists nothing else. Cruz will win the same states he is winning now in the general and nothing else. It will be a wipeout

What a moron! Donald Trump's voters are the exact opposite of everything that he has said. Not only are we exceptionally "high information" voters, we are extremely engaged voters!

The only thing Cruz got right is the fact that Donald Trump's supporters ARE ANGRY; WE ARE ANGRY WITH THE GOPe AND GUYS LIKE HIM WHO REFUSE TO FACE REALITY: HE REPRESENTS THE PROBLEM, NOT THE SOLUTION AND HIS STATEMENT PROVES WHO HE SIDES WITH: THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT, NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! (YES I, ALONG WITH MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE YELLING; WE ARE FED UP WITH THE WHOLE ROTTEN DEMOCRAT AND GOP WASHINGTON ELITE ESTABLISHMENT! WE ARE "MAD AS BLAZES AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT, OR THEM ANYMORE!" It is too bad Ted Cruz and the GOPe vehemently refuse to hear us, but THEY WILL HEAR US AT THE BALLOT BOX AND THEY WILL HEAR US WHEN Donald Trump becomes the next President of the United States and they all suddenly wake up to the reality that their utterly corrupt power, position and gravy train existence is at an end.

I am an evangelical Christian and all of the above is the reason why I voted for and support Donald Trump over Ted Cruz.

El candidato Cruz es estupido, mucho estupido. Drudge has just picked this up. Adios, Cruz.

As they say in Canada: Au revoir

Are there any conservatives the Trumpsters like or do they just like people like Hillary, John Kerry, and Obama?

“where is she?”

I am told she left to a site more congenial to her candidate. There is a certain honesty in that. I like her, and always have. She is a fierce pro-life warrior. I really, really tried hard to see the best in her guy, but at this point there is no way.

Hopefully she will come back at some point, but this campaign is even more divisive than 2012.

Oh, I follow the money. The money that Trump gave to Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Charlie Rangel, Anthony Weiner, and Rahm Emmanuel.

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

If the establishment ends up stealing the nomination from Trump and giving it to the Canadian liar you can rest assure this Trump supporter will be writing in Trump. I would vote for this fake and fraud illegal immigrant Cruz for all the money in Canada.

Thank you for that thoughtful and insightful post. I wasn’t raised by alcoholics, but I married a person who was. As such, I noticed about Cruz exactly what you commented on. He rewrites history without a second’s hesitation—and instantly the rewrite becomes his reality. It’s nothing short of insanity.

You are right about the root cause as well. In his alcoholic family, he learned fast that history is not what happened; history is what the Alcoholic in Charge [doubtless Rafael Sr] said happened. You question/challenge that ‘reality’ at your own great personal risk.

It’s a tragic environment for a child to be raised in. The adulthood of that same child, barring extensive intervention, is utterly destructive to all concerned.

Cool. I find it impossible to give a pass to anyone who teaches his children to fake prayers because it makes good optics.

‘I think you are hard on moccasins. They swim with a certain sinister grace, and they are blessedly silent, and don’t make the listener’s ears bleed.’

All true. But have you ever seen what a water moccasin does to an unsuspecting frog? We are Cruz’ potential frogs. On the outside chance he wins, we’ll be fodder.
