HUFFPOLLSTER: Ted Cruz Is Now An Establishment Candidate To Most GOP Voters
Huffington Post ^ | 4/22/2016 | Natalie Jackson

GOP VOTERS NOW THINK OF TED CRUZ AS ESTABLISHMENT - HuffPollster: “Here’s the latest proof of how strange this primary cycle has become: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who’s long tried to leverage his colleagues’ loathing into a version of outsider cred, is overwhelmingly viewed by his party as an establishment candidate. In a new HuffPost/YouGov survey, 62 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters say that Cruz is more of an establishment candidate, while just 29 percent describe him as an outsider. That’s a marked shift since December, when just 36 percent considered him part of the establishment….While that might help Cruz make his case on the floor of a contested convention, it’s unlikely to endear him to his party — 62 percent say they’d prefer a political outsider. In contrast, just 26 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters say the same.“

Yet here you are supporting a Globalist...

At the FOX News debate, when Donald Trump was asked by Megyn Kelly who he is listening to as top national security advisers, the first name Trump mentioned was Richard Haass.

Who is Richard Hass you ask?

Well he just happens to be President of the biggest Globalist organization, Council of Foreign Relations!

You know that same organization you belittle Heidi Cruz for being just a member once upon a time.

The same CFR Cruz’s wife wrote a report on to create the North American union.

One is one of many advisers who is knowledgeable of the foreign situations. Whereas the Cruz’s are active participants in the destruction of America.

DUH!!!! You can’t hire a Bush or two, get enforced by Romney and have an entire states political machine mobilize to win you an election and claim to be an outsider....

The GOPe gave Cruz a state win in WI only to lose the nation.. Or in other words. The WI win was Cruz winning a battle and losing a war.

Cruz will come in third in at least 2 if not 3 states next Tuesday as well. A pattern that will repeat itself with the exceptions of MT, SD and NE, there isn’t another win in sight left for him and Trump’s margin of victory will grow as he continues to rack up wins.

The contested convention saving Cruz is laughable. Even if by some strange set of events Trump is shy of 1237 the party will not give the nomination to someone who’s only win east of the Mississippi was MN and who’s finishing last place as often as not in the home stretch.

Trump is going to be President. This means it’s time to cease griping about him and start working to influence his thinking and his appointments.

Ted Cruz is the Establishment’s Affirmative Action candidate. He can’t achieve on his own so they will give him points to help him qualify. The joke, of course, is on Cruz since he is so blind with raw ambition that can’t see that they are only using him to try to force a contested convention so they can put up another loser and all keep their jobs. Poor fool; and I was once impressed by his intellect.

(Trump) Wants to change Republican platform on abortion

So what? He's just changing it to reflect the position of every GOP presidential candidate since Bush 1988.

Don't get stuck on symbolism. This is a long game. To stop abortion you have to stop Hillary. Cruz can't win. Trump can. When he does keep the pressure on him to nominate conservative justices. That's how you stop abortion.
