Ted Cruz Thread

It is certainly not  Perry.  It is Trump!

I do think the debates will change that. Trump isn't a good debater, and his "principles" are miles wide and inches deep. I do not think he cancwin the nomination, but I thank God he's bringing certain issues to life. None of this would happen if he wasn't in the race.

I'm not so sure! Trump owns some of these issues now and that is a driving force! A good debater can help but it is not enough by it's self! Ted Cruz is one of the smartest in the field and he needs to find his own solid message. It's what makes you shine!

Great analogy! Essentially paper thin, and just as malleable.

We just need to give Trump all the room he needs. He will probably implode in the long run. I ignore his polls and look at how the others are doing. Cruz is slowly but steadily rising. That makes more sense. That is more in line with the countries mood.

For not being such a great debater, why was is it that he was widely seen as having won the first debate...despite his row with Megyn Kelly at that...go figure.

He's our Bernie Sander's. He's peaked at 30% support, he can only get whites to support him and relies on the media to get out his message.
I don't make this stuff up.

I find the winner will be entirely in the eye of the beholder.  Not the MSM.    I see Trump is a Wild card not a politician.  He is saying what should have been said for the 50+ years.  Trump has nothing to lose and everything to gain IF he can pull it off.

Same has happened to Cruz in Texas....   

Yeah, I saw that bogus CNN/ORC Poll, it's pure unadulterated pasteurized, filtered shit, and still they couldn't mask the stench, 30 minutes I'll never get back.

Because it was clear HE was the target. He held his own. Nothing stunning, he just held his own. He had the sympathy of a lot of us. The questions were DISHONEST.

How were they dishonest?

No matter what the attendance in Mobile tonight will be, Cruz will plow forward.  A good percentage of Trump's crowd will be Cruz-supporters... being part of something bigger than a 'townhall'.

I sense that he benefits from the massive anti-obama/hillary sentiment, even if he isn't speaking.

Cruz in Des Moines for Religious Liberty Conference. Huge success. Look for more of these.
