So the movement is not so much pro-Trump as it is anti-Cruz?

It is difficult to decide what Trump and his benighted myrmidons do most...
Hate on or lie about Cruz.
Regardless, the Hillary/Donald DEAL is proceeding as planned.

I noticed an uptick in Ted’s support well before Iowa. The elderly and timid were taking a more sympathetic view of him as someone who could be trusted.

But it appears Ted’s choice of campaign team was in error. They did him in. They convinced him that their sleazeball tactics were what was needed in SC, and so they set about turning off a large segment of evangelicals there, due solely in the manner of their delivery.

What it points out is that Ted needed a ‘ground game’ but was inexperienced in how to organize and command one. He gave it over to others and in so doing he lost his message.

Donald Trump simply has more mastery of branding and messaging than any other candidate. And he has experience managing a large organization of executives that adhere to his way of communicating and executing.

No, the movement is ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT. Trump and Cruz are just grabbing different segments.

Cruz: Deep, deep conservatives. And some evangelicals. You saw last night, he is not getting as much of them as predicted.

Trump: He has a wider net, and therefore more people and votes. His bashing Political Corectness, it has been discounted by way too many. But it is striking a chord from Conservatives to Reagan Democrats and Independants. Thanks to Obama, Americahas been kicked around, put down and spit apon to the extent I have not seen since the Jimmy Carter days. Trump's brash talk is resonating

Now personally I am #1 for Trump and #2 for Cruz. If something happens and Trump falters and falls away, I will support Cruz. I expect the same to happen in reverse. I know some on here say "No Way", but most will. 

I know the race got heated in South Carolina, but that is SC for you, by the time the race gets there, they want to see if you can take and give a punch. In the end, I expect to see all the GOP Candidates on the stage in Cleveland in July.

I think Trump said it best last night "Running for President is tough, its nasty, its mean......its beautiful"
