They live in a bubble.

He’s right about Cruz, but wrong about Trump. There’s a good chance Cruz will make the short list, but Trump will still be the first name on that list, IMO.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I think Trump and Cruz reached an agreement back in July.

[mbrfl]

I think you’re right

[libertylover]

Trump will remain the front runner as long as he doesn’t apologize for telling the truth.

[Maelstorm]

Absolutely no one cares about some guy calling the President a Muslim. These guys don’t stop. Such idiots.

[Uncle Miltie]

Cruz is a class act, coming and going:

Cruz Welcomes Scott Walker to Presidential Race

HOUSTON, Texas – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement regarding Gov. Scott Walker’s entry into the 2016 GOP campaign for President:

“Scott Walker is a welcome addition to the 2016 Republican field and I’m glad to have him join the race. Gov. Walker has been a successful governor of Wisconsin where he bravely took on the unions to pass important right to work legislation. His talents will sharpen the field and make us all stronger as we prepare to face Hillary in the general election.”

CRUZ: I wish Gov. Walker and Tonette all the best in their continued service to Wisconsin and the country

HOUSTON, Texas — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement in response to the announcement that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has suspended his campaign for President:
“Gov. Scott Walker is a good man, a formidable fighter, and an effective reformer. Wisconsin is considerably stronger as a result of the changes he pushed through under incredibly difficult and contentious conditions. In the presidential race, his focus on new, innovative policy ideas made the entire Republican field better. I wish Scott and Tonette all the best in their continued service to Wisconsin and the country.”

"As Trump’s bad week demonstrated, his chances to outlast Cruz look rather in doubt."

Say what now?

I think this is the guy that Megyn Kelly has on her show almost every day. ....A month or so ago, he was pretty accurate, but the last week or two he seems to be going off the rails in his predictions/analyses about candidates.

(((....."Stay the course, Ted....Stay the course.....")))

I called Cruz’s office and told them flat out that he cannot play by the Marquis of Queensbury rules with people who play by no rules at all. If he insists on being polite, he will lose.

This would include anything he might do as POTUS. His political enemies will run him over.

[Alas Babylon!]

As Trump’s bad week demonstrated, his chances to outlast Cruz look rather in doubt.

Bad premise to start with. Does not compute. Trump's poll numbers went up, actually, after this so-called "bad week".

[caww]

HE'll know how to play this when the time is right...which isn't in the childish food fights happening now....the children have to be put to bed first....and then it'll be time for the adults.....so when Cruz makes his move the nation will enjoy the pleasure of watching a true US President finally arise!
