Conservatives expect an "outsider" candidate to win the Republican presidential nomination according to a poll by FedUp PAC. With all GOP establishment candidates trailing outsiders Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in recent polls, 76% say they expect one of the outsiders to get the nomination at the July convention in Cleveland.
Conservatives also saw Trump and Cruz as leading the pack in last week's Charleston debate, with 49% naming Trump as the winner and 35% choosing Cruz. No other candidate was higher than the 6% of Marco Rubio.
Those responding were more closely divided on the question of who was most effective at defending Second Amendment rights during the debate. Trump was selected by 43% with Cruz right behind at 40%. Rubio and Ben Carson lagged far behind with 5% each.
FedUp PAC is a grass roots organization that wants constitutional conservatives to take over the GOP because Americans are fed up with the Republican establishment. It is not affiliated with any candidate or committee.
“Not affiliated with any group or candidate”.
Fed Up PAC. LOL!
We will know how fed up people are soon. It’s Revolution or it’s another damn charm offensive, but it sure can not be both.
TRUMP, 2016
You fake Conservatives must have McConnell laughing his
flaccid ass off. It will be business as usual with Trump.
You suicide conservatives are missing the Revolution. McConnell falls under the TRUMP “stupid leadership” label.
Cruz redeemed himself with McConnell, serving as VP on the NRSC, ya’ know, when he was too silent to lend vocal support, financial support, or even moral support to TP conservatives, in 2012, like Chris McDaniels.
Instead, Ted funds not the poor schlubs in the races, but the NRSC instead, to the tune of $200,000.00, about the time the dirty tricks operation begins to deploy the MISSISSIPPI TREATEMENT against McDaniels, who was leading that senatorial race, against the incumbent mule for the establishment, Thad Cochran.
Remember?
If you’re serious, then you are insane.
If that was sarcasm, then you need to put an /s at the end.
When does Trump mention the Constitution and does it matter if he doesn’t?
Office holders (winners) swear to uphold the Constitution and protect it from enemies, both foreign and domestic.
But how many of them take their oath seriously?
We know Cruz takes the Constitution seriously.
Do we know about Trummp?
Will Trump be Obama with a different agenda?
Except of one clause that's problematic for him. Then it's not even worth talking about.
When does Trump mention the Constitution and does it matter if he doesn’t? “ >>
I think Trump mentioned it the other day, inquiring about law suits on unsettled Constitutional questions regarding Ted Cruz, and scholars saying Cruz is not being an originalist after all.
95% of lawyers and Constitutional scholars say Cruz is natural born. Those who say otherwise are in the distinct minority. They’ll be laughed out of any court.

The issue is PR for the low information voter
I hope all that is true. Meanwhile, it’s still a lawsuit coming right between the eyes. Bad timing, bad week for Cruz.
I agree that it is a major mistake of the Cruz campaign to not have made this old news in Dec 2014.
James Carville is right. Get this kind of problem out of the way early in the campaign, when nobody is paying attention. Then later in the campaign it is old news.
Obama became a landslide senator on that kind of GOP mistake.
In June 2012 I told Jack Ryan to handle his personal situation early when he could choose whether to release it on a slow or busy newsday, and whether to release it to a friend in the press or an enemy.
But he waited until GOPe paid a -conservative- consultant to expose his personal problem. And what was his personal problem? He didn’t have kinky sex with his sex goddess wife.
The same with Pat Robertson in 1988. The Sunday before the IA caucus the news media hit with a headline: Pat Robertson caught in a sex scandal. And what was the scandal? Pat Jr was born 8 months after the wedding. So Pat Sr had pre-marital sex with his wife of 50 years.
All of these scandals were nothing but a misleading headline. But they hurt because they were not handled early and were not old news when voters started paying attention.
Preach it, Rita!
Why is it these people prefer extinction? Thanks for the moral support, dearest friend. It’s a lot more than McDaniels got from Ted, and I appreciate you. .) Rita
