Poll: Ted Cruz Leads 2016 GOP Field
US News & World Report ^ | 9/27/2013 | Rebekah Metzler

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is already reaping benefits from his 21-hour stand against President Barack Obama's new health care law, as a new poll shows him leading the way for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

Cruz garnered 20 percent support compared to 17 percent for Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., 14 percent for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, 11 percent for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and 10 percent each for Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., according to a survey by Public Policy Polling released Friday. Cruz improved 8 percent from a similar poll in July.

He’d be, of course, the best candidate we’ve had since Reagan.

I’d be sending money and volunteering for a campaign

That’s gonna hurt.

I guess Krispy Kreme’s secret tactic to use Peter King to slime Cruz backfired.

If you watch Obama, he is really loving Sen. Cruz and all the hoopla about those dastardly republicans who are ready to screw the country. He's almost giddy in his enjoyment.

sickening

Huh!

And then wait ‘til the ‘We told you so’, sentiment takes over after Obama care’s results become disastrous

No more RINOs in the top spot. The GOP should try a winning strategy this time and put forward a conservative as top billing. Glad to see Cruz leading, but there are many RINOs nipping at his heels.

Yes Caliph Baraq was pretty snippy this afternoon in his televised rant.

He’ll feel better tomorrow at golf.....

That is good, isn’t it? If he’s feeling confident he will make more mistakes and not be defensive.

We need to forget the RINO’s

The slow road to socialism leads to stuff like this:

there are many RINOs nipping at his heels.

The trend is very encouraging, though. A couple of weeks ago, the order and numbers were reversed.

Cruz was largely unknown. Now that Republicans know him, they love him.

Too bad for Krispy and Bush. Really. Too, too bad.

Exactly. Cruz is a guy I can follow through thick and thin. He’s got what it takes to win. He has principles and water flows off him before, during and after the fight.

Every RINO who voted for this AuschwitzCare needs to be voted OUT!
