There’s no doubt that Cruz is going to paint in bold colors that will set him apart from mushy moderates like Bush. But, that doesn’t meant that you give up targeting another candidate’s weaknesses. Jeb has a lot of weaknesses everything from his immigration plan to his establishment vibe. I don’t expect Cruz to attack now, but I hope he unloads if he has to. However, after his brilliant speech on Monday and his known debate skills, I’m not too worried about his strategy.
By the way, love your articles.
Look, the lesson of the last cycle is clear. Voters want one thing - and it’s NOT to attack the other Republicans. When Newt was focusing on the Democrats and praising the other Republicans, he was winning big.
It happened at two different times in the last cycle. One was in Iowa, about 2,3,4 weeks before the Iowa Caucus. He was something like 14% ahead of everybody.
He then went Bain Capital on Mitt, and imploded.
He rallied, and led again the week of SC, where he won the Primary by about 13-14%. He then went to Florida, unloaded on Mitt again, and got destroyed.
The lessons are CLEAR.
Thanks C. Edmund Wright! By the way, I think conservatism is going to win the primary in 2016. Big bold colors are needed in 2016, not the pale pastels that have been pushed by the establishment since 1988. Cruz has bonafide conservative credentials that should set him apart from RINOS such as, Jeb Bush. I’m excited, because I was born after Reagan ran for office and I never had the opportunity to vote for a conservative. Maybe, just maybe I’ll have that opportunity in 2016.
Methinks....and me hopes.....u right!
