Right?! So frustrating to hear the slam clap trap over and over.

Wondering when they’ll start on Rubio? Oh wait, they won’t, he’s the great uniter! This game sux.

Very solid point Bernard, 1/3 the evangelicals is hardly what one can claim is a resounding victory.

I detest our media, through and through. I see so many naive people, old and young, being led around with blatant lies. The media is NOT dead, contrary to popular opinion.

After months of media fixation on Trump, we know remarkably little about the other candidates. Ted Cruz's experience as attorney general of Texas is the next best substitute. But it is still only a substitute.

Think Whirling Dervish---that should give you a better picture of the ambitious Cruz.

============================================

EXHIBIT ONE---TED CRUZ/s CURRENT SENATE COMMITTEES
(SOURCE: Cruz web site):

Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities

Subcommittee on Seapower

Subcommittee on Strategic Forces

Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation

Subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness, Chairman

Subcommittee on Aviation Operations, Safety, and Security

Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation, and the Internet

Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance, and Data Security

Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries, and Coast Guard

Subcommittee on Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts, Chairman

Subcommittee on The Constitution

Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest

Joint Economic Committee

Committee on Rules & Administration

===================================================

EXHIBIT TWO----On Cruz' official Senate web site-----Cruz posted on his Immigration page what he apparently considers to be his accomplishments:

CRUZ WEB SITE: In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the "Gang of 8" bill that would strengthen border security, expand green card opportunities, increase high-skilled "H1B" visas, prevent illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits, and enforce the rule of law.

Even after the bill died, when Cruz had the opportunity, he did not identify his amendment as a "poison pill." Cruz glaringly omitted his current stance....that he was only bluffing.

================================================

EXHIBIT THREE---A huge red flag is that Cruz seemingly grovels for latino votes....consistently depicting himself as "latino" Yet his family bgrnd indicates only his father is Spanish; his mother is not---has two nationalities, one from each of her parents. If he was a DemocRat, he could get away with claiming he is fully and authentically Hispanic, just as Obama has gotten away with claiming he is fully and authentically black. But as a Republican, that is out of the question.

The glib staunch Christian Cruz even gulled the Senate biographer into believing he is the first Hispanic elected to the US Senate.

Infantile snarks and bile laced screed add nothing to the conversation. Perhaps you should wait until you can add something rational to the conversation before posting again.

“But I thought Trump was a winner. A winner that wins so much we would all get tired of winning. I guess first loser counts as winning.”

Get ready to eat your words. Trump will take NH with ease, and Cruz will be a major loser, big-time.

Probably. But the reality is that New Hampshire means even less than Iowa for two reasons:

  1. 40% of primary voters are classified as "Independent" who can and do vote in either primary. This helps Trump and hurts Saunders.
  2. Two fewer electoral votes and equally low probability to vote GOP in November.

Both are pissant states with grossly over-inflated opinions of themselves. The real contest starts on February 20th, when South Carolina votes and ends on March 15th when only 21 states and two territories remain.

The only contests in that group which might even remotely be considered pivotal are Arizona (March 22), Wisconsin (April 4) and Pennsylvania (April 26). Beyond those three, the remaining states are either too one-colored or award too few delegates or both to be considered even remotely pivotal.
