That ‘voice in the wilderness’ is like a tree falling in the forest when nobody’s around: it might make some noise but nobody is listening and nobody intends to go out of their way to hear it.

Ted will be sued by the Dems for being constitutionally ineligible to hold office, should he win the race. His circumstances of birth are sufficiently cloudy that they would probably win that case.

It’s a nightmare scenario that Cruz supporters need to come to grips with.

I can’t imagine any scenario where Cruz gets much more than 230 electoral votes.

Did you even read this tripe before posting it? It doesn’t do a thing to bolster the argument for Cruz. It does quite the opposite, in fact.

==Yes, we've been "corrupted" and aren't really "conservative"....

You said it, and I agree with you!

See, we still agree on some things :oP

I’ve seen more than one FReeper call Cruz ‘oily’.
Latest; ‘Cruz is too oily for the South’.

What do they mean by that?

Why vote for the second-rate candidate when you can have Ted Cruz.

I read on Facebook that Cruz has a big lead with the youth vote.

Nobody ever said that Cruz would win SC.

They did say that Trump would get 38 to 40%.

He got 32. He’s vulnerable, depending on where the lower echelon of candidates’ votes go.

Y’all better hope they don’t go to Rubio.

All this Cruz bashing and you may end up with Rubio.

Romney endorsed him today.

Keep sawing that sawdust!


Yeah, it’s over for Cruz. Rubio had the biggest crowd of his campaign today. Cruz is solidly in 3rd place now, IMO.

72% of SC. voters were Evangelicals, and most of them voted for Trump and Rubio, not Cruz.

Why? LiE LiE LiE, false witness false witness, Evangelicals don’t like a candidate who does too much of that. Cruz needs to publicly ask Carson and Trump for forgiveness for his lies and his false witness.

I think Carson can show Cruz how to behave, and Trump can show Cruz how to win without a governor, senator, or congressman endorsing him.

What I like about Trump is that he is spending the least per vote of anyone and winning.

Another thing about Trump’s victory y’all might want to consider.

He is the dems favorite candidate. That should scare you.

He got a lot of dem crossover vote.

South Carolina : Trump 50 delegates, Cruz 0 delegates.

Trump 61 delegates. GOP win 1237 delegates. Trump didn't quite achieve 1/3 of the vote. What will happen in a 2 or 3 man race?

Maybe that he sometimes uses words of more than one syllable?

They are trying to say he is a greasy huckster, creepy, etc.

...As in Saul Alinsky’s RULE #12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

I left out the sarcasm tag, but if you want to think that - by all means keep thinking it.

No skin off of my back and my conscience is very clear.

That’s not entirely true. I am listening to him.

Remember who the voice is crying in the wilderness.

I thought SC is proportional with its delegates unlike FL which is a winner take all. Am I incorrect about SC?

I wish I could believe that Trump would be as committed and effective in foreign policy as his supporters believe.

Wrong question. Correct question is, “Why do so many conservative and very conservative and evangelical voters NOT support Cruz?

Cruzers do NOT want to go there.
