By next month or earlier, Cruz will be in the lead.

Hint: He was never out of the lead. CNN is lying.

[TADSLOS]

The enemedia is about to be gobsmacked with Cruz Fever!

[pollywog]

good news... !!!!

[stephenjohnbanker]

I should have said even CNN and MSNBC could no longer deny it. I stand corrected.

[I-ambush]

The most likely way the debate would be unfairly slanted would involve ignoring Cruz, rather than giving him biased questions.

I don’t guess you heard Jeff Ward today with the Religious Freedom callers? The left - and Ward is definitely one of them, forget the ‘libertarian’ - are desperately trying to drown Ted’s conservative message which is out of the bag now and bringing in donations.

theyre CNN....its what they do!

Walker @ 20 and Cruz @ 16.

The pro-amnesty-for-illegal-alien candidate loses to the (IRC) secure border candidates 26-17. (And other pro-amnesty candidate Rubio is at 6%, with no hope of improvement.)

The GOP insiders have much to learn on the deep, unwavering, and motivated secure-border vote from the MAJORITY of GOP voters.

I don’t listen to that sanctimonious ass.

[GeronL]

Some of these guys need to drop out. Carson, Santorum, Huckabee and i-Carly need to do the world a favor and stay out.

[GeronL]

Liberal Romney won many primaries by plurality, he didn’t start winning outright until it was pretty much a done deal.

I think this is also Jeb’s strategy.

[GeronL]

do you think it is too late for the MSM to start ignoring Cruz?

[John 3_19-21]

"Cruz will utterly destroy Jebbie in any fairly moderated primary debate."

Wasn't the last fairly-moderated debate pre-Nixon Kennedy?

[Artcore]

I’ll wager some of those praising Cruz today, will disown him in the not too distant future. He’ll do something, say something, consider something that the most perfect among us disagree with. As such, they’ll throw another hissy fit and stay home in 2016.

We’ll destroy our own candidates in 2016, just like we did in 2012...don’t doubt it.

“Some of these guys need to drop out. Carson, Santorum, Huckabee and i-Carly need to do the world a favor and stay out.”

Don’t forget Perry and Crispy.

[GeronL]

I always try to forget...

[2ndDivisionVet]

I was saying that he was at 3% at the beginning of his senate run and he won that in something of a landslide.

[okie01]

I quite agree. That was McCain's strategy, as well.

However, 21% won't be enough to claim a plurality. The GOP-e is running on fumes.

[SoConPubbie]

Yep, you’re right as usual.

[kvanbrunt2]

no cruz needs to make his case and win those that poll for these candidates and have them vote for him. that’s the process.
