I can’t figure out why Cruz isn’t showing better.
Because there are very few conservatives left in America. Every conservative I know supports Ted, but we are a small minority in the bigger picture.
Me neither, and it bothers me. Politically, Cruz could be Ronnie's son.
Cruz appeals to constitutional conservatives but lacks name recognition to the rank and file.
Remember the guy is only 44 yrs old and taking his first lap around the track and has already shown prowess in fundraising.
As one of the three or four best funded in the race, he may hang in a long time.

He’s by far the smartest guy in the room and is a legal/Constitutional scholar. He waxes eloquently from the Senate floor and perhaps is not bested in debating skills. However, he does not have the name recognition and bombastic outspoken skills that Trump has. Trump is a reality show right before our eyes for better or for worse, but he has rapidly brought the fight to the forefront and gives no quarter. As conservative as Cruz? No. As eloquent? No. However, he is large and in charge and can take the fight on important pressing issues to the forefront and give the media and GOPe candidates crap right back at them. He speaks in a way most people can understand. It is refreshing and entertaining at the same time and he is beholden to no one. Will it last? Who knows, but it is very effective and right now it is what people want to hear. Just my two cents...
