The MSM including Fox don’t even allow the name Cruz to be mentioned.
Is he in the front?
That’s a good indicator.
Some are claiming that supporters of the other candidates who will drop out will flock to Cruz [who BTW, is raising TONS of money, most of which he hasn’t even spent yet].
Yes
Cruz 2016.
There really isn’t any other choice that makes sense.
So the answer is no, he is not the new frontrunner for the nomination.
Wait until the battle handover show occurs between Trump and Cruz as Trump announces his “apprentice” and departs the stage. The media, political wonks and GOPe are going to have a meltdown.
Ben Domenech sent a flutter through conservative Twitter this weekend with this tweet. Ted Cruz, the great tea-party hope, a favorite for the nomination
I didn’t even know who this Ben Dominech guy was, so I looked him up.
Lessee....he’s a founder of RedState (no thanks) and is publisher of The Federalist...who happens to be churning out Trump hit pieces, as fast as they can say “Fear!”....so, again, no thanks.
Allahpundit just squeezing up to his establishment friends, again.
Besides that, if Trump isn't the candidate, there's a good chance we'll get Biden/Warren.
Trump, Bush, and Cruz have the dough.
So they’re likely the guys with the most staying power.
Bush’s path to victory (Dems crossing over in primaries) won’t work if there is a competitive Dem primary fight.
No.
Nope!
“Cruz, in other words, may become a sort of compromise candidate whose nomination can heal the party, sort of”
That doesn’t sound promising.
Wishful thinking. RCP average has Cruz tied for 5th-6th place with Rubio (7.3%), behind Trump (22%). Bush in second (10,7%), Carson and Walker in single digits. As for the “TEA party favorite” that’s now clearly Trump. Finally the GOPe will never support Cruz. If he somehow ever did win the nomination they would do everything they could to make sure he loses.
Ted Cruz has always been the front runner. He’s ten steps ahead of everyone, including the polls—— they’ll catch up ex post facto.
There sure is a whole lot of torturous fantasizing going on out there in which various people imagine scenarios where somehow someone other than Trump is running away with it somehow.
Magical thinking is what they call it.
Can’t fault his ideology.
But explain how he got a lower % of the 2012 vote in TEXAS than Mediocre Mitt....
