Geesh, Cruz can’t even get above 11% in polling.
He doesn’t excite enough people.
All of that is meaningless. Trump has had the epiphany that we ALL want EVERYONE to have... Government is the problem.
Sorry, but Trump will do exactly what you want him to do, despite your concern trolling.
Trump is a natural born citizen. Cruz is not. This country went for a candidate in 2008 who was also NOT a natural born citizen. How well did that work out?
I’ve tried to point this out numerous times. One of the requirements for the nominee.. They MUST move the needle to win. Trump moves the needle.
Can’t we have both?The bull in the China Shop Trump followed by the poet Conservative Cruz. It could take all 16 years to recover from the disaster that Obama gave us!
"What would President Cruz do? Do American citizen children of two illegal immigrants, who are born here, the children, get deported under a President Cruz?" Kelly asked.
Donald Trump, she said, "has answered that question explicitly."
"Megyn, I get that that's the question you want to ask," Cruz said. "That's also the question every mainstream media liberal journalist wants to ask."
Asked whether it is an unfair question, Cruz said that it is "a distraction" from solving the issue.
"You know, it's also the question that Barack Obama wants to focus on," Cruz retorted.
"Why is it so hard? Why don't you just say yes or no?" Kelly asked.
Cruz's response: "Because, Megyn, we need to solve the problem. And the way you solve the problem is you focus where there's bipartisan agreement first. Once we've secured the border, once we've proven we can do this, once we've stopped the Obama administration's policy of releasing 104,000 violent criminal illegal aliens in one year. Once we've solved that problem, then we can have a debate, then we can have a conversation."

Very misleading, oversimplified and inaccurate. A perfect propaganda tool.
Cruz is the candidate conservatism has been looking for since Reagan.
Cruz is going to win it all because he is ‘among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as KINGS to take control of all sectors of society’ as so stated in the Seven Mountains mandate....
I disagree on this part of your argument and let me explain here.
He is conservative on the things that matter to me and has been so for a long time:
immigration
trade
political correctness (which is gonna kill us before the other two things do, btw!)
But these are the very issues that the self-described conservatives in this race are completely wrong about. They also happen to be the only things that if they go unresolved, will mean that, in my lifetime that the term “conservative” will go the way of the term “rotary phone.”
Comical hit piece on Trump...Trump is miles ahead of Cruz while never saying a negative thing about CruZ...Apparently Cruz has to go negative on Trump in hopes that he can even begin to play catch-up...
The 2008 and 2012 Iowa Caucus/GOP presidential primary involved a genuinely difficult decision for voters. That is not the case this time. Either gather around Cruz, on behalf of the values that won the American Revolution, or Trump’s “burn it down†French Revolution will likely win.
We've been hearing this 'values' thing now for decades and it just turns out to be rhetoric...
You people can't seem to grasp that the majority take Trump's position...
Cruz is not going to fix Washington...We know that...It needs to be torn down and started over...
Either Cruz or Trump will be in the news related to the election come September 2016. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be nice, but mark my words.
I won’t vote for the crony capitalist. Under any circumstances at all.
I can’t even read the responses.
Everyone who thinks Cruz would even be considered as VP are dreadfully wrong.
Those who think Cruz would ACCEPT VP are nuts. Why would a brilliant man with well founded conservative credentials ruin his career to babysit the new whiny baby in chief? Duh.
I agree with you. Cruz has baggage that his supporters are ignoring. I would be happy with him on Trump’s ticket but I do not think he will be able to win this election in the Presidency slot. He is not popular outside the conservative camp. I think he has compromised to get money to campaign and favors are owed to his larger supporters. I agree completely that he is not popular on the hill and that things will be an uphill battle for him that may result in an inability to put his ideas into action.
Trump on the other hand is a candidate that is inspiring people to cross the aisle and haas shown much more general support. Trump is better suited to clean the stable. His tenure would set the stage for Cruz or another conservative to follow and accomplish more than they could at this time.
Your logic would result in a country where only billionaires could get elected. I don’t see my interests aligning too well with interests of the all-billionaire government. Well unless I get a billion dollars, then we’ll see eye to eye.
