I agree. Of course to FReepers, Cruz is a household name.

True.

We often forget that *here* is not “out there”.

Those who still have the bumper stickers on their cars can always go out and look.

I like Ted Cruz he would be a number two for me but the problem is that the TPP was just done way too poorly way to shabby for the country. We were never protected at all and he was part of it and so was his wife.
Plus no matter how you cut it cruz has to have big donors and they’re going to expect something. I know it’s difficult to run without them but you’ve got you know The Donald who doesn’t owe anybody.

then get back to me.

You don't get it, the GOPe will never let him in. If Trump is knocked out it will be Rubio that the GOPe will support and truth be told I have no clue where the Trump supporters turn. I would guess that might even turn on why they think he dropped out.

I have been watching these things since Dewey Beat Truman and this one confuses me no end. Entertaining though.

...it declare Trump Cruz was born in Canada and whether that is a legal issue or not, it certainly will become a campaign issue with late night commie jokesters racking up plenty of laughs at Cruz's expense.

I believe you meant Cruz instead of Trump but I get your point here.

I also guess US natural born Citizens born to US military people overseas is joking material as well to you Trumpeteers.

That is pretty low class when you think about it.

If a Hispanic Republican cannot get the Hispanic vote in 2016, it is a fair bet that D’s will forever hold them in their pocket like the blacks. I don’t trust any poll, and prefer to wait until votes are actually cast.

Hillary voters are people that will vote for her no matter what. I think there are many historically D voters that are swinging towards staying home or batting for the other team this go around.

A totally solid conservative candidate has ZERO chance of winning the general given the current electorate of the US.

All that needs to be done is motivate more voters. Something like 40% of citizens register to vote, and of those only 30% actually cast a ballot. There are a lot of people turned off that when “turned on” can make the country turn on its ear.

The GOPe does not have the power to determine who the GOP nominee is. This is not 2008 or 2012.

"HISPANIC" is a relatively new term, which is completely MEANINGLESS !

Cubans are VERY different from Mexican who are completely different from Puerto Ricans, who couldn't be farther away from Argentinians if they tried and on and on and on!

Many Hispanics are for TRUMP; as are at least 25% of the black vote!

Time will tell if this is true. Believe it when I see it is usually the best rule.

Ok then, a little less than three weeks and we will know something, maybe everything.

Yes I did. Thanks for noting.

After WW II GI's were beginning to bring babies back from Europe and if you had asked any of those GIs if their children could become President I imagine to a man they would have said no, because that was taught in schools back when students could go through school and actually learn to read.

Outside an earthquake, the winner in Iowa is not going to be one of the GOPe creatures.

And Cruz won’t get the black and Hispanic votes that Trump gets, nor the Indies and not even all of the GOP base.

You're right. I fear he may be another "Romney" in terms of the voters he DOESN'T pull.
