He is certainly hammering exactly how Trump is winning.
What he has NOT yet done is to explain how the “real conservatives” don’t support Cruz in numbers as one would think they should. Why is Trump, in poll after poll, winning “conservatives” handily and tied/basically even with Cruz among the “very conservative?”
Please, please, please SOMEONE from the Cruz side address this.
Cruz is the next guy for the establishment to push. They do it in a different way than they do Jeb and Rubio, but they are doing it.

I live in Utah, reddest state in the Union.
I am shocked by the universal dislike of Ted Cruz.
Utahns like Mike Lee, yet they do not like Ted Cruz. When I ask people, who I know are politically very conservative, would you vote for Cruz, I always get the same gut level response of “I don’t like him, there’s something wrong with him”.
The dislike for Ted Cruz is visceral. I have no idea why that is but people are bothered by him.
You’re skewing those polls. Rush said today Trump and Cruz were even with conservatives and Cruz was far ahead with “very conservatives.” I heard the same thing after Iowa.
Cruz is simply not as well-known as Trump. He doesn’t have the celebrity name recognition. I just heard a Republican co-worker talking yesterday about the primary and he said he didn’t know anything about Ted Cruz. Obviously not someone who follows the news closely, but he will probably be voting in the primary. When you don’t know who Cruz is and the pollster calls you, Trump is the name you’re likely to pick out of the air. There are plenty of “low-info” Republican primary voters. These are the same ones Romney got to vote for him by bashing everyone else as unelectable and so forth. Trump has simply trumped the GOP’s usual advertising because of his huge celebrity name recognition. It’s not substance, it’s not quality, it’s celebrity.
I am a conservative and I support Trump. Is he as conservative as Cruz?No. The difference is I personally believe Trump is the best chance for taking the Presidency and helping turn the country around. I do not believe Cruz is strong enough to stand in the way of the GOPe and the Uniparty. Trump is more socially liberal than I but he is very much a conservative on my key issues. He is strong on economic and national security. He will secure our borders better than any other candidate. He has the knowledge to restart our economy in something other than name. The rest of the remaining candidates (except Carson) are nothing really but lawyers and politicians. They do not get creating jobs and wealth.
Lie food, clothing and shelter the above represent my basic needs for a President. We can deal with the social issues if we have those items addressed.
