Cruz unloads on Trump after slipping in South Carolina polls
The Hill ^ | 2/17/2016 | Ben Kamisar

The incoming fire appears to have taken a toll in South Carolina, a state that had been seen as favorable territory for Cruz due to its conservative and evangelical bent.

But new polls released this week show Cruz trailing by double digits, with Trump poised for a huge win in the state on Saturday. Wednesday's Monmouth University poll gives Trump 35 percent support, nearly doubling Cruz, who garnered just 19 percent.

Trump's lead extends to the very evangelical community that Cruz had expected to win in large numbers.

I love that song and much of her work.


Me too. I just read her story on Wikipedia. So twisted up by drugs. Too bad.

Much as I like Cruz, if he can’t win the Bible Belt vs Trump then supporting him is simply a fool’s errand.

Yes, sorry (multi tasking here.)

How’s this?

Dear Sir or Madam:

Hey. We know that. All of us here know that you’re going to sit this one out if Trump is the nominee and not vote.

You’re a phony just like this Cruz fella. You don’t care about this country, you care about yourself.

So, Grow up.

Love & Kisses,

me

Enjoy the ultimate failure of your proto-fascist. He can’t win nationally without actual conservative support on Election Day. I have voted for enough RINOs since 1988. Buh-bye.

Trump is conservative enough. LIke he says, he’s common sense conservative. He’s not a professional mouth piece.

Cruz would have had my vote had Trump not convinced to go with him. But now, the guy is ineffective. No one like him.

His following is small.

Sorry, no likey, and after Saturday it’s over for your guys.

Trump says lots of shit. That anyone believes a word of it is the miracle. That miracle will evaporate come the general election.

Prepared to be pissed off a lot. Everyone else running is more purely conservative than Trump is.

“People want solutions, not how many Conservatives can dance on the head of a pin, ideological debates.”

I agree. We need politicians that are honest, ethical and loyal to America and to make our country prosperous for its citizens, instead of the political baloney that has us promoting PC, wars other countries, and the self promoting greatness of political Parties.

I’m not 100% immersed in the belief Trump won’t leave us sitting. I really hope not. But I haven’t seen Trump lie or target anyone except when they lie or target him. He’s been pretty straightforward about what he supports and what he is doing unlike most establishment politicians. To my knowledge he isn’t working the sneaky back room deals.

That is childish. People are turned off with Elmer Gantry like people, who are always telling you how pure they are. Trump NEVER boasts about how pure he is. Trump always talks about what he will do...MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

Cruz has never built a small backyard fence. He has no clue how to build a real wall 1000 miles long.

Cruz’s mistake was running a campaign of ideolgoical purity in a year when voters are fed up with poltics as usaul.

All the high flying retroic on ideological purity are meaningless to a voter who been underemployed since 2008,is worried if his employer is going to move his job to Mexico tomorrow and whose kids go to a corrupt, incompetent, gang infested school.

People want solutions, not “how many Conservatives can dance on the head of a pin”, ideological debates.

You're suffering from BVS, or Battered Voter Syndrome. Those afflicted like you, get repeatedly lied to, abused and betrayed, yet keep coming back for more and more. There is no cure for those in late stages like you seem to be.

Trump’s entire candidacy is built on a foundation of lies.
