Ted Cruz Says Donald Trump's Voters Have "relatively low information" And Are "not that engaged"
CBN News ^ | March 10, 2016 | David Brody

Posted on 03/10/2016 6:23:01 AM PST by VitacoreVision

GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz tells The Brody File that the reason Donald Trump is performing well in the GOP race for president is because his voters are uninformed and not engaged in the process. “Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed.” Hunch: I’m thinking Trump and his “Silent Majority” may push back on this just a bit don’t you think? Lots to unpack here but for now, here’s the clip.

Our interview was done Wednesday afternoon in Miami.

What an elitist scumbag.. Just like LOSER Romney. He lost me for good and I’m Trump or bust at this point and writing him in if this newly appointed King of the establishment royalty class is nominated.
Let this be his undoing.

Wow! This is up there with Lindsey Graham’s “We’re going to tell the bigots to shut up.” over the amnesty bill.

We don’t want what they are selling and WE are the problem. I’ve lost all respect for Cruz. What an insulting thing to say.

There are just 3 cruz voters on this thread and one has repeated what crzu said the other two are repeating cruz talking points, instead of addressing their guy insulting.

really shows some ignorance their behalf and they don’t even see it.

Rule #1 to being the smartest guy in the room is that you don't go around telling everyone that you are.

I agree with your point completely - and that is why I have such a hard time believing Trump can win the general election.

His ENTIRE CAMPAIGN is telling the voters he is the smartest man in the room. That everyone else is stupid and have made terrible deals, and only HE is so smart and such a great businessman, that he is the most fantastic, mighty greatest Trump.

I mean come on. Think about it. That is his entire campaign so far. that he is better than every other politician.

And yet his same supporters that cheer trump everytime he says something like that , are now mad at Cruz for acting like his supporters are smarter.

Trumpbots are emotionally attached to flipping the bird and thinking Donald can get away with his lack of civility on their behalf. Suckers for sound bytes.


According to the FR straw poll “trumpbots” outnumber Cruz supporters 3/1. Could be rough in November for the GOP if the “low info” “trumpbots” follow the Romney Rule and write in their preferred candidate. Be careful what you wish for, FRiend.

How many times has DT insulted me? Shirley you are not suggesting that DT picks up other candidates voters after they drop out. Bottom line - there are facts in there. Trump supporters do not care about his record, close ties with dems, policies which he changes all the time or lack of knowledge on issues. Because his supporters know and don’t care makes seems like defacto low info voters.
On a practical level, Cruz will never get most Trump voters anyway, those to whom records and demeanor matter have already discounted Trump. And there are more than enough gop voters to overcome DT when it does one to one.

This is worse than Obama’s “bitter clinger” moment. Obama was insulting Republican voters he didn’t need in the general election. Cruz is insulting voters he will desperately need in the general.

Why, here's just *ONE* meaningful, thoughtful, detailed response that trump-pets eat up! How can you call them "low-info" voters when trump's educating them with this gem:

AND if you're *still* somehow not convinced that trump will "Make America Great Again"(tm), consider this undeniable, unassailable, *irrefutable* logic:
IT'S WRITTEN ON HIS HAT!!

Trumpbots are emotionally attached to flipping the bird and thinking Donald can get away with his lack of civility on their behalf. Suckers for sound bytes.

And Ted's Unstables rely on his surrogates (Beck, Campaign Manager) to do his dirty work while Ted stays above the fray. That's called being slimy. Of course Cruz supporters aren't emotionally attached to Ted, why, they would never call people names who don't support their guy. Would they?

When supporters are attached emotionally, they act emotionally. Mature adults recognize the foolishness of feeling rather than thinking.

Project much?

Laura Ingraham is blasting him right now. She’s playing and replaying his ‘more in sadness than anger’ unctuous attack on Trump voters. What a maroon.

Actually, Trump repeatedly says he will bring other smart guys in to negotiate and advise. He even mentions specific business and political leaders such as Carl Icahn and Jeff Sessions. He never claims to be doing this alone like everyone-hates-me Ted.

But maybe you are too low info to know what Trump actually says?

Cruz ain’t playing in any general. Utter delusion. You’d win more states than him.

Shorty wants to insult the very people he needs to win. Smart move, not.


Nope. Cruz is campaigning for Rubio, Kasich and “anti-Trump” voters right now. Cruz has thrown conservatives under the bus. Their will be more of this guaranteed.

“So Ted Cruz just insulted a massive number of GOP Trump supporters. “

I was insulted the moment a foreign born, Bush lackey 44 year old lawyer, first term congressman with NO executive experience announced a run for president.
