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.

Go Trump

What’s a half term Senator with no accomplishments going to do?

“Really stupid and bad move. Typical politician.”

Yeah, his arrogance sounded a lot like Linda Grahamnesty, Hillary, and Romney all wrapped up in one “true conservative” package.

I still say cut him some slack and Let’s hope he backs off it.

” If by some miracle he knock out Trump he will never get Trump voters to support him.”

I don’t know.

Not sure, but he just PO’ed a plurality of republican voters.

Not much of a “uniter”.

I hope Trump mentions Cruz’s stupid statement. This will be a big bump for Trump!!! Cruz sounds more & more like the insider he is.

I don’t take Low Information as being dumb or stupid. Too bad so many others do. I take it as uninformed. I’m uninformed about a multitude of things, maybe not politics and my beloved tennis, but about many a thing. And so are many who take a side and form an opinion based on emotion more than anything else. So, Cruz could have answered that question a whole lot better to his advantage instead of the way it comes across to most who equate “low information” with low intelligence. Definitely not the same.

Then tell me why they invest so much time and energy supporting a man who is and has been the recipient of Washington DC Government corruption. The very thing they are so MAD about!

In fact, Trump has been supporting financially these same corrupt DC politicians. And trumpies say "it's just business?" I know they do because I have read it here.

That's what ted meant when he used the term "low information".

The sad thing is that this "state of mind" cannot be corrected because they superglued to their beliefs, false beliefs.

A big part of my subconscious mind, occasionally reminds me that I secretly hope that the Trump support bunch gets exactly what they paid for......

Hint.....

They paid nothing..

The son even writes a book pushing the old man’s falsehoods. He further claims he too wants to fight for freedom. What has stopped the 1.2 million a year salaried Senator from joining the Army JAG Corps or any service law branch as a young attorney many years ago? I’ll tell you. Some folks just do things while others BS you and never do zip. That is Cruz. Cruz is bought and paid for.

True. Alcohol is very bad when abused like any drug. I have seen them go to drugs and stronger drugs. Sadly one of Cruz’s sister’s died from booze and drugs.

“Next”

I love you Rita...I assume from OK!

You and I would hit it off very well...would have so much to talk about...

You plead your case with enthusiasm...I like that!

I hope we can agree on either Trump or Cruz to defeat the Beast!

Next?

Trump voters aren’t dumb, disengaged, or “low information.” Seems to me they have all the information they need. (Quote from LS!)

Is this Cruz’s “bitter clingers” moment?

Maybe. But remember who won that election.

Thank you Mr. Cruz for validating my recent decision to unplug from the fake conservative party GOP, the RNC and the fake conservative fox network. So, I have low information? Really...help me understand that statement since it is from you and your cronies that I have been bombarded with information on how crooked you and the rest of you liars are on a daily basis. Not engaged? Seriously? Then how do you explain the masses of people who are showing up at your arch nemesis’ rallies, the polls and also the vast number of independents and Dem's who are coming out to vote for Mr. Trump? Once again your nimrod self along with the rest of the liars and deadbeats in govt. try to explain who I am and what I know. Here's a thought Teddy boy...take your opinion of me and stick it. How's that for engagement?
