HUFFPOLLSTER: Ted Cruz Is Now An Establishment Candidate To Most GOP Voters
Huffington Post ^ | 4/22/2016 | Natalie Jackson

GOP VOTERS NOW THINK OF TED CRUZ AS ESTABLISHMENT - HuffPollster: “Here’s the latest proof of how strange this primary cycle has become: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who’s long tried to leverage his colleagues’ loathing into a version of outsider cred, is overwhelmingly viewed by his party as an establishment candidate. In a new HuffPost/YouGov survey, 62 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters say that Cruz is more of an establishment candidate, while just 29 percent describe him as an outsider. That’s a marked shift since December, when just 36 percent considered him part of the establishment….While that might help Cruz make his case on the floor of a contested convention, it’s unlikely to endear him to his party — 62 percent say they’d prefer a political outsider. In contrast, just 26 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters say the same.“

And take their money. Some of the Cruz people think there are no strings attached to that.

Yep...when you join forces with The Bush syndicate what else are people supposed to think? They wouldn’t be funding him if he didn’t support Poppy Bush’s ‘New World Order’.

Ted can't be a sore loser because there ain't no dang winner yet!

America doesn't need a Whiner-in-Chief as President.

When you are a tool for the open border, free TRAITOR, NEOCON ‘let’s make war’ Bush administration, you are considered an INSIDER! Grass roots has woken up to this Rafael snake oil pusher.

When you’re a #TrumpSucker you’ll be too embarrassed to change your mind.

Suckers. Fooled by a fancy moneyed liar from New York. Jokes on you.

Yep, shout out lies long and hard enough, have a cable show that gives a candidate 4 billion in free advertising, and using a radical left wing website to make your point is going to resonate with some people.

We haven’t been conned. We know exactly what Trump is, warts and all. Trump is running on a very conservative platform so I will give him the opportunity to implement it. But in a larger sense, this country is so far gone that a conservative can’t win at the moment. That’s why Trump’s populism is so appealing. He can unite disparate elements of Republicans, Democrats and Indys and give this county a fighting chance. Build the wall and throw out the invaders. It’s funny how you and your Cruz cronies constantly call Trump a con man, when Cruz is the ultimate con man. But you see your guy how you do and I see mine as I do.

Love how all the Cruzers are in full shout down mode. Reflexive yelling because it’s Huff Post. Huff Post is an AGGREGATOR of poll data. It’s a YouGov poll. Mock all they want, Ted’s identified as an insider now. That’s what happens when ambition knows no bounds, you sell your soul.

Kevin Cline plays Ted Cruz in a new comedy!

He's the Inside-Outsider (in more ways than one!)

Texascajun siad:

“...as opposed to throwing in with the liberals like your con man Trump”

Talking point memo re “con man.” False. Trump has said for most of the election he was going to act more presidential after he defeated his opponents in the Primary. He defeated Cruz with New York. Thus hes going to act more presidential. Nothing more - no con involved.

“* Wants to change Republican platform on abortion”
Hes pro life but for the 3 exceptions which most Americans agree with. The absolute position the GOP has been on has not won any elections. This is common sense.

“* Wants to tax the rich”
This a untruth by omission. He has listed his tax plan for months and this is about getting rid of special interest loop holes in the tax law that people like Hillary and Cruz’s donors get but we do not.

“* Supports LGTB, males in female restrooms.”
The only issue in the hypothetical was Transgender not the whole perversion spectrum. With respect to transgender he was correct in that there were more problems with the law NC passed then it fixed. Many Many agree with him here. Cruz added to this and got caught.

“Dumbfounds me as to how many so-called Conservatives have been conned by this clown.”

Yet here you are supporting a Globalist who has sold Americans out to his Globalist mega donors several times, is funded by gay activists, hides his records and lies, etc.

This whole orchestrated rehash of “Trump is a liberal” push is about Indiana. Its failing.

“Honor is the gift a man gives to himself.”
Robert R. McGregor

A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Ted Cruz is roaming around in Bill Clinton land now.

Review your tagline. Time to take the country back, FRiend.
