Not sure. I think Cruz got slightly higher:

Cruz will only spiral downward from here. He’ll drop out soon after Super Tuesday. His base of support is very small and shrinking.

Trump still has got toe be the odds on favorite unfortunately. I think he wins NH tomorrow. Cruz will have to stop him SC. If he doesn’t and Trump wins SC, sadly I think Trump steamrolls through the rest of the way and we get stuck with another fraudulent, phony liberal as our nominee once again.

Nope, Trump has peaked, both in the primary, and the general:

Not only that, his RCP average head to head matchup shows him losing to Hitlary and Sanders right out of the box.

With zero personality and very low character.

Unlike certain other candidates, Cruz has a vocabulary above a third grade level, didn’t get caught up in a huge tabloid scandal after cheating on his first wife and didn’t write about having sex with married women in his books.

Article makes a very interesting point re: the party elites and the media.

It’s all based in NYC which has a greatly inflated view of its own importance.

And he’s never signed a paycheck on the front, either.

You mean, except for the huge support in key states like Texas.

And having tons of money on hand.

And having a deep and widespread organization.

I think Cruz will surprise everyone. He hasn’t come this
far to give up.

He has a plan, Trump has promises...

Cruz is my choice, but that won’t stop me from voting
Trump should the result of the primary turn out that way.
I hope the Trump supporters will feel the same way if
Cruz wins, we cannot allow a continuation of the liberal
regime!
