I do not support Trump either but he definately has done the political process a service....he has changed the narrative such that the important topics that should and need to be discussed are now in the forfront of the debate.

Cruz is my man and Trump has opened the door good and wide for him to burst through and out of the pack.

The most important thing he has done is shown that you don't have to grovel and apologize for simply telling the truth. That seriously frightens the politically "correct."

He’s going to have to burst quite a bit. The avg of polls has him at 5.7% after Huckabee and Carson.

I hope you are right. I do think he does give a strong Conservative candidate, like Cruz, the opportunity to be the guy who agrees with Trump on illegals, but also is a real Conservative with a track record to prove it and knows what he is talking about on all the issues.

I think Cruz has done a good job of being strong on the issues but staying above personal attacks. He has graciously welcomed every GOP candidate into the race on FB, but has made it clear where he differs with them.

He also is great at answering left wing media gotcha questions and turning them around on them.

It hasn’t gone past me and I think when it comes to picking a winner at this point in time for the Presidential contest. FR’s should really hold off till they see the whites of their eyes (with the particular exception of Bush and Lindsey) when it come to the rest of these candidates including Trump.

Cruz took a pitch from McConnell and turned it into a bases full, out of the park home run. That is where the news focus should have been this entire weekend. On what is going on in the Senate and the b/s by McConnell and on Cruz..

Instead what happened ? One of Walker’s funders at the same time probably unaware or un-coordianted with what Cruz did takes a swipe at Trump. Walkers press people disclaim it. The focus is still on Cruz’s vs McConnell action.

Trump ignores the Walker presser’s no no. Claims he can’t wait for a Walker back off. But what is really happening in the news cycle is that Cruz has grabbed the headlines focused on what’s really going on in the Senate. Focused on two issues besides cronyism; Import Export Bank, and Baby Parts.

Trump dumps on Walker with garbage also the Hill & Billy show.

Poof! The attention moves from the Senate cronyism bank issue because the GOPES and the media don’t want that IE bank issue up front. And push Trump to the front page. So we’re talking all about Trump again. Luckily the baby part issue hasn’t gone away but Cruz is off the front page and so is the IE bank issue.

Trump could have waited to bang away at Walker or even jumped on the IE bank issue. Instead what did he do ? If it were not for Hannity and Levin that door would be shut.
