You know what this reminds me of?

The libs threats to sue Cruz re: NBC is exactly what they did to Sarah Palin. They were filing lawsuit after lawsuit which the Alaskan citizens would have had to pay for her defense. They kept her so tied up in litigation, she resigned because they in essence kept her from governing her state. Then they called her a quitter.

Their tactics are so vile, so typical of commies. That’s what they would do to Cruz if he prevails.

GA is all in for Trump as well as the rest of the SEC. You never even hear Cruz’s name. Everybody is talking about Trump.

I live in Sugar Land just southwest of Houston. We have a lot of Cruz supporters here.

Is Trump still leading in the TX polls?

Yes, in the national polls, which are useless based on how they’re determined. Locally, Cruz is leading by a large margin since we have closed primaries. Nobody here likes Trump much, I guess, because I have yet to meet anyone that supports Trump or meet anyone that even knows of anyone supporting Trump. I’ll be surprised if Trump breaks 20% in the primaries. Texas is Cruz Country!

Oh, and to clarify. Trump is leading in two of the 15 national TX polls by only 2% which is a statistical tie and the tie usually goes to the incumbent. Cruz is leading in the other polls so it just depends on which polls you want to cite.

As far as the South Goes....Cruz was on his tour there while all other candidates were munching at the fairs...including Trump.

I followed that tour and it was amazing how Cruz worked it and the crowds that came out to see him....working as he did in Iowa...small groups grassroots events, talking about the issues people are concerned about.

So I'm not worried about the south...he'll do fine but is already in many states most aren't "watching" for...his grassroots people, working for him, are in the thousands across the nation....fun to watch!

New Hampshire

...."Trump and the media are working together and since the mainstream media ONLY works with liberals, that just provides more evidence that Trump is a liberal in sheep’s clothing".....

It’s kinda crazy that people here would turn on our most reliable conservative friends for years and years ... Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin ... if they say a single word of criticism about Trump.

With friends like y’all ...

It’s really nothing new...

Over the years a few notables have posted here. We lose them during election seasons. It’s become a fact of nature and FR.

Rush has turned me off. I prefer Jeff Kuhner’s show! He’s a great conservative, family man, defender of our Constitution, and also from Canada, but is now a us citizen. His show is on weekdays noon to 3 since he went national out of Boston.

I followed that tour

Nice. I'm waiting for Carson to drop out. Hopefully after NH. The race will tighten up overnight.

The reason I ask is because I would expect Cruz to win his own state but the last poll for TX I saw Trump had a pretty good lead. So far other than TX Iowa seems to be the only place Cruz is competitive so I don’t see a path for him to the nomination.
