more nonsense about ted. Why Can’t ANYBODY face that ted does better against hillary than trump? fox, quinippac, nbc etc.

cruz wins by 1 donald loses by 3.

i believe the polls that say trump will win the nomination, jut like a believe the polls saying he is losing to hillary.

his unfavorability number is stratospheric.

i hope he gets it down..

ted is in his mid 40s. great showing for a first run.

2024 will come soon enough. all the years do.

Because Ted is only ahead in those polls because the media wants Ted vs. Hillary and Trump is low at the moment because of a fractious primary and Ted supporters being pissed that Trump is winning and won’t vote for him at the moment. I see it on here everday. The Cruz supporters whining that Trump is terrible and not a Godly man. Haven’t met one Trump supporter that would not vote Cruz in general. Blame the Cruz supporters for any current low head to head polling for Trump. 9 months is a long time. It will change and Trump will dissect Hillary or Bernie like he has everyone else.

Mainly because people keep using info from a long way back, one poll, and keep repeating that Cruz does better against Hillary.

If he cannot win the GOP primaries, he can’t beat Hillary.

That is common sense.

Cruz is losing to Trump by 20 points in the a primary but would beat Hillary in the general? LMAO. That must be some good stuff you are drinking. TPA Teddy would be lucky to win 10 states in the general and deep down you know that.

Because it makes no sense that Cruz would do better than Trump in the general. He’s touted as the most conservative, most Christian - which should have him screaming ahead with Republicans- which he is not. So him doing better amongst independents and crossovers makes no sense at all. Most politicians move to the middle to appeal to those groups. Also Trump’s support comes from all swaths of Republican voters - setting him up well for the general. Cruz’s appeal is limited to ultra-conservative (which I am but support Trump) and evangelical.

Thirdly, Trump hasn’t gone after Clinton or Bernie yet. Polls showed Carter winning too.

Ted IS doing great for his first run. So is Trump!

This —> “cruz wins by 1 donald loses by 3.”

That is basically a dead heat. There is nothing definitive about those numbers.

Hypothetical matchups this far out are a complete waste of time.

Don’t you remember how Romney needed to be the nominee because he “crushed” Obama in the hypotheticals?

It’s about as useful as saying Ted Cruz is the only candidate who can beat Big Bird in November.

These matchups are a misleading way for the Establishment to foist their candidates on you. It plants the seed in your head that your candidate is doomed, and their candidate is the only hope.

The only hypothetical matchup that matters is the personal sniff test each individual gives to a candidate before deciding to support someone. “Is this person more generally appealing to me than [whoever]?”

Going with your own best instincts on that question is infinitely better than caring about PAC, MSM, and internal “hypothetical polls”. They are BS. The R vs. D polling doesn’t matter until the candidates on each side are written in stone.

It doesn’t matter what gets faced.

Trump is winning. That is reality.

Years ago there was a thread on how to manipulate a poll to make your opponent look bad or to get the opponent you want. It was very informative. Obviously many peoples are aware that the negatives can be manipulated

If Cruz can beat Hillary, how come he loses more than 2 to 1 against Trump?

To paraphrase Karl Rove, if Cruz could get above 25 percent he would have already done so, it’s because he has a low ceiling.

________________________________________________
That's because he is a tough talking, steel spined, bad-ass, take no prisoners kind of guy. People flock to him because of obvious strong leadership qualities. The last thing we need is another nice guy with no proven record of actually being able to close a deal and advance ours' and the Country's interests. Cruz is a hard nosed patriot too, but his interpersonal skills are horrible with his high pitched voice that projects as preachy, snippy, and condescending, sort of like Mark Levin's. I refuse to use the old timeworn, conventional party labels anymore which, in my opinion, promotes tribal warfare. Choices should be made by judging the man as to what he brings to the table and whether he can actually get the job done for the Country.

The real nonsense is judging NOW how Trump (who is running against Cruz and the others) will do against Hillary when he actually starts running against her.

He is the ONLY one who will be able to demolish the media wall that will surround her.

Mr. Trump, take down that wall!

Rubio does better than either of them vs Clinton, he actually wins. Trump loses, Cruz ties (within MoE). Rubio beats Sanders, the other two lose.

We were told over and over that only Bush could beat Carter. Reagan had NO chance according to the polls. To vote for Reagan in the primary was to vote for Carter.
