The Cruz Surge
 

So if the Republicans manage to take down Trump, it appears that Cruz may be in position to take the lead.

Yes, but the Republican establishment hates Cruz too. The difference is that Cruz may be less likely to trigger a revolt within the party and cause a brokered convention.

Cruz seems to be picking up Carson supporters while Trump's support remain unchanged. So now the Trump attack on Cruz has officially begun, first by questioning his judgement and today calling Cruz 'a maniac in the senate'.
So a Trump/Cruz pairing can either seal them the nomination or give us endless entertainment.

I hope they continue to squabble and entertain us! Cruz is also a D-bag!

"I don't think he has the right temperament. I don't think he's got the right judgment. When you look at the way he has dealt with the Senate, where he goes in there like a, you know, frankly, like a little bit of a maniac -- you are never going to get things done that way."

- Donald Trump

No irony there, eh?

Isn't he that inbred weasel? You know..the guy that looks like the creepy inlaw everyone avoids......?

Cruz is now a solid second.

Cruz is just the beneficiary of Carson's implosion. That being said, Cruz is seen by many as "Electable Trump" but the fact is, he's much worse. His ideas and his thought processes are profoundly frightening.

We know and so does GOP that Cruz is dangerous, no one really knows how dangerous Trump will be. So fear of the unknown will be a driving factor as Kasich, Fearina, Christie et. al drop out of the race. Cruz has already offered Rubio a position in his presumptive presidency. ;)

Yesterday a poll comes out showing Trump leading Cruz by only 4 points.

Today one comes out showing him leading by a whoping 21 points.

This is why you can't go by any one poll.

However it is obvious from the aggregate of polls that Trump is leading.

When you take the average of the last 8 polls from the Real Clear Politics site, Trump has a 17 point lead.

Ted Cruz Is Worse
 

I continue to maintain that of all the candidates on the Republican side, Trump is the least worse.

So what? That's like saying that, compared to ebola and Dengei fever, dysentery is the least worse.

The mortality rate for Ebola is about 70%

For Dengei fever it's about 1%.

So yeah, that's probably a reasonable analogy.

There goes Tailgunner Ted's outsider street cred with the news that Ted took a big 'off the books' loan from Goldman/Sachs for his Senate campaign. :rolleyes:

Between this unreported loan, the issues surrounding his citizenship and the fact that the Party simply hates his guts, Cruz may be finished.

I can hear the long knives being sharpened in the T'Rump camp as we talk. ;)

Tailgunner Ted made a swipe at 'New York values' today. Oops.

The Karolina Klownfest tonight might be fun!:D

Like a flaming train wreck. ;)

Cruz got obliterated tonight. Trump nailed his punk a$$ed hide to the barn door. :D

Did the Goldman Sachs loan issue come up in the debate?

He sure did.:D

I think it's hillarious that Trump is playing "Born in the USA" at his rallys to taunt Cruz.:D

I know the Boss doesn't like Republicans to use his music, but I think an exception is warranted in this case. :)

I think Trump should get T-shirts made with the NY Daily News cartoon and send people to Ted Cruz's rally's. That should flip Ted on his head.

What could possibly be more 'New York Values' than an under-the-table loan from a giant Wall Street bank?

WaPo's editorial today is a good read.

'Mr. Cruz’s Wall Street hypocrisy'

Once an oversight but twice? See ya, Tailgunner Ted.

Next GOP debate is in Iowa on January 28. Iowa's caucus is on February 1.
He is toast and could not have wished it on a nicer guy.

And he follows it up with what has got to be the lamest "apology" ever made.:rolleyes:

Wow. Now we have something to put in the textbooks as the classic example of 'weasel words.'

Stick a fork in Cruz Missile Ted. He's done.

perma-smirk became a frown. poor ted. :(

Trump is going after Ted like only he can and does.

Donald Trump just shredded NY-hater Ted Cruz in 6 Tweets
Last one is a bit weak but what the heck.

We had the Alzheimer President and now maybe we could have a truly mentally ill President. :)

Nice thought but unfortunately he's dreaming.

When your enemy is down, kick him. :D

Should not matter, timing is the key here. Lots of chatter just before Iowa and NH. Citizenship question plays well in Iowa and the Goldman Sachs loan will play well in NH.

Now this is funny!

The Master deBater! Oh, insidiously great! This will stick!

That was hilarious, the masterbater. :D

Word is, he master debated vigorously all of his time at Princeton. Must be his Canadian roots.
