Discussion: Cruz: I'm Now The 'Only Person In This Field Who Can Beat' Trump

Discussion for article #245848

ā€œWhat Iowa and New Hampshire demonstrate is that the only person in this field who can beat Donald Trump is me."

So that’s why you lost to Trump in NH by double digits?

One more reason not to sit through that upcoming debate.

So?

There is absolutely nothing that could get me to root for Trump but Ted’s idea comes damn close.

The shorter version of Cruz’s remarks: Vote for me. I’m an even bigger asshole than Trump.

ā€œIf you campaign against Donald saying, ā€˜Hey, I’m more liberal than you, I’m more into amnesty than you, I’ll be softer on radical Islamic terrorists than you,’ it doesn’t work, as we’ve seen twice in Iowa and New Hampshire,ā€ he said.

What the hell is he talking about? Republicans in this race range from neandrathal conservatives to Atila the Hun type conservatives. Talk about a straw man.

Plus, there’s always Hillary and maybe Bernie.

He just painted the HUUUUUGEST target on himself.

Better stock up on popcorn!

This is definitely a case of a pox on both their houses.

Dear Republican Primary Voter, your choices are Donald J. STrumpette or Ted ā€œKarnivalā€ Cruz. You’ve simply got to ask, ā€œIf those are the answers, WTF is the question?ā€

He could have won if he had wanted to.

He’s just treading water as the sharks circle. He’s got nothing.

I think he’s wrong. Cruz is the perfect target for a guy that shoots like Trump. Trump demeans people and no one likes Cruz. Trump’s safe to go all out on Cruz.

Frankly I'd feel better if politicians would come down hard on uneducated white guys with the middle name of "Wayne". That would do more good than hassling Muslims.

I wonder, do people actually believe what he is saying when he is lying, which is most of the time?

Piggy, piggy, piggy! Oh, and wrong too!

Trump, meet Cruz: Pot, meet kettle. Both are icons of the dark side.

He’s speaking to Republicans. The same people Trump has convinced he’s going to strong-arm Mexico into parting with billions to build a wall for our benefit. The same people that believe it’s possible to forcibly remove 11 million immigrants from our borders.

Actually, many of us could beat him. And we want to. But we’d be arrested.

Yeah, but Raphael, I get the very clear idea that they prefer Trump to you.

I know I do - if we’re going to lose this thing, which is very possible, I’d much rather lose to Trump. He’s fluid; you’re set in concrete crazy.

Is Cruz saying here that Christie could have beat Trump?

Chris only suspended his candidacy. He didn’t say he wouldn’t return if the party needed him to stop traffic someplace or expel a Cuban Canadian. Don’t count your chickens before the fat man sings.
