He might actually be on to something there. This could be a GOP nominating contest where no one candidate wins more than 1 of the early primaries. Nevada was not discussed in this article. Not sure what the polling looks like there yet. IA Caucus is on 2/2,NH on 2/9,SC on 2/20 and the NV Caucus on 2/23. After that is Super Tuesday on 3/1 with these states:
Alabama
Arkansas
Colorado caucuses
Georgia
Massachusetts
Minnesota caucuses
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Tennessee
Texas
Vermont
Virginia
Florida is not an early state in 2016.

Clearly Ted you need another endorsement to pull even with the Smarter Bush Brother (SBB). I understand the Duggar family is available…

Message to Ted which he should share with the other four senators who are running. In the modern era, only two senators have been elected president, and both were singular figures; JFK and Barack Obama. None of today’s batch is nowhere near that special.

But Cruz suggested he’s far more competitive than Bush across the nation.
“We are competing nationwide. We’re putting together a team on the ground, a grassroots team nationwide,” Cruz said.
Then I hear all the conservative media exclaiming how intelligent Cruz is! He may be well-schooled, but he’s far from intelligent!

“[N]o one has ever won the nomination without winning at least one of those first three….”
Cruz is correct, of course.
The GOP nomination depends on securing one of the big three crucial prizes up front: Charles, David, or Sheldon.

Cruz could win primaries in Canada or Cuba!

“I think it’s an interesting challenge for a number of other of these candidates.”
It is an interesting challenge for you too Ted. Which state are you going to win?

I hope this evil fuck loses every primary he is in and then steps on his own balls in the debates.
Is that clear enough how I feel?

It’s lovely that this Bush should have to face Bush tactics from Senator Nixon, er Cruz…

Ted Cruz is working hard to win the Iowa primary. He has an unsavory former Sec. of State Matt Schultz as his state chairman. Schultz is principally known for wasting hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money in fruitlessly trying to drum up voter fraud cases. He also has the support of a RWNJ radio jockey Steve Deace who also supported the state winners in 2008 (Huckabee) and 2012 (Santorum.)

National Journal also recently reported that Bush was aiming to compete heavily in New Hampshire and try and win that early primary state in lieu of avoiding the Iowa caucus.
So Bush is aiming to compete in New Hampshire instead of avoiding Iowa? He’s not avoiding Iowa?
Look, I know I’m only a junior editor on a niche gaming news site, but TPM’s supposed to be better’n we are. Can we get an editor on this, please

Let’s give credit where due—if there’s any one thing Cruz is good at, it’s coming up with some sort of sophistry that momentarily conceals the fundamental weakness of his general argument. That’s what this is and it’s all he’ll ever have.

I bet Cruz is known to fart in church

Daniel Strauss is illiterate. I think this is some sort of sympathy job TPM has given him. He’s also got “try and win” when it should be “try to win.”

Well, I can think of one thing Cruz and Jebby have in common…
To be fair, whatever passes for an editor (and whomever does the headlines, for that matter) likely hasn’t taken an English class since eighth grade.

I support the one percent
And shutting down the government
I do not like the fu*king poor
I would use them in a war
I do not like when two men kiss
I do not like you atheists
I do not like the neutral net
I do not like a migrant threat
But I want your vote today
To bring about End Times…OK?
