Time for Trump to stop hedging and really go for it!!

…or a jackass race.

Yeah, I’m sick to death of him pussy-footing around. He needs to speak up, and tell the voters what he’s really thinking, instead of doing all that “triangulating.”

CW is that this is an outlier. Other polls, national and state don’t reconcile with this.

This will be good news if Trump stomps off to run as an independent. He will never think it is something he said or did to cause a drop off, but he will find someone else to blame and the easiest is NBC or the RNC. Cruz is even more dreadful, but divided, they can be conquered.

Cruz would have been further ahead than that, had he not gone Nixonian in Iowa, messing with the hapless Carson and Carson’s “continuance” in his campaign which has all the trappings of ineptitude.
That’s what being lizard does…one never sees the big picture slithering on the ground.

I shouldn’t care about this (because both are dead men walking in the general election…and both are repulsive douche bags), but I hate Cruz so much more than Trump that I’m actually hoping Trump wins.

I thought Trump finally jumped the shark at the debate – he is no longer running for the GOP nomination. He is running a third party campaign. Oh PLEASE let it come to pass.

Trump: “They’re lying…they’re liars telling lying lies to support a liar like Cruz! ____ Bow down before me!
#Respect my AU-THOR-UH-TIE!!!”
Time to pull out all the stops, Donald! Time for the gloves to come off…and force em’ all, especially those ferriners’, Cubans Cruz and Rubio, to scream in their native tongues: “NO MAS!”

I suspect it’s an outlier.

“Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) edged ahead of Donald Trump in a new national poll out Wednesday, a sign that Trump was wounded by his last debate performance.”
I find it highly unlikely that enough Republicans watched the debate to make the numbers shift that radically (even if they all agreed that his performance was bad). Either this poll is an outlier or there is some larger trend at work. Can’t be the result of one debate.

I’ll be really disappointed if there’s any legs to this poll, because seriously … Ted Cruz?
But in my opinion, any tightening has less to do with his statements of Bush not keeping us safe and more to do with how whiny he comes across when he starts threatening to sue Cruz over every little thing like he is now. Citizenship is one thing, but over Cruz accusing him of being pro-choice?
But since GOP establishment wants him to fall over violating their sacred propaganda cow of Bush keeping us safe, that’s the way Cruz’s gains will be spun.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Cruz, R-oil slick, the most malodorous of the pack getting the nomination, plus Drumpf going indie and tearing the GOP apart. Flip the Senate AND the house despite gerrymandering? It could all be possible.

No one** cannot say that the Republicans manifestly deserve this.

OMG . Where did you find that?

A year ago, I would have said there was no way. Now I’m beginning to wonder. The House gerrymandering is pretty tough to overcome, but I can see any number of Senate candidates being dragged down along with a Cruz or Trump candidacy.

Regardless of whether it is Trump or Cruz, it is pretty sick that more than 50% of Republicans primary voters choose one of these two as their candidate.
