Ted Cruz Campaign: 500,000 Votes Already Cast in Texas

[Rubystars]

Is Texas a take all state? I could go with any of of the other candidates except Rubio because he is just plain sickening.

It's a little bit complicated

I said this on youtube but I think that if Trump is the nominee we should probably vote for him to keep Hillary and Bernie out of the white house because at least during the first four years Trump will have re-election on his mind and he will want to throw the conservative base a bone or two not to completely alienate them... whereas Hillary and Bernie will be under no obligation to do so.

There are alot of polls out there...Personally I  will just wait and see...As of today Cruz has been a  Horrible Failure...Remeber this guy was down at the border with  Glenn Beck..Thats when I knew he was also full of s.h.it..Basically you can kiss this Country good bye

Go back up Mike Guzofsky's tuchus you pseudo Jewish troll.

Not fair to say that Cruz's campaign negletes the economy. He is the only one who actually offer a huge reform of abolishing the IRS and bizantine tax codes in favor of low flat tax. He cannot play Santa Clause like the liar opponent Trump (and every other Democrat for that matter).

True it's just the way they packaged it and present themselves has been lacking.

 He should by all means win in Texas G-d willing which will be magnificent and help
 him enormously and on to the other states where they'll hopefully come to their senses
 and do what is right.

Alright you're the expert here, who is Rashi?

Scroll back up in this thread (on the first page), click on him and do a history of his posts. He is a baiting, flaming troll who is always accusing Chaim of begging and of JTF not being a professional organization. I think he is someone from our old nemesis, the Guzofsky forum ("kahane".org), not sure who.

What I can't understand is how from January to february the support of trump among tea party voters surged dramatically while ted cruz among the same group LOST significant amount of support.  I thought tea party people were conservatives.

They may be conservative but it's more about border security and the economy with them... Cruz concentrated on the religious right which don't seem to be supporting him in any great numbers.

But he was elected as tea party guy and was consistently anti immigration.  How does someone focus on religious right?  He campaigned only in churches?  I didn't see trump set himself apart on economy in the debates and considering cruz proposed detailed overhaul of whole tax system.   Also only the "wall" shtick sets trump apart on border security but it's frankly a cartoonish joke.

A candidate don't have to campaign in churches to appear to far to the right for today's voting population... Cruz needed to tone down the anti-abortion rhetoric... Most people when asked will say they are anti-abortion but in actuality they are quite comfortable with the law as it stands now... They like planed parenthood and most people today are even comfortable with the change that allows same sex unions... Every time Cruz attacked Trump on abortion and planned parenthood he was doing himself in... Sadly people today don't place the same value on issues like this as they did 20 or 30 years ago... People today don't want the government controlling their social issues... People are just not going to vote for someone that brings that issue up to often.

Ted should win Texas.

[Zelhar]

The only way to avoid being tagged as anti-abortion is to say women have right to choose (you have to use the laundered term otherwise you are already tagged a sexist bigot) and that government must be responsible for paying the bills for their choice.

People feel so betrayed they don't know who to trust.
The whole thing is frustrating.  Praying hard for Cruz today.
