I like the title: Even GOPers can’t stand Ted Cruz: Mike Huckabee unloads on Texas senator, calling him a “low-life” and a “sleazy” politician. Salon's a bit sensationalist, but still ^^

I think the main thing is to continue to air his dirty laundry, and let Trump hammer him from one side, and the establishment the other.

If the tea party vote can be convinced, 'no, the rest of the GOP really *will not back you on this guy*,' they're likely to shift to other candidates, like maybe Rubio (which would revitalize him).

First, there's no reason to make several reports within 2 minutes. Second, it's not wise to report a person when it also implicates you. Third, get back on topic. Last, if this continues there will be bans.

CNN was comparing Cruz's ground game to Obama's though, he has loyal followers, he won Iowa and came third in NW.

Sanders and Clinton tied in Nevada: http://freebeacon.com/politics/free-beacon-poll-clinton-and-sanders-tied-in-nevada/

Ehhh, the Washington Free Beacon....not sure about that.

I'd like it of course, but some polling seems very ideology driven.

Yea, he is putting a lot more together ground game than the others, and that matters a lot.

Oh!

Major, race-shaking news.

Jim Gilmore.... has dropped out.

None of the other candidates have publicly reacted to the news, but I presume they are scrambling to get his dozens of voters.

LMFAO

What the DNC is doing to Bernie is downright shameful

And I hope they all burn in hell for their treachery.

I read that earlier, it's really gross.

As someone who likes Sanders and who started pretty lukewarm if not receptive towards Clinton they're doing everything they can to ensure I do not support her if she does get the nomination. May just not vote at all if they keep this up.

Would you vote for Trump is it was Trump vs Clinton?

I think he would be the most moderate in office.

I doubt it. He'd have to start making major moves towards the middle once the general election started. More likely I may just not vote at all.

What do you consider Trumps political affiliation? Because he used to be far left, now he's trying to get the far right vote. In office, I see him a moderate.

Well I have to go by what he's currently saying, which would mean he's right wing for sure. If that changes in the general election then I suppose it's possible, but I doubt he'll move far enough to the left for me to seriously consider him.
