When Trump Fizzles Out, Ted Cruz Might Rise To The Top

Ted Cruz’s recent surge in the polls should terrify everyone…especially considering that if Donald Trump’s momentum begins to fizzle out, Cruz will be in a perfect position to take the lead gong into the 2016 elections.

Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

Having the crooked Canadian here turns us into Canada's diaper.

Either way, it will be a landslide for the Dem candidate.

He's already endured six months longer than I thought he would. If he can maintain his current course and pick up some supporters of the disappearing Carson, then he might actually win the nomination.

carry the child to term - no abortion no matter what.

Lindsey Graham blasts Ted Cruz at D.C. forum
http://onpolitics.usatoday.com/2015/12/03/lindsey-graham-ted-cruz/

“If the nominee of the Republican Party will not allow for an (abortion) exception for rape and incest, they will not win,” Graham said. “Ted Cruz doesn’t have an exception for rape or incest.”
...
His attacks on Cruz mirrored those he made on RealClearRadio, an interview in which Graham called Cruz “an opportunist” who “has done more to allow ISIL (the Islamic State) to gain a foothold in Syria than any senator other than Rand Paul.”


He might be Trump's VP but that ticket isn't going to win (though I think they're just setting us up for Rubio)

Let's see:

1. born in another country -- check

2. citizenship in that country until just a few months ago -- check

3. foreign-born father -- check

4. American-born mother -- check

5. hasn't produced his birth certificate -- check

Sounds like he is a viable candidate to be Obamatized

that must also be presented to the INS offices of both Canada and the US. Cruz is probably hoping to hold up the election just like he has shut down the government before and let the Supreme Court make another 2000 type election decision. Trump has worked with foreigners in the beauty pageant business.
