At best, Cruz is a flavor of the month.
Trump will probably go on the offensive soon because Iowa is absolutely crucial, but he has to be very careful about it.
Iowa isn't crucial lol. Santorum won in 2012. Huckabee won in 2008. If anything Iowa is irrelevant.
“So it’s very important for me to win Iowa,” Trump said during a campaign event in the Varied Industries Building on the Iowa State Fairgrounds. “Now, I could put less pressure on myself and say, ‘Oh, I don’t care about Iowa,’ but I do care. I do care so much about it. That’s why I’m here all the time.”
And Trump said if he wins Iowa’s Caucuses, he’ll be able to “run the table” in the following contests and secure enough delegates to avoid a nomination fight at the Republican National Convention.
Eh, Santorum & Huckabee won the last two Iowa caucuses in the Republican race. The crazies in Iowa don't have too much of an affect on the national race.

They're not going to butt heads until the absolute last possible minute. Both know their fanbases overlap almost 100% - only one can survive. Either they team up at the last minute for a united front, or they kill each other. Trump has the money and cult of personality, but Cruz has favor among Trump's audience + establishment respect.
I could see the party swarming to Cruz as the way out of the Trump hole. Then Cruz promising some level of access to Trump in the WH if he doesn't run independent.
Jeb and Rubio are the worst because they are a continuation of Neoncon Oil n Gas War War War to enrich Chenney and WolfofofofowitzI don't know what everyone dislike about Cruz. I see a lot of "Cruz is worse than everyone else " but I don't know what that means
Like, I know nothing about him because he's been so quiet. Carson and Trump are way but all I know about Cruz was he was the one who said that net neutrality is Obama care for the internet" which is really God damn stupid, but I don't know anything else about him.
Oh also that he's a Fucking idiot about abortion and contraceptives as well
There were plenty of Trump based threads on the first page:

Thank you. I was about to post this in PoliGAF:There are no Trump threads on the front page? What is this nonsense? Lets fix that.
Forgotten tab said:I don't get it. There's a thread when Trump farts, but not when he is beaten for the first time by Cruz?

He was part of the audience listening to a preacher talk about how homosexuals were going to/supposed to (I don't remember the exact wording) be executed because God said so.I don't know what everyone dislike about Cruz. I see a lot of "Cruz is worse than everyone else " but I don't know what that means
On the contrary, in this cycle it matters a lot and is the linchpin in the entire strategy to stop Trumps momentum.Iowa isn't crucial lol. Santorum won in 2012. Huckabee won in 2008. If anything Iowa is the most irrelevant of the early states.

Just do we're clear: I am saying that Trump winning Iowa means he will win the GOP nomination.
I hate Ted Cruz's guts and I'll say right now that he might be the smartest person running for president in either party.
The way he's able to manipulate and take advantage of his base is unparalleled.
He's the Emperor Palpatine of American politics.someone told me this week that Cruz is an extremely smart guy. Is that a prevailing belief amongst his fans?
How can you not when #TrusTed is leading?Enough with the corny Iowa puns
I'm listening....
Ted went to Princeton and Harvard.someone told me this week that Cruz is an extremely smart guy. Is that a prevailing belief amongst his fans?
For the record, Cruz's acceptability to the birther crowd is in large part because birtherism is dog whistle politics. Obama is an "other." Cruz is one of them and looks like one of them, so his place of birth isn't an issue, even though he was actually born in Canada, just as it wasn't for McCain.It's crazy how he's also got the support of the very same birthers who still don't believe Obama was born on US soil, but they have no issues with Cruz being born in Canada.
The GOP, the electorate are basically handing the Democrats the presidency on a silver platter at this point. And yet they're so delusional that they think there is a shot at winning.

I think Cruz is worse than Trump.

Cruz has the most unelectable face and voice of any candidate in history. A rare moment when American shallowness will save us.
He has less chance than trump in the general.

Republican politicians are a consistent reminder that graduating from Ivy League schools doesn't prevent you from being a fucking idiot.
But Cruz isn't an idiot. He's brilliant at appealing to idiots.
Well he is that too but I don't know that he's not an idiot. His comments about religion and government, climate change, abortion, foreign policy and the economy suggest to me he's an idiot.
Unlike Trump I think he believes 100% of what he's saying.
I don't. I think he's a perfect mix of Bond villain and used car salesman.
