Cruz: Trump won’t be the GOP nominee
Tuesday, Texas Senator Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz joined the growing list of candidates submitting the paperwork needed to get on the ballot in the commonwealth.
But as Kasich struggled to gain traction in the early presidential contests of Iowa and New Hampshire while Trump has maintained a strong lead in the polls, Kasich and his advisers have sharpened their attacks against the NY billionaire.
Cruz also contrasted his views with Rubio on Syria – linking him again with Clinton and blasting their support of a no-fly zone and arming “the so-called moderate rebels”.
King, whose state will help cull the large GOP presidential field with its first-in-the-nation caucuses in February, said Cruz “checks all the boxes on the issues”.
But that’s not because Cruz thinks Trump will be the Republican nominee. That was especially true when Cruz noted he and his wife Heidi have two young girls – and are “very glad we don’t have 17”. “As Rubio said, the problem with Obama is not his experience, it’s his polices”.

One email from the Democratic National Committee to reporters said the Steve King had endorsed the Noisy Xenophobic Ted Cruz, after the congressman from Iowa announced he was backing Cruz.
The Hillary Clinton campaign isn’t tolerating Ted Cruz’s lies. The facts are that Cruz supports a personhood amendment to the Constitution that would ban birth control. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush then comes next with seven percent support. Cruz’s theme on foreign policy/national security policy is that he has staked out a middle ground between the “adverturism” of Rubio and the isolationist tendencies of Paul.
