Republican candidates Donald Trump and Ben

Cruz has activated an army of small donors the way then-Senator Barack Obama did in 2008.

“In this exercise, women feel much closer to and more supportive of Hillary Clinton than do men”, Hart wrote in his summary of the findings “For some it is the favorable aunt whom you can enjoy, but to others she resembles the distant, intimidating aunt”. Rubio was one of eight senators to craft the legislation, which included a 13-year process for people living in the United States illegally to obtain citizenship. “But very often it decides who’s not going to be”. “So my view is, first, we secure the border”. And Cruz has been biding his time before facing off with Trump.

That’s why I think it is time for everybody to start thinking of Trump not as a fluke but as a potential nominee and maybe even president.

He also vowed not to let his campaign turn into mud-slinging fight with his rivals, especially with front-runner Donald Trump, whom he said the new media begs him to attack nearly daily.

Cruz says he loves Iowa because Iowans take politics seriously. Saying polls show Trump has roughly 20 percent of the backing of Republican primary voters, Kasich said “he’s got 80 percent of Republicans who don’t support him”. Who has stood up to Washington?

Wally Miller of Creston was there to show his support for Cruz.

Gohmert, one of the first congressmen to endorse Cruz’s presidential bid, joined him for 11 town halls and visits to eateries and general stores. New Hampshire, which has traditionally supported more establishment-leaning politicians, comes next, representing an opportunity for candidates like Florida Sen. Cruz on Sunday additionally refused to address how he would handle the tens of millions of undocumented immigrants already living within the country, despite hammering Marco Rubio this current weekend for previously supporting a path to citizenship.

Ted Cruz was among the earliest to announce his presidential campaign and despite a series of high-profile exposes and the like, his campaign has been largely overshadowed by the success of others. However, no one has ever doubted the shrewdness of Cruz’s political machine.

A “Dump Trump” heave is underway among US Republicans to knock billionaire Donald Trump off his perch in the White House race, but they may have kept their powder dry too long. Cruz now believes those lanes are “collapsing” into a single superhighway – a “conservative lane”.

“Within six weeks of 9/11 they passed the Patriot Act”, said Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky. The idea of Cruz as the nominee is enough to send shudders down the spines of most Senate Republicans.

Mainstream Republicans see Cruz as a bigger threat to win the nomination than Trump or Carson, but just as damaging to the party, according to Politico. North Alabama congressman and tea party favorite Mo Brooks (R-AL5) is chairing the campaign.

“The focus of the press and the focus of the Democrats is always on those people who are now here illegally”, Cruz responded. “They are getting intelligence briefings”. Smith said 35 to 45 percent of voters will make up their minds in the last three days before the February 9 primary, and 15 to 20 percent will actually decide on Election Day.
