Having a high IQ score doesn't necessarily make people seem "bright". As we also know, some people are just good at taking tests. Despite whatever, the man isn't impressive.

I have failed to be impressed by him. It isn't what you have but how you use it.

I am guessing most of this "support" is coming from the Hillary people since they are aware of what you just stated.

I think a lot of the anti-Hillary people will just stay home if Cruz is on the ticket. Listened to him in the one where he says that Carson and Trump will sink and boy, does he think a lot of himself. They can talk about Trump all they want but Cruz is just as bad when it comes to ego and, frankly, Cruz is definitely operating under false pride and I think that might be against his so-called religion.

The corruption of the Clintons, set up a charity and spend 90% of it on themselves and they have millions. It is no wonder. They gave uranium to Russia and in return paid Bill mega bucks for a speech. Traitors, lovers of money and don't care if it is charity or dirty money. As Bill put it.. .they have expenses flying around the world and living high.

And what would be the cost to the country for giving 'Let's See If They'll Glow In The Dark' Raffy the nuclear 'football'?

Cruz is the worst. Princeton taught him how to win an argument. Harvard taught him how to write a speech. And Goldman Sachs gave his wife a job.

I would hold my nose and vote for Hillary just to keep Cruz from destroying this country.

Trump and his fans calling Cruz a maniac is pretty much the definition of irony

55% support is hardly a majority, its barely winning. Remember, 40 of 50 states opposed gay marriage when it was voted on. Even liberal as hell CA voted no on gay marriage. Lets not blow things out of proportion. Cruz is one candidate Hillary's camp does not want to see.

It'd be one damn shame if it came down to that in a country of 300,000,000+ but I agree with your assessment of that particular situation. I have no great love for Hillary but Cruz would make Dr. Strangelove seem like a moderate.

I would vote independent/third party in such a situation. There are two Republican candidates I will absolutely not vote for under any circumstances: Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
