Not so.
Dems have demonstrated that there is no depth they are not willing to sink to in order to win.

Something as relatively benign (in comparison to their other tactics) as intentionally skewing the polls is barley worth lying about to cover up for them.

Chill with the excuses. Repubs aren't losing because of the media.
Excuses???? You have no clue that their losing? Your coming off like your statement is fact! Nobody knows what the election results will be until election day is over. You have a mostly liberal media conducting all the polls, and you honestly expect me to buy into their results. Sorry but I'm just not that gullible.

I liked Rubio and I think he could have trounced hillary. He's an excellent speaker, charming and an expert on foreign policy.

Cruz would have been attacked as too superstitious and too willing to let his mythology effect his leadership. Which is sad because otherwise he was a great candidate-very smart. He'd have wiped the floor with Hillary during the debates. Rubio is too "establishment". Not enough different than the rest of the globalists and bought and owned corporatists of the establishment RNC AND DNC.

Yep, they did do that already. I would hear some ignorant sheep go on about how Cruz wanted to turn the country into a theocracy. It was pure propaganda BS as anyone who had listened to Cruz on many issues knew he was a strict constitutionalist that often referred to state rights and answered that many issues were out of the purview of federal authority.

I liked him, but he is supported by a company that brings in H1B visa workers to replace entire departments of US workers on a regular basis. So he's no better than Hillary Clinton.

Trumps a nut. Cruz is creepy and way too socially conservative. Rubio has too many personal financial issues. Nobody wants another political dynasty in Bush. Kasich was too far to the center and too willing to compromise, but he was my favorite. Paul came off as too inexperienced, too willing to compromise, and he seems like he is lecturing like a professor, he just didn't seem presidential.

Rand Paul could be a great presidential candidate in 12 years if he works on his problems.
Rand Paul was my favorite candidate. Too bad the Republican base can't seem to get behind him. He has integrity, compassion, and intelligence. I do not think he can be bought. And he would have been able to go head to head in the debates and point out Hillary's corruption.

Rand Paul could have even snatched at least 30 percent of the black vote from Clinton, and probably as much as 50% of the youth vote.

Cruz would have been a hard sell but any of Rubio, Jeb, or Katich would be walking away with it.

All the Republicans had to do was Elect Cruz or Rubio and they would have EASILY won the presidency
I think the party would have united behind Rubio, or Jeb, but not Cruz.

But it is true that either one would have beaten Hillary, who is the weakest Dem candidate in a very long time. Only Trump can screw it up.
