I would rather go up against Cruz Aka TED – Then Trump!

[mitty14u2]

Alias “Ted” who’s name really is Rafael Edward Cruz He has made up a American name to fool all the dumb asses in Texans voting for a Cuban, Canadian and now they are stuck with him and want him to go away. He cost the country $32 Billion in the last shut down, he is well hated across the country and in Washington!

The Costs of the Government Shutdown

The financial ratings agency Standard & Poor's said Wednesday the shutdown "to date has taken $24 billion out of the economy," equaling $1.5 billion dollars a day and "shaved at least 0.6 percent off annualized fourth-quarter 2013 GDP growth."

I really think regular people and right wing republicans will vote for Trump rather than Cruz, A vote for Cruz brings us closer to Winning it ALL!.... Go Hillary.

1. And I would rather eat Grilled Halibut

Instead of these soggy old fish sticks ...

2. Cruz as the Republican candidate would finally bring the theocracy issue into the limelight

Resulting in a landslide Democratic victory.

3. I see your point, voting for either is sickening!

4. Trump scares me more. He IS Martin Sheen's character in The Dead Zone

If you haven't seen the movie, I highly suggest watching it.

5. Agree 100%

I've been pulling for Ted all along. The most hated politician in America would be far easier to beat than the most bull shitting politician in America. Bernie or Hillary would beat em both, but Ted would look so good making his concession speech after he's had his ass handed to him.

6. A Trump presidency is horrible to contemplate, but I find Cruz even scarier.

A Trump presidency is horrible to contemplate, but I find Cruz even scarier.

As far as who is more beatable, I don't know how much I trust head-to-head polls at this point, but it's a mixed bag.
