Rubio has a two-point advantage over Clinton in a head-to-head contest, and Cruz ties the former secretary of State in a hypothetical general election.

The National Review said the evangelical leaders’ endorsement is a substantial boost for Cruz’s campaign. “We beat it”, Cruz said. Ted Cruz, who pleased many libertarian-leaning voters by supporting cuts to defense spending. “Their misguided plan would have given Obama the authority to admit Syrian refugees, including ISIS terrorists”.
His support is more than double that of his closest competitor, Sen. The evangelical leaders voted four times, all of which bore the same result-Cruz winning the majority vote but not the 75 percent “supermajority” vote the group earlier set as criteria for endorsement, the National Review said.
Later Saturday, Trump continued his attacks on Bush during a campaign rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, calling him “incompetent” and “terrible”.
Cruz had the support of 17 percent of likely Republican voters, behind Donald Trump, who remained the front runner with support of 31 percent of respondents in the five-day rolling poll.
Two separate polls agree that Donald Trump won Wednesday night’s fifth Republican debate, with both giving second place to Sen.
That list includes Trump, U.S. Sen.
In her interview Friday, Van Susteren pressed Cruz on that amendment specifically, citing a June 2013 letter that he and three other anti-immigration senators wrote on the legalization issue. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), an implacable foe of “amnesty”, has told radio hosts and Washington reporters that Cruz stood with him, saying soothing words about the reform push only as a way to kill it. Cruz told journalists that the bipartisan budget deal was a “betrayal of the men and women who elected us”.
Days after going toe-to-toe with Donald Trump on the debate stage, Jeb Bush seemed to relish his new role as the Republican front-runner’s chief critic while campaigning on Saturday in New Hampshire. “Those decisions have consequences”.
Cruz’s new move came as he looked to continue to rebuke Rubio for his attempt to pass comprehensive immigration reform in 2013, a bill that Cruz opposed, in part, over its pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. “I don’t believe he’s gonna be the nominee, but I do think Donald has energized and excited a whole lot of people”, said Ted Cruz, (R) Presidential Candidate.
“He supports legalizing people that are here illegally”, Rubio said.
If Cruz’s position was unclear in 2013, he’s clarified it since, saying during Tuesday night’s debate that he hasn’t and “doesn’t intend” to support a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants.
But he repeated that pledge Thursday in Nevada.

“I would certainly be open to closing areas where we are at war with somebody”, Trump said.
