The poll also found that Cruz has a 75 – 17 percent favorability rating among Iowans with Trump at 61 – 34 percent.

Donald Trump isn’t letting go of his Ted Cruz birtherism. “The whole game is screwed up”, Trump said to the crowd.

“In New Hampshire, we are through the roof”. The next closest contender is Marco Rubio of Florida with 15 percent.

Cruz, a darling of evangelical Christians and far right conservatives, has just about everything riding on winning the first in the national presidential caucuses on February 1, and until recently he appeared to be surging in the Hawkeye State. For the Iowa caucuses, please support Donald Trump.

Trump again called on Cruz to get a court judgment about his ballot status – advice Cruz has rejected – before suggesting the issue would cost Cruz the nomination. I don’t even watch it as much anymore”, Trump said on Sunday, and as always, he has managed to utilize tortured logic to address an undeniable truth: “The NFL is suffering, but it is suffering because is trying to come to terms with exactly what Trump was complaining about. “You can’t walk into the Senate, and scream, and call people liars, and not be able to cajole and get along with people”.

During an interview with CNN, Jake Tapper asked Cruz to detail how he plans to deport the almost 12 million undocumented immigrants who now reside in the U.S. Tapper also asked if the candidate would enforce a plan similar to the billionaire businessman’s proposal, which would authorize a special force to roundup undocumented workers through a tedious search. The intensity escalated this past week when Trump questioned whether the Canadian-born Cruz was eligible to be president. Cruz was born while his family was living in Calgary, Canada, nd he insists there is no doubt about his ability to serve as president. Republican Caucus participants give Cruz better grades than Trump on most character issues. “I’m like a PhD in litigation”.
