Hmmm.
Ted Cruz: “Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice. Where we are beating him is when voters’ get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record. He’s what they’re angry at. He is the corruption, and if you want someone to stand up to Washington, the only one who has been doing so in this race is me.”

Rule #1 Don’t insult the electorate.
Rule #2 See Rule #1.
C’mon Ted, you’re smarter than that aren’t you. A statement like that is best received by the lofo’s that you are speaking of.
Well, my masseuse calls Ted a “Mofo”… Your move. 😉
In Cruz’s case, common sense does not seem to be a part of his repertoire. Perhaps Trump needs to kick his ass a little harder.
Yeah, well, if you actually listen to what he said, he was repeating what Trump said. Trump said he loves his low info, low educated voters. lol. If you don’t like it repeated, don’t say it that way in the first place. Common sense, no?
When does this election cycle start getting serious?
The primaries are like reading the National Enquirer nowadays.
Have mercy. lol
With the same information in my noggin, I’m supporting you Ted, and Mr. Trump! Come Primary Day April 19, I’ll make a choice. Don’t make it any more difficult for me
YEP, THAT’S ME! I’M MORE LOFO THAN EVER!
GO EL TRUMPO!
The globalists think we are stupid scum also. Coincidence?
Not a helpful statement by Cruz, but in all honesty, Trump HAS supported some of the corruption in Washington and Cruz HAS consistently stood up against it.
I would like to see Trump and Cruz go at it mano a mano.
Ted Cruz IS the Establishment candidate. Don’t kid yourself.

Um, MJA —“Yeah, well, if you actually listen to what he said, he was repeating what Trump said. Trump said he loves his low info, low educated voters. lol. If you don’t like it repeated, don’t say it that way in the first place. Common sense, no?—-
No. Trump was mocking/embracing the often repeated insult about his voters. Who is lofo now? 😉
It always pains me to see Cruz stoop to the level of his rival.
I don’t think it has ever worked to his favor and I don’t understand why he does it.
Phyllis Schlafly endorsed The Donald identifying him as the “only hope to defeat the kingmakers” good read…there’s good reason why she overlooked the Tex-Mex Cruz.

As MJA said above Cruz is repeating what Trump himself said. ‘I love the poorly educated.’

It’s ok if Trump says it and it sucks if Cruz repeats it.
March 15th can’t be here soon enough. 3 calls in a row – New Day America, Gov. Kasich, former Gov. Voinovich. Shiite, here comes robo call #4, Larry Obhof.
Oh I see – he was mocking, no wait out of context, no wait he never said it.
MJA being “well educated” i.e. college degree, does not mean well informed. Check out Watters world.
On the other hand, being “unwell educated” i.e. High School, Blue collar does not mean uninformed. Just sayin.’
But Frank’s Rules #1 and #2 apply here to both Ted and The Donald
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/03/10/trumpster_cruz_thinks_i_m_dumb .
It was bad enough when Glen Beck got behind Cruz.:::barf::: I suddenly seriously doubted Cruz could be what we need if baby man Beck was for him.
Now we’ve got the Bushes supporting him (Neil Bush). I heard that the great Texas Lady Babs Bush would like to strangle Trump…. something like that…exact words escape me.:::cringe:::
The Bush Royal Offspring endorsement for Cruz is not good. Red flashing lights all over it .
Not a smart move. I could put up with the hardcore God thing and the terrible public persona but insulting me is not wise. I will hold my nose and vote for Cruz, hell even the mailman’s son but never Ruboto.
I still like both of them but for different reasons. I’d prefer them to rip on democrat voters, but what do I know?
Not the best move by Cruz. Frank nailed it. but I don’t think it is a deal breaker. I think it is probably true to a goodly portion of his base but certainly not all. That still doesn’t make it smart.
I agree with Ted.
I like Cruz, but his face resembles the face of LBJ, another of the most corrupt presidents in history. Sad thing is that he can’t change that.
I admire the way he stood against the RINO GOP in the senate.
I know he is not perfect, but if I wait for a perfect candidate, damn Clinton will ensure that what little freedom we have left will be gone.
It is disappointing that Ted is acting Trumpesque. There is really no need to do that. I didn’t like it when Trump called the Iowa voters stupid for letting Cruz win. I didn’t like it when Trump said he loves the uneducated. The lofo voters won’t even know what he said or care, he just ticked of the angry crowd that loves it when Trump insults people because that’s Trump’s schtick.
Ted should not try to out asshole Trump. Trump is the master of that.
Stick to the issues Ted!
Audio of the Fields/Lewandowski scrap:
http://politi.co/1XgwuBL
O/T, but did y’all listen to Rush today? Rush posited that Kasich is staying the race in the hopes he will be appointed Postmaster General.
Now, that right there is funny!
(and graphic worthy)
once again (a pattern developing here?) Trump’s words are taken out of context
“”We won the Evangelicals. We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated. We’re the smartest people, we’re the most loyal people.”
“poorly educated’ ain’t exactly calling people lo-fos …. sounds like typical political bs …. coming from ‘Mr. Outsider’
….but, all’s fair in love & politics ….
They all need to stop this kinda Sh*t and debate the issues. Save the vitriol for the Wicked Witch.
I cant wait until next tuesday, when one of these two assholes are done.
Can Scott Walker re-enter the race?
What Diogenes said.
We need to quit with the butthurt stuff.
Speaking of butthurt, I predict that Rubio will drop out on Saturday if he is not the clear winner of tonight’s debate (which he won’t be).
Is iOTWr streaming it?
It can be seen here: http://go.cnn.com/?stream=cnn&sr=watchHPbutton
i see where DR. Ben is endorsing Trump.
If Ben were not so low key he would make an excellent running mate.
Puh-lease, one of them has to win this primary. Whining over how is for losers 😉
The support for Trump is emotional. It has nothing to do with intelligence or information. Too bad Cruz doesn’t know this. He should.
Unfortunately, we are now at the point where the majority of the electorate is, in fact Lofo. This was proven in 2008 and again in 2012. The fact that Trump appeals to Lofo voters doesn’t mean he can’t also appeal to high-information voters too. It will take both to win the election, a fact that seems to escape Ted.
I guess Carson endorsing Cruz is predictable, so it carries no value?
Carson isnt expected to endorse Cruz. Does that make his endorsement super sized valuable now?
when was he ever expected to endorse cruz? after that iowa thing?
How can I be a Lofo by reading IOTW everyday and even responding to some threads. Teddy made one fatal mistake calling Trump supporters LOFOs, he made us all aware not to vote for you Teddy. Go Trump!
@Aggie, Carson is endorsing Trump:
9:17: Trump: We can’t have education through Washington, DC. Also, Ben Carson is endorsing me.

IOTWReport makes me stupid. I’ve learned NOTHING from this website and I have not grown as a conservative ever since I “accidentally” came across this non-informative site several years back.
SARCASM OFF.
You can’t WIN without the LOFOs Ted!
