MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Republican Ted Cruz didn’t come close to winning the New Hampshire primary, but he stormed into this next early voting state Wednesday morning with a frontrunner’s message: I’m the only one who knows how to beat Donald Trump.
“You cannot beat Donald Trump coming from the left,” Cruz told reporters here before a rally. “You see more moderate candidates standing on the debate stage and saying, ‘Gosh, Donald, we need more amnesty. Gosh, Donald, don’t be so tough on radical Islamic terrorism.’ That’s not going to work.”
“The only way to beat Donald Trump is to highlight the simple truth of his record,” Cruz added. “It is not conservative.”
Cruz, the U.S. senator from Texas, has for weeks envisioned the Palmetto State as the site of a showdown between himself and Trump, both of whom now have wins under their belt heading into the third nominating contest. South Carolina holds its Republican primary on Feb. 20.
After coming in first in the Iowa caucuses, Cruz finished a distant third behind Trump on Tuesday night in New Hampshire, though he joked he deserves the same credit Marco Rubio got a week earlier for beating expectations in Iowa.
“I am looking forward to a week of wall-to-wall coverage on Fox News of the impressive third-place finish,” Cruz said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Before a rowdy crowd here inside a theater off Myrtle Beach’s boardwalk, Cruz struck a more serious tone, saying that Iowa and New Hampshire have fulfilled their historical roles of winnowing the field. “Now,” he added, “it’s up to South Carolina to pick a president.”

We wouldn't tolerate these values in our children. Why would we want them in our president? https://t.co/YBcXsTJlj4https://t.co/A4lIp9yPFk

Donald Trump is not conservative his record is clear!
That is the message, Trump is a liberal the best that can be said is at times he supports the ideology of moderate to left wing Republicans and Rino’s, that is the truth of the matter.
Yes Senator Cruz keep fighting keep pushing keep speaking truth to the illusion that is Trump, keep provoking him to display trumpertantrums exposing his overwhelming narcissism.
We are beginning to see Trumps message coming under the control of handlers but eventually they will need a straight jacket if they really want to contain his true vindictive nature that is tempered towards getting out of control.
