Great News for Cruz 2nd Vet.....lololol....keeping in mind 155 delegates for the state....

Cruz's presidential campaign announced Thursday that he now has the support of 'nearly half the Republicans in the Texas Legislature:

11 senators and 43 representatives. The newly expanded Texas Leadership Team also includes 57 chairs and co-chairs covering Texas' 36 congressional districts, as well as 462 chairs and co-chairs across the state's 254 counties.

Additionally....the campaign is also claiming the support of almost half the members of the State Republican Executive Committee, the governing body of the Republican Party of Texas. Twenty-seven of its 61 sitting members are now backing the senator.

You’re missing the point.

My parents have stopped giving to Tea Party groups that bombard them with phone calls. Really turned them off. Wish they wouldn’t use that tactic. Very off-putting and obnoxious.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You seem to be pretty good at the lying thing yourself.

Yeh....where’s the outrage about Facebook and Google doing this? He’s just getting information that is already out there. If people can’t or don’t figure out how to set their privacy settings on social media, what do they expect?

And every time I download an app on my phone, it always asks for access to all my data. So it’s kind of hard to get around these apps wanting your data, and it’s not like you aren’t warned or foretold what data you are agreeing to give away.

I bet many of the candidates are doing the same thing. But because Ted is the one to be feared, he’s the one that the spotlight is put on.

Woaaaa....wait a minute. Christians aren’t allowed to use smart marketing? He’s not doing anything underhand, as it’s all public knowledge and information. Yes, everyone does it, we’ll anyone who is smart does... it’s how you do business. And don’t even try to tell me that business is different than campaigning, because your biggest reason for locking Trump’s boots is that he’ll run the country like a BUSINESS.

The difference between Cruz marketing you and your grocery store is Cruz camp isn’t hiding it.

Oh and welcome Paid Trump shill. You came to FR just in time for him to run.

Do you really know what you’re voting for?

[Lucky9teen]

I'm getting more emails from Rubio and Fiorina than any other candidates running and I've never signed up for any of them. How they got my email info I have no idea, but they did.

I chalk it up to it's an election year, and they have voter databases of this stuff. How Candidates Get Data on Your Voting, Shopping and Facebook Habits

Boom!

[Shortstop7]

Yikes. Drudge has this story up...and just sent out a Drudge Siren tweet about it. That’s gonna leave a mark.

smoking frogs will make you croak

[smoothsailing]

It’s not a problem of not signing up for the app...it’s your friends signing up for the app. If they are Cruz supporters and if they get the app, the Cruz campaign will find out about you and contact you whether you want them to or not.

[CPT Clay]

Stazi huh? Sundance has lost it.

[Flick Lives]

I’ve been getting Cruz emails and I definitely did not sign up. My guess is the campaign bought a mailing list and carpet bombed it.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

If I knew how to do a screen shot, I would gladly share with you the multiple emails I receive DAILY, from Ted, Heidi and some random staffers.

I receive texts as well. ALL of it is obnoxious and beyond over the top.

Let me go count how many I have already today.

4 emails so far - the day is young

[CottonBall]

Get over it, Trump has used the media better than Cruz. He was smarter about it. Whining that the media is on his side is absurd. It makes Cruz look desperate, whining, and lying.
