I told my son last night I thought that alliance wouldn’t last 24 hours. I was generous.

Kasich was enough of a rat that Cruz did desire to copulate with him.

It’s referring to early voting.

It’s referring to early voting. 110K have already voted in Indiana.

I will withhold judgment until I see real evidence that this Tweet is real. All indications are that it’s a hoax.

Rep. Mike Nearman told me NOPE...not a REAL letter to him.

Facts are irrelevant. It’s the seriousness of the allegation that matters. And if it’s on Twitter, then it’s true. Rep. Mike Nearman is mistaken.

Turns out it was a hoax. I was easily able to determine it was a hoax. Why were you so easily (and deeply) duped by it?

Cruz lied in IA, sent out voter violation garbage, said Carson was dropping out. Making up a letter like this would be par for the course for Jeff Roe.

Jeff Roe would not hesitate to name someone in a letter like that. He would do it without Rep. Mike Nearman even knowing about it. That is the kind of a sleeze bag he is.

That’s not proof Cruz didn’t sent it out. Try again.

“It was Mr. Roe who hired Mr. Tyler to be the Cruz campaign’s spokesman. (In an interview this month, Mr. Tyler said he had “learned a lot” from Mr. Roe. “Jeff wins,” Mr. Tyler said, adding, “I don’t think anything we’ve done is underhanded or deceptive or anything like that.”)

But back home, Mr. Roe’s allies and opponents alike have seen a familiar imprint in the Cruz campaign’s recent exploits, which have included a Photoshopped image of Mr. Rubio and the misleading suggestion, on the night of the Iowa caucuses, that Ben Carson was leaving the race.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/24/us/politics/ted-cruz- campaign-manager-jeff-roe.html?_r=0




All been done before by Jeff Roe. Then there is this;


"Political consultant Jeff Roe, who is based in Kansas City, is Ted Cruz's campaign manager — and the architect of the Texas senator's surprising first-place finish.

Roe is hardly a household name even amongst the political chattering class. (He has less than 6,000 Twitter followers.) Locally, he's most famous for commissioning the mean- spirited ad that upset State Auditor Tom Schweich and may have factored into his suicide, at least according to former U.S. Senator John Danforth, who blasted "politics that has gone so hideously wrong" in his funeral oration. Roe has been labeled "the Karl Rove of Missouri" — and the people calling him that don't consider it a compliment.

But as last night's results proved, he knows what he's doing. Cruz didn't just hold off all the other candidates vying for Iowa's large block of conservative voters. He did it even while beating Donald Trump. It was a wild, complicated race, and you have to respect the guy who figured out how to propel any candidate, much less one who's thoroughly loathed by everyone he meets, to victory.

In an interview with Chris Wallace a few weeks ago, Roe discussed a few secrets to his success — namely, a simple message and strong branding. Roe comes across as intensely analytical. He doesn't just know how long the average voter looks at a mailer (17 seconds); he knows how long he wants you to look at one touting Cruz (45 seconds). "When we communicate with the voter, we want it to be simple, clear and reinforce our candidate's brand," he says. For Cruz, that was "strong Christian conservative leader."

A recent New York Times Magazine piece delved more deeply into how Roe & Co. made those words resonate for Cruz, who'd hitherto been identified mostly as a conservative, not necessarily a Christian. Writes Robert Draper,

"One morning early in January, in the lobby of a public library in Onawa, Iowa, I listened to Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe, as he explained a central challenge of his previous few months. ‘‘Prior to March 23,’’ Roe said, ‘‘if you were to word-cloud ‘Ted Cruz,’ which we do every day — take all the Google mentions and Internet searches, dump them into a file and form a cloud — you can’t find ‘evangelical.’ ’’ In other words, voters were largely unaware of the Tea Party firebrand’s religious faith. To convince evangelicals that Ted Cruz was the ‘‘righteous’’ candidate, Roe told me, his team needed to sell him as such, from the very beginning: ‘‘Regardless of what you’ve got in the bank, you’d better determine the narrative of the campaign, and show that’s who we are, every day."

Last night's results suggest that effort worked beautifully.

Yes, Iowa is unusually dominated by evangelicals, and yes, if Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum are any indication, Cruz faces an uphill battle to get the Republican nomination, much less win a single state. But we have to hand it to Roe. Never before has a candidate that so many Americans find this intensely annoying managed to make it this far."

Typical to cover it up when it gets out.

“Cruz, who is second behind Trump for the Republican nomination, has assembled a group affiliated with Oregon’s Tea Party.

Reynolds, a political consultant and member of the Oregon Tea Party leadership council, said the campaign has assembled more than 100 volunteers and said he expects Cruz will come to Oregon in the next month.

Reynolds said he’s helping assemble Cruz’s campaign in Oregon along with state director Narlina Duke and co-chairs state Rep. Mike Nearman, R-Polk County, and Mark Callahan, a Salem Republican running for Wyden’s seat in the U.S. Senate. “ http://www.bendbulletin.com/home/4210331-151/presidential-campaigns-prepare-to-battle-in-oregon#

Do you really think Ted was going to keep his promise to stop campaigning in Oregon?? And you talk to me about being “easily (and deeply) duped”?? Wow.

“But it’s so juicy”

This has been a huge problem, juicy innuendo being repeated as fact. But end justifies the means, it would seem.

I am not big on calling people out for their religious hypocrisy. At all. BUT, Ted says he’s a SOUTHERN BAPTIST (Though many say he’s a “DOMINIONIST”, which his father---who has called Ted “The Anointed One”---claims to be; or even a Mormon, as he stood by while Glenn Beck recited Mormon-specific references, applying them to Cruz, That Cruz is the “raising of the priests” and the fulfillment of the “prophecy of the White Horse.” Or a Seventh Day Adventist, as his wife, Heidi, who has more than once referred to Ted as “The Face Of God.”)

I am Southern Baptist, raised that way. Let me tell you, Southern Baptist are very loosey goosey when it comes to what it accepts or allows in each affiliate congregation (for example, some can dance, some cannot.) BUT….THREE THINGS are not acceptable ANYWHERE to Southern Baptists: GAMBLING, DRINKING, and NOT TITHING:

She revisited the final moments of that epic national title game between Villanova and North Carolina. Fiorina and Cruz were watching the game on the bus, and after Marcus Paige’s incredible 3, Cruz threw money on the table. – USA TODAY

On CNN’s Republican Presidential Townhall, Republican candidate Sen.

According to recently released tax records, the Texas senator contributed less than 1 percent of his income to charity between 2006 and 2010. But many Christians believe that the Bible commands a charitable offering, or tithe, equal to 10 percent of one’s annual earnings. – The Atlantic
