Nice to see an aggressive Conservative. Don’t conceded anything to the left. Fight them everywhere.

"Nice to see an aggressive Conservative. Don’t conceded anything to the left. Fight them everywhere."

Yep. Cruz's campaign is, in his own words, "modern grassroots guerilla."

I saw one of my elderly neighbors wearing a Ted Cruz Mockingjay button today. She said her granddaughter made it for her.

“Okay, I’m going to embarrass myself.
I have a flip phone.”

Conversation I had with someone who was making fun of my dumb phone(flip phone):

Smartphone: Why don’t you get a smart phone?

Dumbphone: I call and text, it does everything I want.

Smartphone: Yeah, but you look dumb with that flip phone.

Dumbphone: I pay $25 a month for unlimited service. Who is smart now?

Smartphone: Uh...uh

LOL!

I’m just not much of a phone person...never have been. And if I have the internet with me when I go out, I know I’ll be distracted.
