Former Huckabee spokeswoman Alice Stewart joins Cruz campaign
The Politico ^ | January 4, 2016 | Daniel Strauss

Posted on 01/04/2016 10:01:21 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Alice Stewart, the former communications director for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's campaign for the GOP presidential nomination, has joined Sen. Ted Cruz's campaign as a senior adviser, Stewart confirmed on Monday.

Stewart said she cemented a deal to join the Texas senator in the past week. She will serve as a national spokeswoman and senior adviser.

Stewart's movement comes less than a month after she left the Huckabee campaign amid differing views on the direction of his White House bid.

Huckabee's campaign, as POLITICO first reported, recently moved all of its resources to Iowa and the former governor and his campaign manager, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, have both said the campaign likely won't continue if he doesn't do well in Iowa.

The RealClearPolitics average finds Huckabee trailing other 2016 contenders, drawing just 2.6 percent support in Iowa polls.

Another handler leaves a sinking ship as a senior advisor and goes to another to sink that ship, Maybe!

Trend here - if anyone leaves another campaign, failed or active, they go to Cruz. Only Cruz.

She probably was against the Cruz attacks. Good for her.

I like Huckabee but I do not respect the attacks on Cruz.

I don’t really know a whole lot about Ron or Rand, except that I think Rand has proven himself to be a RINO, but Huckabee, to me at least, is a real slime ball.

Heck, at this point, I’m pretty much convinced that almost everyone in the GOP is a real slime ball...
