Ted Cruz’s Secret Army
Ther Resurgent ^ | February 15, 2016 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 02/16/2016 5:07:42 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Go read this right now.

I have seen the data from the Ted Cruz Super PAC Army. Not only that, I've seen data from Cruz's own army. It is amazing and impressive. The number of people they have connected with on the ground, converted, and are prepared to mobilize is one of the most impressive feats in modern Republican politics.

I don't mean that hyperbolically. I mean that seriously. The Democrats are always far better organized with ground games while the GOP has offset inferior ground games with advertisements and robocalls. The Cruz camp is going toe to toe with Democratic operations.

They have not only detailed data on residents, but know the issues the residents care about. In some cases, they can made educated guesses about the issues before visiting the resident and connect on that issue.

It is amazing what they've been able to do and no other team on the ground has invested in ground game operations like Cruz. Go read this.

I don’t really understand why this article about how super PACs are paying actors to go door-to-door for Cruz keeps getting reposted, like it’s a good thing.

Oh well. I guess I should observe the whole “never interrupt your FRenemy when they are in the middle of a mistake” axiom. :D

Well, if it was a secret it sure as hell isn’t a secret anymore. Sounds more like BS.

Seriously.

That’s not counting the times he posts it in other threads.

Seriously?

Even Red State couldn’t take his crap any more?

That’s funny, but if that’s the case, why post it here?

“Actors?” Where’d you get that from? And since when is a “conservative” against Americans working for a buck?

If you all are so confident in the “ultimate victory” why worry about anything I might or might not do? But you aren’t really so sure, are you?

I’m not Erick Erickson’s cousin or friend. I post articles here that I think FReepers might want to read. That’s all.

So let me get this right, the guy who voted to keep our privacy is now doing every thing he can to data mine my preferences. I guess no one else is bothered by this?

"Actors?" Where'd you get that from?

It's a logical inference. If you're paying someone for an 8 hour day of door knocking, they aren't your passionate supporter, they are a paid spammer. But you're right, maybe they aren't acting, maybe they just tell the person who answers the door that they don't actually care about Ted Cruz, they just need a paycheck.


And since when is a "conservative" against Americans working for a buck?

I'm not against the people doing the canvasing, at all. More power to them if Cruz is stupid enough to do this. If a person knocks on my door and they're being paid to go out and canvas for a politician, I have zero interest in what they have to say, because all that tells me is that the politician doesn't have enough supporters who give a damn to get canvasing done by volunteers. Also, there's this.


Said super PAC, called Keep the Promise-which is actually sub-divided into several different PACs, each funded by a different billionaire family


It's cute that corrupt billionaires are wasting their money trying to buy candidates. It makes me smile.

The only people who want to read this tripe are rabid zealots.

You are doing nothing but feed the frenzy here at FR with posts like this.

Look, I know you as a poster here, we've communicated for a long time here and I have due respect for you, but the time has come to start focusing on the real enemies we face.

You, I, or anyone else here isn't going to change who gets the ultimate nomination, so lets start figuring out how to defeat the enemy instead of keeping this forum in a constant feeding frenzy of bull sheite arguments that accomplish NOTHING.

Looks like it's either Trump or Cruz this time around, lets get together on this, burn and hill scare the crap out of me, I'm sure it's the same with you.

Think you need to take a break or cut back on the caffeine. Don’t you have the Twisterboard to post, or the Star Wars Cruz picture? Haven’t seen those in awhile....
