Democrats On Cruz Presidential Campaign Announcement: ‘Sent Shivers Down’ Our Spine

LYNCHBURG, Virginia — In what was clearly meant to be an attack on Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign, announced shortly after midnight, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) may have accidentally admitted that it’s worried about a Cruz GOP presidential campaign—noting in an email to supporters that his announcement “sent shivers down” their spines.

“If you’re like us, just reading that phrase probably sent shivers down your spine or produced a pretty serious roll of the eyes,” the DNC said in what it calls a “Factivist” email to supporters early on Monday. “But as of this moment, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is officially running for president, and if we don’t do everything in our power to stop him, the possibility of President Ted Cruz could become a reality.”

It listed out three things the Democrats want their base to think about Cruz.

“He led the GOP’s government shutdown, costing the economy a staggering $24 billion, as part of a personal crusade to take away quality health care from millions of Americans and give control back to the insurance companies,” the DNC email stated. “He has obstructed everything from raising the minimum wage to paycheck fairness to immigration reform. He would give corporations and the richest Americans huge tax breaks, at the expense of working Americans.”

The email concluded by encouraging Democratic activists to sign up for DNC lists, and get involved in their “Factivists” program.

Though I of course support Cruz, I still think Jebbie will win the TX primary, much as his ally Cornball did in 2014.

They know they can beat Jeb simply by calling him George III. A minority, Ivy League lawyer with impeccable credentials sounds like the ought to be one of theirs and he hates them. They have a problem.

That announcement from the Dems certainly allows conservatives to ask anti-Cruz republicans if they agree with the Democrats.

More ammo from the enemy.

.......you may be interested to know that I live in Texas and I don’t know anyone that can stand the thought of Jeb Bush. Conservatives despise him for amnesty and common core, to name just two reasons; and, liberals hate him for being the brother of George Bush!

They have every reason to fear this announcement because they are going down hard.

“He led the GOP’s government shutdown....”

BS lies and left-wing talking points from the dems.

Ted Cruz and his fellow Republicans were burning the midnight oil at the Capitol Building trying to keep the government open.

Harry Reid and his fellow democrats were all no shows, including Obama.

It was Obama and his fellow democrats who “shutdown” the government. In reality, only 17% of the government was actually shutdown.

But Prince Jebbie has a lot of money see?

And the Beltway election morons including the GOP Establishment can use a strong stream of new revenue see?

So it all makes sense!

If you "support" Cruz, have you sent him money today?

If you haven't do it and if you have, why are you touting his demise before a single vote is cast?

If you want to surrender, get out of my foxhole.

That poster agrees with the DNC on Cruz.

There will be a lot on FR.

Cruz got my donation this morning and I NEVER donate cash to politicians. Time on phone or working the doors, yes, but never cash. Until Cruz ran for president.

I had to make sure that link was for real, but it was. That link works for real for donations.

Glad to see you donated, too. He needs those before the 'official' announcement.
