Senator Ted Cruz was kind enough to give me 10 minutes after his return to the 603 Alliance Caucus site to speak to and congratulate his campaign volunteers
My Exclusive interview with Senator Ted Cruz after Winning 603 Alliance Caucus (video)
There are several points to make concerning this result and what Senator Cruz said.
It would have taken the cost of renting a bus for any other candidate to get 25 NH voters to the caucus to get past the first round and to steer the result in a direction they would have liked.
There are a lot of expenses in a campaign but renting a few busses for a day isn’t a big one, if you can’t find 25 registered republican voters willing give up a few hours to show up for you at this caucus what does it say about your actual strength in a state? Jeb Bush has been running ads calling himself “the conservative candidate”, how much stronger would such an argument be if he managed to draw 25 voters. He could have claimed to have out one Donald Trump in an actual vote. (By the same token I don’t understand how the Donald Trump campaign doesn’t manage to get 25 folks to show up. Rep Al made a strong speech but this feeds right into the MSM template on the Donald.
As Mark Steyn has said the future belongs to those who show up, if you can’t get voters to show up for you to a no cost event out of an entire state when you’ve had six months to get ready, that’s bad.
Furthermore if you are a candidate in single digits how do you not take advantage of such an event to make a showing? Even if your candidate couldn’t draw enough to win your people could have steered the result away from a candidate you DIDN’T want to win.
Now let’s talk about WHY Cruz won.
Ted Cruz talked about his country chairmen in every county of all four early states and his donors his “sustainers” funding all on the ground game in 20 primary states, rent staff etc…
I don’t think any other candidate can say this, why? Because CRUZ FIGHTS! His willingness to stand up, make the fight and take the barbs of the media for years is the reason why so many people are willing to give monthly, it’s the reason why he leads in hard money and it’s the reason why his people were willing to show up to caucus for him yesterday. It’s also the reason why I endorsed him Sept 30th
Every single other candidate currently serving in congress could have chosen to do this. Every single other sitting governor could have supported Cruz’s fights in congress when he was making them, every single outsider could have stood up and stood with Senator Cruz as he fought for the causes that conservatives sent him and other republicans to fight.
They did not and that’s one of the reasons why they were not the subject of that victory interview.
CRUZ OR LOSE 2016
I can guarantee that I will show up for the primary and again on election day.
Excellent interview. Thanks for posting! He’s just such a normal guy with fantastic convictions and ability to go the distance.
Presidential Forum being livestreamed this afternoon from Prestonwood Baptist church in Plano TX at 3 pm central time.

I predict CRUZ will be staffed in all 50 states and territories by the first primary.
"Amanda Carpenter comes to Conservative Review fresh off an impressive tour on Capitol Hill, serving as [snip] Sen. Cruz's Speechwriter and Communications director.
Carson is on a book tour which does not allow him to campaign. So I doubt he’ll be there.
Have you contacted the Conservative Review's Editor-in-Chief and complained about these ratings to him yet?
Did he respond to you: GET OFF THE PHONE, YOU BIG DOPE!?
I met him. I asked him about Hillary: he said she is the center of the corruption in Washington. He is clear-eyed about the evil he is fighting.
Did you meet him at the Caucus?
Trumpbots are so predictable. So boringly predictable.
Trump for Press Secretary under President Cruz.
