DES MOINES (KWWL) - Republican presidential hopeful and Texas senator Ted Cruz will take to Iowa for a six-day road trip in January.

According to the Des Moines Register, Cruz and his staff are putting the finishing touches on the "Cruzin' to Caucus Iowa Bus Tour" that will take the candidate to 36 Iowa counties from January 4-9.

A tentative schedule includes visits to Chickasaw County, Winneshiek County, Allamakee County, Clayton County, Fayette County, Bremer County, Butler County and Marion County among others. Cruz plans to be on the eastern side of the Hawkeye State to finish out the bus tour, with stops to those counties slated for Friday, January 8 and Saturday, January 9.

Cruz has momentum in Iowa as of late, having pulled even or even surpassing longtime GOP front-runner Donald Trump in the state in a handful of polls released throughout the course of December

Stay tuned to KWWL on air and online for the latest on Ted Cruz and all of the Decision 2016 presidential hopefuls.

Will anyone in Iowa ask Ted how he can be against amnesty and take the pro-amnesty Club For Growth’s money? Or whether he will return Credit Suisse Group’s money now that they are under investigation as the money launderers for the crooks in FIFA?

Can somebody in Iowa ask Donald Trump why he blamed Pam Geller for the terrorist attack against her?

Can they ask why on September 8th Donald Trump said we have to take in Syrian refugees?

Nobody can ask those questions because they’ll be thrown out.

"My touchstone for every question is the Constitution."

Rightfully so, and it's the only way we're going to get out of the mess we're in.

Yet I found a thread with over a dozen Trump supporters openly calling for Trump to be installed as a dictator...and that was only the first two pages of the thread.

I’ve seen the same thing: Obama was successful doing it so it’s appropriate for “our side” to do the same. I have no idea how they’ve missed the truth that ends justify the means ideology isn’t conservative, so to embrace it means one is not a conservative — not on “our side.”

Thankfully Cruz adheres to conservative principles even under fire. The recent supposedly scandalous leaked tape of Cruz explaining how SSM is a states rights, not SCOTUS, issue is perfect. It demonstrates he is who he claims even behind closed doors.

Progressives love a dictator. It’s impossible to embrace tyranny and call oneself a conservative.

Just a moment ago, on the thread I mentioned, a person told me that no, it isn’t really calling for a dictator; it’s just recognizing that we need one. LOL

That leaked tape was candy for the progressives here who are eager to toss the Constitution.

It's like listening to a drunk trying to present a logical argument. You know it's not polite to laugh, but the absurdity makes it a necessity.

One thing about both Cruz and Trump. They’re running intelligent campaigns and clearly aren’t inclined to complain about all the “other cool things” they could be doing. They want the job in order to get things done, not because of some power family noblesse oblige.

That silly polka-dot graph you post constantly is ridiculous. For example, Trump’s 2A policy is better than any other candidate, with his national concealed carry idea.

And that you say to contact some outside group if we do not like the ratings is you just trying to deflect responsibility that YOU are posting this simplistic hogwash over and over.

I am going to post this comment every time I see your silly polka dots! (The fact that I have also mastered cutting and pasting is hardly impressive, is it, LOL)

One wonders what kind of internals Cruz’s team is looking at if they feel they need to do a 6 day travel fest in Iowa. That said it can’t be that effective just doing little rinky dink meetings no one will report.

Someone mentioned that Ted Cruz’s speechwriter actually works for Conservative Review, the same people who made that graph to begin with.
