Cruz Reports Raising $700K After Iowa's Branstad Called for His Defeat
PJ Media ^ | January 20, 2016 | Stephen Kruiser

HI-larious.

Sen. Ted Cruz, responding to a barrage of attacks from a sitting GOP governor and businessman Donald Trump, Wednesday said his campaign raised $700,000 in the hours after he was pointedly criticized by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad.

Mr. Cruz, speaking to reporters in New Hampshire, said party leaders in Washington are so fearful of his candidacy that he believes they are rallying behind Mr. Trump rather than Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida – a rival of Mr. Cruz’s who has been considered an establishment favorite.

With enemies like those, who needs friends, right?

Cruz continues to have plenty of momentum despite most attacks from the left, right, and center having been aimed directly at him since the beginning of the year. An Iowa win would be a nice starting point for him as he gazes ahead to his Super Tuesday strategy, and the efforts to make him fall apart there have been feverish these past few days.

The press spent a good amount of time in the last twenty-four hours trying to make it seem as if Sarah Palin's support of Trump, coupled with Branstad's remarks, made Tuesday a "terrible" day for him.

A campaign can go a long way with $700,000 bad days.

LOL that’s funny.

The RFS aren’t as popular in Iowa as they are in DC.

Slow, steady pressure does it. DT’s Hare antics distract from Cruz’ advance. Go Tortoise! The evangelical base is engaged now and repulsed by Trump, who is acting like the nervous one.

I question the logic of ethanol dilution of $30 oil.
Iowa is banking on an artificial market. Oh yeah,
it’s to make it cleaner!

While I consider myself anything but typical, the last 5 days of Trump have repulsed me from a casual supporter to someone who has serious doubts about his fitness to be POTUS. He attacks from the left and is simply a very poorly mannered Mitt Romney.

I see Trump is now blaming Tony Perkins for writing “2 Corinthians”.

Uh, Donald, that’s the way its supposed to be written.

You know.... you can see the dust fly off that bible every time he picks it up. He’s as fake as a 3 dollar bill. He is a RINO that is left of Romney.

I KNEW he would blame someone else for exposing his glaringly phony attempt to present himself as someone who reads the Bible.

Seriously... if the conservative Christians in Iowa or really anywhere give Trump a pass and vote for him.... then they owe an apology to Benny Hinn and Jimmy Swaggert.

Divide and conquer. All the GOP has to do is play devil's advocate in this race, let Cruz & Trump take each other out, and propel !JEB¡ & rubio to the top.

And Jim Jones! DT himself described in AoTD how he suckers people like his supporters in but they’re too culted up to see him for what he SAYS HE IS!
