Ted Cruz Gets Praised by Sen. Chuck Grassley
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | January 25, 2015 | Javier Manjarres

U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) once supported President Reagan’s amnesty for illegal aliens back in the 1980’s, but has since stated that he and others made a mistake in doing so. He now supports a piece-meal approach to immigration reform as opposed to a comprehensive approach to fixing the existing immigration problem.

During a brief Q & A with the veteran Senator at the Iowa Freedom Summit in Des Moines, Grassley laid out what he feels first needs to be done in any immigration reform bill and then talks about what he feels his colleague Senator Ted Cruz is doing for the Republican Party:

"Beyond what he does in the United States Senate, he is a very clear spokesman—in very few words—of the conservative point of view. And most of us Republicans haven’t… had the capability of making matters clear to the American people as we should. And he can do that, and I thank him for doing that, and we ought to encourage him to do it. He’s helping the Republican Party."

Earlier in the day, and while sporting a pair of snazzy dark brown Cowboy boots to go with his Obama-like “tan” suit jacket, Cruz gave an uplifting “Miracle of America” speech that garnered him a long, full audience-participated standing ovation....

More and more people will be booking a "Cruz" as the campaign rolls on. Just watch. Senator Grassley remembers President Reagan and he's not stupid.

I didn’t watch every single speaker at the King speek-a-thon, but Cruz got the only standing ovation I saw. I think Newt may have got one also, but I’ve already erased the DVR. The crowd seem to like Palin, but I thought it was flat. Unusual for her. Perry was fair but it seemed like fake animation to get the crowd going. I don’t think it will work long term. Carly Fiorina did better than I thought she would, but I don’t think it will ever happen. Mitt and Bush will get their clocks cleaned by Cruz, IMHO.

I love both Walker and Ted Cruz.
Cruz is my number 1 choice,Walker my second,for the very reason Grassley mentioned,I am sick and tired of idiots like Boehner who can’t talk their way out of a paper bag,we have to have someone who believes in American traditional values and can articulate them,Cruz is right man on both counts

Our best hope in defeating this moron is Sen. Ted Cruz.
