The writer of this article is, with all due respect, "delusional"...
Political Campaign VICTORIES are won with effective "Boots-On-The-Ground" political infantry.
Facebook ? Agree that it's effective for small-scale networking.
Otherwise it's almost a complete waste of time.
Currently the Ted Cruz folks at Facebook have split into two (2) VERY ANGRY camps ... FIGHTING EACH OTHER more than trying to organize an effective national campaign.
General George Patton Jr. would FIRE the "Executive Leaders" of these two (2) competing Facebook Groups for "Dereliction of Duty".
Listen folks, if you're really a Ted Cruz 2016 supporter ...
