Ted Cruz: ‘We can shock the political world’
The Washington Times' Inside The Beltway ^ | January 25, 2016 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 01/25/2016 8:13:22 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

It is an old-fashioned, bodacious campaign blitz. Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz has multiple events in 26 Iowa cities and towns through week's end at a critical time: the next official GOP debate in Des Moines is Thursday, the Iowa caucuses are just six days away. Mr. Cruz is embracing the blitz and has plenty muscle. Campaigning this week with the candidate: Rick Perry, Rep. Steven King and evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaatz -- who have all endorsed the Cruz quest for the White House. The quartet will appear at seven rallies together on Tuesday alone, with stops at a bull ranch, a steak house and a 19th-century historic mansion.

"All across the country, conservatives are coalescing behind Ted, and just days from now, we have the chance to do something remarkable together. We can shock the political world with a victory for Ted in Iowa and begin the march to winning the Republican nomination and taking back the White House," advise campaign organizers.

The Cruzin' To Caucus tour spans a veritable road-trip of Iowa, with visits this week to Maquoketa, Manchester, Independence, Osceola, Albia, Centerville, Bloomfield, Ottumwa, Fairfield, Keosauque, Des Moines, Ringsted, Fenton, Emmetsburg, Wilton, Wapello, Hubbard, Ames, Hamlin, Ida Grove, Sioux City, Iowa City, Davenport, Des Moines, Jefferson and Marion....

They're not backing a conservative that's for sure.

You are just wrong. We are backing the most conservative candidate: Trump!

Cruz is a H1b visa junkie. In the video above he says he wants legal immigration increased by millions and visa increases 5 fold. Great “jobs” president.

Yeh, notice Trump is scheduling stuff in NH as well as Iowa. Hard to know. Iowa is a squirrelly place.

There’s nothing traditional about Trump or his campaign. Or this race, for that matter. Just ask the entire media, GOP and every pundit that counted him out every week.

Reagan signed an abortion bill and amnesty. The only perfect human died on a cross and was risen three days later.

Cruz not only has wealthy PAC supporters but small donors all across the country who’ve given his campaign over $50 million dollars.

And yet Cruz is taking millions from GOPe groups like Goldman Sachs and CFG. Those groups don't give money without expecting something back, cruz knows that as well as we do. Cruz has brought in more then 10x more $ from small donors then Trump has spent, yet cruz is still taking money from these groups, why?

Sadly, that is probably the best argument I have ever seen you present.

Trump on Huckabee & Santorum: “I hope they do well, I honestly do. If they get out for some reason, I’d love to have their endorsement.”

Huck is very angry at Bob Vander Plaats for choosing to back Cruz. Believe me Huckabee made a deal with Trump per their meeting back on Jan 19 at the hotel in Iowa.

“Then what is he?”

Ted’s a lumberjack, and he’s OK,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lavatory.
