Democrats On Cruz Presidential Campaign Announcement: ‘Sent Shivers Down’ Our Spine

LYNCHBURG, Virginia — In what was clearly meant to be an attack on Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign, announced shortly after midnight, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) may have accidentally admitted that it’s worried about a Cruz GOP presidential campaign—noting in an email to supporters that his announcement “sent shivers down” their spines.

“If you’re like us, just reading that phrase probably sent shivers down your spine or produced a pretty serious roll of the eyes,” the DNC said in what it calls a “Factivist” email to supporters early on Monday. “But as of this moment, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is officially running for president, and if we don’t do everything in our power to stop him, the possibility of President Ted Cruz could become a reality.”

It listed out three things the Democrats want their base to think about Cruz.

“He led the GOP’s government shutdown, costing the economy a staggering $24 billion, as part of a personal crusade to take away quality health care from millions of Americans and give control back to the insurance companies,” the DNC email stated. “He has obstructed everything from raising the minimum wage to paycheck fairness to immigration reform. He would give corporations and the richest Americans huge tax breaks, at the expense of working Americans.”

The email concluded by encouraging Democratic activists to sign up for DNC lists, and get involved in their “Factivists” program.

Got my donation too. I hope to give more as I can.

I was telling my wife this morning that we not only need someone who can run the country, we need someone who can win the public debate. No one is even a close second to Senator Cruz in that area.

Cruz will be getting more from me, as time goes on. I was a little cheap today, but he needs the donations before his 'official' announcement. It shows lots of support.

Besides, a little donation lets me make sure that the bigger donations I make later will go to the right place, and I'm a quadruple checking kind of guy. ;)

Thanks, will share it much.

Proggy/Marxist-socialists fear Cruz and those like him.

Honest-speak is anathema to them. As are honest, hard-working, reasoned, law-respecting, straight, America-loving, moral, Christian middle Americans.

It is way past time the cancerous leftist experiment in America came to an end.

I agree with you! I wouldn’t vote for Jeb Bush if he was just running for Dog Catcher!

That poster has a history of negativity, especially at election time. You can check his posting history for a few years back if you want to spend the time.

Concern trolls gotta troll. And some folks are naturally negative and let it show. A lot.

Not sure what’s up with Cruz’ .org website. Maybe too much traffic.

Or, maybe it’s being messed with by those who know how truly dangerous he is to our Marxist-socialist elitist class and holding onto their 47% useful idiot base.

They say this as if they are negative things.

The great strategic approach to get the vote out was not walking around money but to Born Again Christians to vote your morality.

How does shutting down cost anything?

Oh yeah, when you retroactively pay people $24 Billion for having sat around doing nothing.
