Here’s why if the Iowa caucuses were today he would win and you wouldn’t... This memo amounts to an intervention.
It serves to warn all other Republican presidential campaigns of a perfect storm looming on the horizon. Not only does the storm favor Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, but your combined failures/refusals to recognize it are only helping him. If that environment persists, Mr. Cruz will not only win Iowa next year, but win it convincingly.
Your skepticism of Mr. Cruz’s candidacy, and willingness to play ball with a system the average Iowa conservative no longer trusts, is helping to positively brand Mr. Cruz to voters looking for a fighter and an outsider.
And that is what the majority of 2016 Iowa Caucus voters are looking for.
Now before you (and your consultants) get defensive and immediately dismiss this memo as a ridiculous polemic written by a rube, please remember a few things.
My record predicting the outcome of elections in Iowa is proven. For this reason, many of your campaigns have already sought out my take on the lay of the land here. Several of you have already appeared on my radio show to speak to my audience. Some of your campaigns have even asked me for staffing referrals. And I just moderated the first joint candidate forum of the 2016 cycle in front of about a thousand Iowa Caucus voters/activists.
Given this track record, I hope you’ll each take this in the spirit it is intended. I know several of you personally, would be proud to vote for many of you, and am grateful to have such a strong field. Nonetheless, if the caucuses were today you’d all be fighting for second behind Mr. Cruz.
While it’s definitely (snip)

FYI: I’m not sure about Walker, but Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and the rest of the GOP establishment is ga-ga over ceding US Constitutional authority over to Obama and the WTO folks.
AC, Rand Paul cut the heart out of his message when he endorsed McConnell—
Someone should send this to Matt Drudge.
Tax cuts for collage tuition is socialised education sticking it to the older hard working tax payers.
But glory be, have you noticed here on FR ?
No Rand Paul supporters defending Rand Paul’s socialised education plan.... Why is that ?
They are deceptive propagandist....
Like they could not defend his repeal of laws which put blacks more in prison than whites.
Paul has gaffed and pandered and it must be bad when his voters are seeing it too.
“All Ted Cruz fans: PLEASE Contact Ted Cruz and tell him..”

My friend, you got it wrong....The very reason we support Sen. Cruz is that we don’t have to tell him anything. If there’s something needs be done, he does it.
“In any case, we need to coalesce around one or at most two candidates early, before the RINOs settle on their inside pick.”
Pick two of the three but Cruz has to be one of them.
The article appears to have been stuck out. How interesting.
Maybe it’s my browser or a ticked off editor.
THat place is pop up mania.
Love bold letters, not shouting...
Anyway..
ATTENTION : WHY IS IT ?
THE RAND PAUL SUPPORTERS HAVE NOT DEFENDED RAND PAUL’S SOCIALISED EDUCATION PLAN OF STICKING IT TO THE HARD WORKKNG OLDER TAX PAYERS BY GIVING COLLAGE STUDENTS A COLLAGE TUTION TAX RIGHT OFFS ?
COLLAGE TUTION TAX RIGHT OFFS IS SOCIALISED EDUCATION PAID FOR BY STICKING IT TO THE OLDER HARD WORKING TAX PAYERS...
WHY HAVE THEY NOT DEFENDED RAND PAUL’S SOCIALISED EDUCATION PLAN ?
Excellent. Thanks for posting that bit.
Nope , I just had to reload at the site.
The re-director didn’t work for me. Odd.
No right way, it’s there— you just have navigate endlessly- it’s a pain— scroll down, the article is below the ads.
#51 was meant for VinL.
I wouldn't believe it from most republicans. With Cruz, I believe. With Walker I'm hopeful but uncertain. With Bush/Christie/Graham/Rubio/Romney, I'm certain that they would betray America, no matter what they said.
As for the democrats, Hillary would grab for more power and make FedGov even bigger, only slightly faster than the RINOs would. Biden would probably bumble and coast, no better but no worse than a RINO. Jim Webb and Martin O'Malley would probably be the best options from the Democrats (I'm not endorsing them, but most high-profile democrats are even worse), which means they probably have no chance.
Rand Paul has said some pretty lame things (and some good ones), but what has he ever said or done that justifies that charge?
Patton, Deace is big time radio in Iowa— Newt’s biggest supporter in 2012—
Rand Paul supporters with plugs in their ears “ but, but, but YOUR LYING ABOUT SAINT RAND PAUL, HE’S NOT A SNAKE AND SNAKE OIL SALESMAN “
It’s called leadership
