Ted Cruz's High-Tech Machine Versus Trump's Secret [Grassroots] Army
Breitbart ^ | 01/31/2016 | Matthew Boyle

The difference between these two campaigns is is numbers versus local. So the Trump campaign, I think, has done a better job of finding local people in these areas—so they’re activating other people’s networks to turn them out and using that Iowan to Iowan type of effort versus Cruz who I think has a tremendous amount of passionate supporters who have all dropped what they’re doing, come to Iowa, and helped this guy out. So I think at the end of the day, I think they’re going to balance out. I think the Iowan-to-Iowan stuff is a little bit more valuable.

Robinson said that the average person who’s organizing for Trump statewide is over 40 years old and has spent decades living in the communities they are organizing.

“The Trump field staffer, the person who’s organizing certain areas to get out the vote, the average age is over 40 years of age,” Robinson said.

I agree with Falwell Jr.- Trump is the only electable R.

You don't like the most conservative candidate yet you post on a conservative website. That's puzzling.

That shouldn't be puzzling at all. Not that it's any of your business Sparkplug, but I started out supporting Ted Cruz long before Trump got into the race, but Cruz has demonstrated through his never ending campaign screw ups, hie poorly chosen statements, his ill advised associations with the likes of Glenn Beck, his failure to address critical issues that would affect his electability in the GENERAL election (finances, loans, birth issues etc), has proven that Cruz "is not ready for prime time".

You however may follow your fellow Cruz fanatics right to the bitter end and my early condolences to you for the results coming your way tomorrow night.

As our Esteemed Founder stated not long ago, "while Cruz is running a political campaign, Trump is leading a rebellion".

You might ponder those words.

Here’s something for you to ponder on. Take a look at the content of Trumps character. Do some research like I did then ponder on that.

Datura is not known for truthfulness here.

Very deceptive, and manipulative.

Thanks - I don’t know who started that here.

I used to be one myself.

So much for Trump being outgunned!

I still believe that Cruz has already sank himself when he did the appearance with Glenn Beck.

After tomorrows first primary is over I think you'll hear more than one voter mention the Cruz-Beck deal as a game breaker.

I say this because I have family and friends in Iowa and that little charade didn't play well, even though the media didn't say too much about it.

“There haven’t been many Trump supporters banned, and I would bet that is because we don’t attack personally...”
I believe you’re at least partially correct as I don’t think many Trump supporters have been banned. However, no personal attacks, I beg to differ. I’m not going to mention names but in the course of stating my opinion on NBC, I’ve been called, stupid, idiot, should not have a right to vote and more all because I expressed my educated opinion. I did not and will not instigate nor respond with insults. Instead I’ve just stopped posting for the most part as have many other Cruz supporters. I’m sure Trump is leading the FR Caucus and would but again many of the Cruz people aren’t even here anymore so I wouldn’t put too much stock in it.

In part. But mostly because Trump is too liberal and too phony for me.

Yes, he has. Look at his comments, and you’ll see that while Jim Robinson likes both Cruz and Trump, he favors Cruz.
