MANCHESTER, New Hampshire -- Mark Campbell, national political director for the Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% campaign, tells Breitbart News Cruz's victory in the Iowa caucuses Monday can be replicated in the New Hampshire primary next week.
Campbell was among a dozen die-hard Cruz campaign workers and volunteers on hand at the Cruz New Hampshire headquarters in Manchester when Breitbart News arrived at 11:30 pm Monday night.
Ted Cruz's victory speech was playing on a super-sized big screen television as the weary but happy team listened in rapt attention.
"You should have been here an hour ago," Campbell told Breitbart News. "The place was packed."
Campbell has been camped out in New Hampshire for several months and was beaming with confidence about the chances for victory in the Granite State's primary next Tuesday.
"We're the only campaign that has a ground game in the state," he told Breitbart News.

LOL!
I thought you posted an Opus and left? Come back so you can be around when Cruz loses?
Are you kidding we have heard nothing here except all the dirty on Trump since he announced running.
Trump is up 22 points.
Maybe Ted can start speaking in tongues again, that might help.

Love it! I’ll add Elmer Gantry to Cruz’ look-alikes... Grandpa Munster, Mr.Haney from Green Acres, Ali Hakim from Oklahoma, and LBJ.
I guess playing dirty politics with other candidates intentions, qualifies as the integrity evangelicals are looking for in a Cruz. He’s a politician like all the rest.
But not much of a leader.
Glad you’re back.
“It’s not going to be up to him ! There are lawsuits already filed. The Dems will forum shop for friendly judges. This is so immature.”
And it is going to go all the way up to SCOTUS and they will make a decision. Or not. So until that happens, you say tomayto and I say tomahto.
Over the years, the men in robes have not been silent on this issue of NBC and what it means.
“Over the years, the men in robes have not been silent on this issue of NBC and what it means.”
And I can’t wait to hear their ruling.
The Katyal/Clement paper has been shown to be in error. I assume that’s what you’re linking to. The paper erroneously states that the common law grants citizenship to the children of citizens born overseas. It only does that as an exception and in a few cases. Horace Binney already did the research on this and his research has been cited repeatedly in multiple SCOTUS cases over the past 160 years or so. The common law has always been clear, a natural Born Subject is anyone born into the king’s allegiance and dominion and that almost always meant born on the king’s soil.
What about Count Chocula? I saw someone here make the comparison. It’s good for a chuckle.
If they rule, they will rule that a NBC is anyone born on US soil regardless of their parents...and they’re we’ll be with all those natural born anchor babies.
This too shall pass.
~~Go Trump Go~~
it means every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.
John A. Bingham (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))
John Armor Bingham (January 21, 1815-March 19, 1900) was an American Republican congressman from the U.S. state of Ohio, judge advocate in the trial of the Abraham Lincoln assassination and a prosecutor in the impeachment trials of Andrew Johnson. He is also the principal framer of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The first section of the second article of the Constitution uses the language, a natural-born citizen. It thus assumes that citizenship may be acquired by birth. Undoubtedly, this language of the Constitution was used in reference to that principle of public law, well understood in this country at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, which referred citizenship to the place of birth.
Justice Curtis in his dissenting opinion of the Dred Scott decision and speaking specifically of natural born citizens and article II, section I, clause 5
It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth however derives its force sometimes from place and sometimes from parentage, but in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States; it will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other.
James Madison
The doctrine of the common law is that every man born within its jurisdiction is a subject of the sovereign of the country where he is born, and allegiance is not personal to the sovereign in the extent that has been contended for; it is due to him in his political capacity of sovereign of the territory where the person owing the allegiance as born.
Kilham v. Ward 2 Mass. 236, 26 (1806)
As the President is required to be a native citizen of the United States. Natives are all persons born within the jurisdiction and allegiance of the United States.
James Kent, COMMENTARIES ON AMERICAN LAW (1826)
That provision in the constitution which requires that the president shall be a native-born citizen (unless he were a citizen of the United States when the constitution was adopted) is a happy means of security against foreign influence, A very respectable political writer makes the following pertinent remarks upon this subject. Prior to the adoption of the constitution, the people inhabiting the different states might be divided into two classes: natural born citizens, or those born within the state, and aliens, or such as were born out of it.
St. George Tucker, BLACKSTONE'S COMMENTARIES (1803)
Allegiance is nothing more than the tie or duty of obedience of a subject to the sovereign under whose protection he is, and allegiance by birth is that which arises from being born within the dominions and under the protection of a particular sovereign. Two things usually concur to create citizenship: first, birth locally within the dominions of the sovereign, and secondly, birth within the protection and obedience, or, in other words, within the allegiance of the sovereign.That the father and mother of the demandant were British born subjects is admitted. If he was born before 4 July, 1776, it is as clear that he was born a British subject. If he was born after 4 July, 1776, and before 15 September, 1776 [the date the British occupied New York], he was born an American citizen, whether his parents were at the time of his birth British subjects or American citizens. Nothing is better settled at the common law than the doctrine that the children even of aliens born in a country while the parents are resident there under the protection of the government and owing a temporary allegiance thereto are subjects by birth.
Justice Story, concurring opinion,Inglis v. Sailorsâ Snug Harbor, 3 Pet. 99, 155,164. (1830)
The country where one is born, how accidental soever his birth in that place may have been, and although his parents belong to another country, is that to which he owes allegiance. Hence the expression natural born subject or citizen, & all the relations thereout growing. To this there are but few exceptions, and they are mostly introduced by statutes and treaty regulations, such as the children of seamen and ambassadors born abroad, and the like.
Leake v. Gilchrist, 13 N.C. 73 (N.C. 1829)
Therefore every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity.
William Rawle, A View of the Constitution of the United States, pg. 86 (1829)
The right of citizenship never descends in the legal sense, either by the common law or under the common naturalization acts. It is incident to birth in the country, or it is given personally by statute. The child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle
Horace Binney, American Law Register, 2 Amer.Law Reg.193, 203, 204, 206, 208 (February 1854).
That all natural born citizens, or persons born within the limits of the United States, and all aliens subject to the restrictions hereinafter mentioned, may inherit real estate and make their pedigree by descent from any ancestor lineal or collateral.
January 28, 1838, Acts of the State of Tennessee passed at the General Assembly, pg. 266 (1838)
The term citizen, was used in the constitution as a word, the meaning of which was already established and well understood. And the constitution itself contains a direct recognition of the subsisting common law principle, in the section which defines the qualification of the President. The only standard which then existed, of a natural born citizen, was the rule of the common law, and no different standard has been adopted since. Suppose a person should be elected President who was native born, but of alien parents, could there be any reasonable doubt that he was eligible under the constitution? I think not.
Lynch vs. Clarke (NY 1844)
Every person, then, born in the country, and that shall have attained the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States, is eligible to the office of president.
Lysander Spooner, The Unconstitionality of Slavery, pg. 119 (1845)
It is the very essence of the condition of a natural born citizen, of one who is a member of the state by birth within and under it, that his rights are not derived from the mere will of the state.
The New Englander, Vol. III, pg. 434 (1845)
This is called becoming naturalized; that is, becoming entitled to all the rights and privileges of natural born citizens, or citizens born in this country.
Andrew White Young, First lessons in Civil Government, pg. 82 (1856).
The Constitution itself does not make the citizens, (it is. in fact,made by them.) It only intends and recognizes such of them as are naturalâ€â€home-bornâ€â€and provides for the naturalization of such of them as were alienâ€â€foreign-bornâ€â€making the latter, as far as nature will allow, like the former.
Attorney General Bates, Opinion of Citizenship, (1862)
All persons born in the allegiance of the king are natural-born subjects, and all persons born in the allegiance of the United States are natural-born citizens. Birth and allegiance go together. Such is the rule of the common law, and it is the common law of this country, as well as of England.
Justice Swayne, United States v. Rhodes, 1 Abbott, US 28 (Cir. Ct. Ky 1866)
Natural-born Citizens, those that are born within the jurisdiction of a national government; i.e., in its territorial limits, or those born of citizens, temporarily residing abroad.
William Cox Cochran, The student's law lexicon: a dictionary of legal words and phrases : with appendices, Pg. 185 (1888)
Citizens are either natural-born or naturalized. One who is born in the United States or under its jurisdiction is a natural-born citizen without reference to the nationality of his parents. Their presence here constitutes a temporary allegiance, sufficient to make a child a citizen.
Theodore Dwight, Edward Dwight, Commentaries on the law of persons and personal property, pg. 125 (1894)
The notion that there is any common law principle to naturalize the children born in foreign countries, of native-born American father and mother, father or mother, must be discarded. There is not, and never was, any such common law principle.
Binney on Alienigenae, 14, 20; 2 Amer.Law Reg.199, 203
I’m a Cruz supporter and I’ve spent a lot of time in New Hampshire. Don’t think he finishes higher than third; Trump still has a big lead, plus Rubio and even someone like Kasich could finish in the Top three. Ted isn’t the only candidate with a ground game in the Granite State.
South Carolina is setting up as the next real showdown. Far more evangelicals in that part of the country, and Cruz has more time to cut into Trump’s lead. Meanwhile, the GOP-E is trying to pump up Rubio with Tim Scott’s endorsement and he’ll get more of those in the weeks ahead.
One group that is very important in South Carolina is the active duty military and retired military population. Those groups can be a deciding factor in the low country around Charleston (home of NWS Goose Creek, Charleston AFB, Parris Island and Beaufort MCAS) and the Midlands, which has Fort Jackson, Shaw AFB and McEntire ANGB. There are almost 60,000 active duty personnel in South Carolina (and many registered to vote there), while one in five residents of the state identify themselves as veterans.
In 2012, 126,000 “veterans” (including active duty) voted in the SC GOP primary. Newt Gingrich received 39% of their votes and it put him over the top; the Palmetto State was one of only two primary victories for the former Speaker of the House.
It will be interesting to see how the military vote in South Carolina breaks this time.
There is also The Count from Sesame Street, but listening to him is so much more enjoyable than enduring Cruz’ drivel that I hate to insult The Count with the Cruz comparison!
I also took an other to protect and defend the constitution. And it is very clear to me that the Constitution enumerated Congress with the power to define ALL of the rules of Naturalization which includes who is naturally born a citizen, ie a citizen by birth not by naturalization.
And Congress exercised their authority starting in 1790 and through several acts of Congress have defined the current rule of citizen at birth in Title 8 section 1401 of the US Code. Under subsection G of that code, Cruz was a citizen at birth because he was naturally born a citizen and has never needed naturalization.
Bingo!
When Hillery goes to southern states and she magically has a southern drawl, we rightly mocked her.
When Cruz lays on the preacher affectations in Iowa, I’m somehow supposed to believe it and not call that pandering?
Let’s see how he sounds out east.
