Top RLC National Leader Switches Support From Paul to Cruz
Conservative Fifty ^ | January 3, 2016 | Javan Browder, Managing editor

Posted on 01/03/2016 2:35:31 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Ted Cruz is continuing to consolidate support from among many of his primary rivals. Recently, as leader Ben Carson has seen a virtual implosion within his campaign, and with his poll numbers in a freefall, Cruz has surged into the lead in Iowa, and is in a solid second place nationally as well as in South Carolina, Florida, Nevada and Georgia. Cruz's surge is largely based on picking up the support of Carson voters, especially evangelical voters who are leaving Carson for Cruz in large numbers.

But Cruz is also seeing support come his way from the "Liberty" movement.

Steve Hoffman of Horry county South Carolina, who serves as one of three at-large National Directors for the Republican Liberty Caucus, has also been serving as an Horry county grassroots coordinator with the Rand Paul campaign.

Hoffman tells us that though he still has a lot of respect for Paul and wishes him the best, he has recently decided to switch his support from Paul to join the Ted Cruz super PAC, Keep The Promise I. Hoffman said that, "Rand Paul and Ted Cruz are undoubtedly the two candidates in this race who are the true Liberty movement candidates, the two who support and fight for the Constitution and understand our inalienable God-given rights."(continued)

Giuliani was running away with things pre-Iowa in late 2007, too. In the +15 to +20 range.

Didn’t win a single caucus or primary, as far as a I can recall.

National numbers mean zilch at this stage, aside from gauging fundraising appeal.

"Which is strangely hypocritical when he co-sponsors a bill to help fix Head Start."

Cruz demonstrates remarkable "flexibility" on many important issues facing our country. It is difficult to determine just where he will wind up on any particular issue.

Do I have to post The Donald’s pro-illegal immigration positions again?

Cruz is the strongest on the issue.

Cruz actively supported Patriot Act revisions and replacements that would make it much more pro-liberty and still render it effective in fighting terrorism.

"He opposed the Patriot Act. He has talked about that in his campaign."

Bull S##t Cruz voted to renew the Patriot Act

Senate Renews Patriot Act and Rejects Bill That Would've Ended NSA's Domestic Spying Program

Cruz has a problem with the truth.

Senator Cruz was one of the leading sponsors of the amendments that would have ended the domestic spying program. He fought for them. (Unfortunately, we lost on that.)

Cruz then it counted, voted to renew the anti liberty unConstitutional Patriot Act. As I have documented in #65, period, end of story. Cruz has a problem with the truth. Drink the Cool Aid, it tastes really good.

Yummy

Beats the pro big government statist, pro single payer healthcare, pro anti-privacy, Trump any given day.


I hope you got lost in the syntax. Or do you believe Trump is pro single payer and a big govt statist? And “pro anti-privacy” is a waste of language.

Just catching up. Got a few years behind.
Actually, I forgot I wasn’t on the main
forum and made several comments to extinct
articles. Now I know what ‘yelling at the
clouds’ feels like.
