This is not a good home stretch for Senator Ted Cruz. IOWA For Trump @LandmanMarius just released this "leaked transcript" of what appears to be a Cruz supporter demanding answer regarding the invasive mailer sent to Iowa voters on Friday. It's clear from the leaked messages that the voter is furious with Cruz. The messages also reveals the possible spin-control statement if the story stretches out any longer. The blame is pointing towards "a glitch in the system" and still needs to be "sorted" out:
I've had it with Ted Cruz, Donald Trump is the answer to my prayers. ...If only I had seen earlier.
You Trumpeteers have worn me down.
N O T !!!!!!
Monday night. Please don’t go awol on us.
Go Rubio. Lol
Don’t worry you will still get the chance to vote for Trump in the general!! Yes, if you are a patriot.
but, but...... principled patriots don’t vote
but, but...... principled patriots donât vote
And in 2016 the two general election ballot choices will be Trump or more invasion. Shouldn’t be a hard decision for “principled conservatives”, IMO.
I don’t get it either. I thought Trump is the one who would supposedly be hurt by low turnout.
Freegards
“not dodge it like Trump dodged the draft and Vietnam.”
Do you really need to support your candidate by lying about Trump?
The Trumpies will make a big deal out of it, though. It's politics after all. And since Cruz isn't the media's or the GOPe's darling, he will have some flack, but I think he can deal with it.
Yesterday Cruz comes out and doubles down on the shaming mailers saying they were just a good and acceptable way to get people out to caucus, nothing to apologize for. Today it is “the blame is pointing towards “a glitch in the system” and still needs to be “sorted” out:”
He just trapped himself in a lie. Yesterday it was good, today it is a system glitch. It is a glitch now because of the angry feedback. Creep and liar, he just keeps digging himself in deeper for like the six time...loans, Canada, TPA, Crocker Bill, McConnell and on and on.
Are you sure anyone’s listening to your advice? /Biblical>
Return address on envelope that came with Mailgate Shame Mailer was Cruz’s campaign office. It came from Cruz and his staff. Your pants are on fire just like your idol’s pants.
I am a Cruz supporter...but I can say without any excuse or preamble that this was a big mistake by Cruz.
People will see and feel “big brother,” all over it...they very thing Cruz is campaigning against.
In addition, it will offend, and then anger them, and they will most likely (if they vote at all), go out and vote against whomever sent such a correspondence.
Cruz has some knuckleheads working for him...or agents working against him.
Does not matter...he himself should have seen how crazy this was and either stopped it...or if he did not find out until later...he should have apologized and fired the people who were responsible.
This will hurt him, particularly in Iowa, but also wherever people hear of it...and you can bet the competition will trumpet it far and wide.
I support Trump but I can’t see where there is proof this reported exchange even took place or that anyone part of these posts are any part of Cruz campaign. This whole thing is just too suspect without substantiation from a more credible source.
Breaking News from IOWA For Trump should be considered suspect...this is the same twitter account that reported from a fake source that Cruz campaign staff were quitting.
For a long time now, there has been a need to discontinue the “-gate” suffix. So let me suppose that henceforth, *any* and *every* reference to a scandal with the “-gate” suffix, be renamed:
“Poopygate”.
It doesn’t matter what scandal it is, who did it, whether it involved politics, sports, business, etc.
They are henceforth ALL “Poopygate”.
Maybe *that* will finally kill this vampire, drive a stake through its heart, cut off its head, and bury it in a bolted, garlic filled, steel coffin in sanctified ground at a crossroads.
A dumb mailing. But my mailbox had been filled with many dumb mailings over the years in a caucus year.
The Trumpeters are doing everything they can to give this lift.
Meanwhile Donalds very left positions on issues are ignored.
But that’s politics.
Anyone who says they are a Constitutional conservative will be extremely disappointed with Donald down the road if he gets selected.
I will do my part tomorrow in my caucus; and vote for the only Constitutional conservative who is running this time; Ted Cruz.
Yes. Well this is contrived and ginned up to be a big deal. If Trump people can ignore his obvious contradictory statements in this election cycle alone, Cruz people shouldn’t be concerned. Everyone should watch Trump debate Trump via Colbert. Very funny and sadly his own words.
Riiiiiiiiiight.
I’m sure his own words pulled out of context. Or pulled out of a consistent time frame such as 20 years ago.
