VERO BEACH -- Des Moines Republicans who vote for Ted Cruz on Feb. 1 might have been encouraged by Vero Beach residents Tim and Laura Zorc to back the Texas senator's presidential bid.

The Zorcs, a politically active family who spent a snowy December holiday break bunking with scores of campaign volunteers, can watch the Iowa caucus results knowing their canvassing in the bitter cold helped deliver votes that might win Cruz the state in a razor-sharp primary with GOP rival Donald Trump.

"I think we helped inspire and motivate other volunteers and also people who worked on the campaign," said Laura Zorc, 44, whose family -- Tim, 55, and children Nicholas, 12; Abby, 10, and Chandler, 7 -- drove through rain, hail and a tornado to arrive in Iowa Dec. 20 for a two-week stay at Camp Cruz for President.

"It was definitely inspiring that we went up there and worked on this," Laura Zorc added. "And it was nice having the kids around because it kept the perspective; it wasn't all work."(continued)

It is a caucus, not a primary.

re>and children Nicholas, 12; Abby, 10, and Chandler, 7

If Trump did this the Cruzbots would complain of child labor.

Did you know open-borders Beck is in Iowa endorsing Cruz today ?

Interesting family, the Zorcs.

Commissioner Zorc files bankruptcy amid sour business deal

Mar 20, 2014 INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Still reeling from what he describes as a bitterly soured business venture, Indian River County Commissioner Tim Zorc filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy elast week in federal court....

Zorc was criticized when he ran for office in 2012 because he still listed all the money he felt he was owed and still expected to receive from his business deals on his financial disclosure paperwork as on-paper assets or receivables.-

That made his personal financial picture appear far better than if he’d given up all hope of collecting.

Mechling stands by what he said at the time, that there were no assets available that could have paid those receivables, but he won’t go so far as to say Zorc’s financial disclosure amounted to deliberate deception.

“Tim never came to me or Steve my partner and said look I’m going to run for County Commission and have to file this financial report and what do you think is the worth of the company. Never was discussed, never had a chat,” Mechling said. “I’m sure he got with an accountant or somebody when he filled this information out. I never talked to Tim and Tim never talked to me on that and I don’t know, maybe he thought there were more resources than there were.”.... more at link.

Appears to be a real estate development family from Florida. Wonder if they have their money invested with Hiede at Goldman Sacks?

If they’re smart they do. You don’t become a GS district manager without being savvy and intelligent. What’s your resume look like?

He most assuredly is . He went down there with Cruz and they handed out goodies . He also said he would smuggle in refugees .
Please do some research on Beck and his open-borders cult .

Looks like old Ted is a real piker, he needs 3 more bankruptcies to catch up to Trump. Of course Trump had GREAT bankruptcies that ran into the tens of millions not some piddling one like Ted.

And Trunp’s bankruptcies were really classy. :D
