The Power of Work; Ted Cruz’s Story
The Huffington Post's Huffpost Politics The Blog ^ | April 19, 2016 | Daniel Kushner

“Cruz was the earliest to organize here and unquestionably had the deepest connections on the ground. His top local organizer, Bette Grande, has been supporting him for months, dating back to when Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, came to her house last September during a North Dakota campaign swing.”

How do you not love this? Literally eight months ago, he was already having his father campaign in North Dakota. And not just doing events, but going to the house of top local organizers in, again, not Iowa, not New Hampshire, not South Carolina, but North Dakota. And it’s not like Ted was working any less hard.

There is a serious discussion to be had about policy in this election campaign, about how increasingly extreme and often dangerous views are becoming ever-more-acceptable, and how about one of the two major parties in the United States is approaching a breakdown as its leaders are finally engaging with their voters, and finding they don’t like what they see, and what that means.

That is a serious topic, and there is much to be said about it. But this campaign is also a testament to hard work. The only reason why Ted Cruz is still standing, and not Marco Rubio or Ben Carson or Bobby Jindal or Scott Walker, and remains the most likely person to be the Republican nominee, is because Cruz outworked every opponent of his by a factor of four. Not only did he outwork his opponents, but his father and wife outworked his opponent candidates by a factor of two....

I’m a shut-in, disabled. I’m not big on watching television. Sarah Palin deigned not to run for office.

For sure!
Ted is going to need a LOT of help from the ranks.
His performance in swing states has been depressing.
We can’t sit back and watch Hillary Clinton win.

Tell us you’re not being paid to post here, in some capacity, for TC campaign.

If not Cruz directly, then someone who wants you to use your long-existing FReepname to do so.

Yes or No?

On the aside, thanks for your service and prayers for your health.

"Pointing out that he’s a hard worker
is hardly endorsing him...."


Constantly posting anti-Trump Pro-Cruz articles 24/7 non-stop
IS endorsing him when IN YOUR OWN WORDS:

Cruz is ineligible to run for POTUS....

Cruzlims are the only people I know who think it is OK to win “elections” by sucking up to GOPe hacks instead of trying to get voters.

I’ve already addressed that question probably a dozen times. Are you being paid?

I am NOT being paid. But I DO have a lot of time on my hands. I don’t see everything or most things. But I noticed when you posted a leftist hit piece on DT. And from then, I started paying closer attention.

I say you are.

By a TC pac, super-pac, or possibly Texas supporter of TC.

Do you have any income, from any source, that influences or requires you to post certain articles on FR?

Not only that, Trump is just a dumb a$$ that thinks his money should be enough to earn him the nomination.

He’s too lazy, too stupid, to cheap to hire the right people for the job.

You have to work twice as hard when everyone hates you.

Hey, it worked for Nixon. Not everyone can get by with their looks and likability. Love him or loathe him, can anyone honestly deny that Ted is a hard worker? There's no laziness to the guy. He's willing to work to achieve his goals. Frankly, his candidacy sends a powerful message, particularly for America's youth: If you want something, work for it. One of the pundits recently said it's like Cruz is heading up his own personal Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Can the Trump backers here say the same about Ted Cruz?

I will.

I still have my clothespin from '08 and '12, but imma also gonna need some of that stuff they used in the morgue scene in 'Silence of the Lambs' to smear under my nose to help hide the stench.

Corey Lewandowski is still Trump’s employee.

I can stand before God and with clear conscience affirm I am NOT being paid to post.

[Do you have any income, from any source, that influences or requires you to post certain articles on FR?]

A simply Yes or No will suffice.

He’s been posting that lie pretty much every day now.

And they wonder why Cruz supporters have no credibility here anymore
