“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....

BTW, when are the Cruzers going to apologise for falsely accusing and perpetuating slander against Corey Lewandowski?
True, and it will require voters AND delegates. We don’t have a popular vote system in either the primaries or in the general election. If Trump is to be the nominee, he has to fight on every level, not just the one he likes best.
Do you have any income, from ANY source, that influences or requires you to post certain articles on FR?
A simple Yes or No will suffice.
Does that mean you supported Gore to become president since he had 2 million more votes that "should count" than George Bush?
How did I raise $40,000+ for the late Fred Thompson? How did I raise enough for a whole year of county party activities in 1985? Look at the title of this thread.
Ouch.
No, but I’d love to become a paid poster that I’m always hearing about on FR. Where do I apply?
I don’t believe 2DV is getting paid to post.
I think he’s just a guy who likes Cruz a whole lot.
Of course not.
It’s not the first HuffPo article on TC. But it was selected.
Let me know if you find out.
OK
Back during the last primaries, there was some guy who was convinced that I was being paid to post stuff up on FR for Rick Perry (which is funny, because I wasn’t even particularly pro-Perry). So I just played along with the guy, talked about needing a new bass boat, and the like.
I do. But I love this country even more and will do almost anything to keep those two socialists out of the White House, including raising at least a hundred thousand for Trump if he’s the nominee.
A legitimate republic does not have Unbound/Super Delegates. Defending such a system is supporting Tyranny.
I dunno. If someone voted for Trump, they lose their salvation.
Dude, seek out some professional help. If not for yourself, for your family.
