“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....

Interesting conclusion. If it happens, we'll have to work even harder than Ted for November.
The Huffington Post is on board for Ted, here.
Gee, wonder why that is?
Pointing out that he’s a hard worker is hardly endorsing him.
Trump REFUSES to learn the rules in the states Cruz has won yet whines and cries that Cruz is “stealing” delegates. The truth is that he is too cheap to hire the workers and develop the ground game to win in those states.
Trump and his supporters are the biggest bunch of whiners and crybullies I have ever seen.
Scott Walker’s mistake was to hire some guy, an expert, to do the work for him.
Interestingly, Trump just hired him after canning Lebowski.
You have to work twice as hard when everyone hates you.
Sure. Just another leftist source or hard-left that you use here. So why did you post it? You run interference for Ted all the time. Is this just a coincidence?

Late 2015 sign-on posts Cruz attack article from the most left-leaning newspaper in New York City? Seems legit.

sargon: [That’s no more or less legit than a 2006 sign-on posting a Trump attack article from the most left-leaning web site on the internet...]

Here, I’ll name it for him.
We’ll just go back to a couple of weeks in March, 2016 or so and note the articles posted by 2DV, from sites usually considered leftist at FR (granted some are used in various ways).
In this list, 2DV posted articles from The Huffington Post, Salon, The Daily Beast, NPR, Mother Jones, CNBC, The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Cruz stole from the VOTERS. And the voters are mad
because the GOP are scum liars, and helpers of Obama.
One presumes, FRiend, that you remain on the side
of the People whose votes should count.
And you just prove my point.
I feel like Englebert Humperdink or the Beatles. Never dreamed I’d have groupies who search for my greatest hits. You love me, you really love me.
Who is Lebowski? Is he someone big?
Whether Trump or Cruz, a COMPLETE campaign will be needed to win. That means 100% of FReepers and TeaPartiers and all of us must get to know our neighbors and get them to vote for US as the surrogates of the candidate.
The candidate cannot do it alone this time.
With THAT kind of posting history from far left sources, it does give one pause. The Huffington Post, Salon, The Daily Beast, NPR, Mother Jones, CNBC, The New York Times and The Washington Post?
Sounds like they’ve got a field correspondent with too much time on his hands.
I have said here many times that if Don Trump garners the Republican nomination I will enthusiastically vote for him. Can the Trump backers here say the same about Ted Cruz?
Well, Walker had a real job (Governor) to keep doing every day.
Cruz is a Senator, LOL
Yes, this one, and the one I’m about to post, were collected AFTER you hit on Maxisthebest.
Several months ago, when you posted a hit piece on DT from a leftist source, I figured you were a desperate Cruzbot or in fact, paid to do so.
Fact: You live or lived in the Dallas area
Fact: Your tagline used to say “I’ll raise $2 million for Sarah Palin. What will YOU do?” (roughly). Then, Sarah Palin jumped on board the DT train.
Fact: You said, at least as late as 2010 in your tagline, that an NBC requires TWO citizen parents. Which TC did not, at his birth. Now, you’ve changed.
Fact: At one time, you asked FReepers for money in FReepmail. Many years ago.
Fact: You post an endless stream of articles, including many pro-Cruz and more than a couple anti-Trump.
Fact: You run interference for Ted inside many threads.
I say you’re paid. Oh, you may not be paid by Ted directly, but someone connected to him or someone rooting for him, that has money, is paying you.
You work it like a job. I say it’s a job.
“one of the two major parties in the United States is approaching a breakdown as its leaders are finally engaging with their voters”
It seems that Bernie, the socialist, is engaging Democrats very well. Hillary, the party leader, is less engaging.
