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 got a "Thank You" call from Ted Cruz's MOTHER in August.

Come now. 2ndDivisionVet is a Cruz supporter with some time on his hands. That’s fair. There are Trump supporters just as high-performing.

Oh, I definitely agree with your last sentence.

I was glad to see that 2DV was posting, excitedly, how Donald Trump was investigating Obama’s birth certificate.

But, that was 2011, though. Link is above.

There were a couple of guys running interference for BamBam’s birth certificate way back. They mysteriously disappeared around early 2013. Big surprise.

They will never do that. No honor. I was proud that Trump didn’t fold like a cheap suit against these trumped (forgive the pun) up charges. Cruz would have. Cruz fired his campaign manager for doing exactly what Cruz asked him to do.

It takes a particularly dishonest person to repeat a lie after being corrected with the truth. You know, I almost believed him, and googled about it to see if it was true.

If Trump is to be the nominee, WE must fight if he is to win. We must be foot soldiers who educate our neighbors. We must bypass the Media and go face-to-face with our neighbors.

On average, each FReeper can shft 1 neighbors vote for every 10 or 15 he talks to. Talk to 1,000 and impact 100 to 150 votes. Freepers who are good closers will do better.

FReepers who sell the features and benefits and dont ask-for-the-order will close almost none.

I already pushed the abuse button on your previous one and I’ll do it here.

You, of course, can’t read.

The information was collected AFTER 2DV hit on MaxistheBest for being a noob using leftist sources.

You’re just a thread agitator. And nothing more. I expected more from a long-term FReeper.

Now, do the “running to the mods” thingy that folks like you do.

Dude, I’m not even close to responding to the hitbacks he does on threads.

Take your own breath.

But we ARE informing FReepers. Sorry if you haz a sad.

“... Cruz outworked every opponent of his by a factor of four.”

Quantifiably true.

Writing a truthful article is now a bad thing? I don’t typically trust HuffPo, but the content of this article is pretty compelling.

Get your story straight. Does everyone hate Cruz? Or does the GOPe love Cruz? Make up your mind.

Well, if HuffPo has what you’re looking for, by all means, enjoy.
