Today the Cruz campaign announced the endorsements of former Chairmen of the California Republican Party John S. Herrington and Tirso del Junco. They join former CRP Chairmen Ron Nehring and Michael Schroeder on the Cruz team
From the campaign statement:
“As a member of President Reagan’s cabinet, I’ve seen first-hand how a great leader can change the course of our nation. Ted Cruz is the proven conservative leader our country needs to lead us to prosperity once again,” said Herrington.
John S. Herrington served as President Reagan’s Assistant Secretary of the Navy from 1981-83, Deputy Assistant for Presidential Personnel from 1983-85, and Secretary of Energy for Reagan’s entire second term. Herrington then served as Chairman of the California Republican Party (CRP) from 1995-97.
“I am 100% behind Ted Cruz for President. As a fellow Cuban American, I believe he will lead the country back to the Reagan revolution,” said Del Junco.
All four of them will be delegates for Cruz. If you don’t think that this is a big deal, think again. The support of these California Republicans will not only speak to the voters, it shows that Cruz’s campaign knows the state, knows its Republicans, and knows how to navigate the waters.
As we have seen in every state so far, save for maybe New York, the Trump campaign knows nothing about the politics or the voters or the issues that matter to them. He gets talking points fed to him and he regurgitates them on stage. Ted Cruz knows the actual people. In every state. The way a President should.
This comes after last week’s announcement of the support of 50 current and former California Republican elected officials.
That's nothing. There are like SEVEN people on Free Republic who endorse him.
True...especially Colorado...it sunk him.
Meanwhile Rubio is warming up to Trump. Does this mean Trump is GOPe now? http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/04/22/marco-rubio-warns-gop-lets-not-divide-the-party-over-donald-trump/

The Reagan establishment.

Appellate constitutional cases are all Cruz has tried.
He has never done Tort law.
“The Case of Cruz the Defender of Huge Jury Awards. During his political career, Cruz has been an advocate of TORT reform—the effort pushed by conservatives and business interests to restrict malpractice and other wrongful injury and death lawsuits and to limit how much a jury can award a harmed individual for pain and suffering and in punitive damages.
While running for the Senate, Cruz boasted that he had defended a pro-business tort reform law passed in Texas in 2003 that severely constrained the ability of consumers to sue medical professionals and nursing homes and to collect punitive damages in other cases. After becoming a senator, Cruz said Texas-style tort reform—which places a cap of $750,000 on punitive damages—ought to be a federal law.
Yet twice as a lawyer at Morgan Lewis, Cruz worked to secure $50 million-plus jury awards in TORT cases prompted by corporate malfeasance. These are exactly the sort of jury awards that the TORT reform Cruz has promoted would abolish.
Trump Got Paul Manafort endorsement who got elected so those people could have a Job
Who are these p;people, and why should I care? If they are critical, I hope they are getting excellent care in the ICU.
LOL
I don’t recall Reagan giving money to Democrats (after he became a Republican) or trying to take an old widow’s home.

Anyone wondering just what is in Cruz’ records that were sealed?
Well, we aren’t the ones who think someone can win 102% of the remaining delegates, so we got that going for us....
Lincoln won on the third ballot. We aren’t in the middle of a “typical” election cycle, if you hadn’t noticed.
You keep pointing to Lincoln like he was a good president. He murdered Americans over a Tax and gutted the Constitution. That what you want to do again?
Oh good, a neo-Confederate.
The proper term is educated. Read Lincoln’s inaugural address sometime. Slavery was conceded to the South PRIOR to Secession.
In his first inaugural address, Lincoln stated clearly that (1) he had no legal authority to interfere with slavery where it existed, (2) that he had no inclination or intention to do so even if he had the legal authority, (3) that he would enforce the Fugitive Slave Act, returning runaway slaves escaping to the North to their masters in the South, and (4) that he fully supported the Thirteenth Amendment then being debated in Congress which would protect slavery in perpetuity and was irrevocable. He later famously stated, “Do not paint me with the Abolitionist brush.”
That left what the South was up in arms about - the passage of the 47% Morrill Tariff. A tax on the South.
In Lincoln’s first four months, he:
- Failed to call Congress into session after the South fired upon Fort Sumter, in direct violation of the Constitution.
- Called up an army of 75,000 men, bypassing the Congressional authority in direct violation of the Constitution.
_ Unilaterally suspended the writ of habeas corpus, a function of Congress, violating the Constitution. This gave him the power, as he saw it, to arrest civilians without charge and imprison them indefinitely without trial—which he did.
- Ignored a Supreme Court order to restore the right of habeas corpus, thus violating the Constitution again and ignoring the Separation of Powers which the Founders put in place exactly for the purpose of preventing one man’s using tyrannical powers in the executive.
- When the Chief Justice forwarded a copy of the Supreme Court’s decision to Lincoln, he wrote out an order for the arrest of the Chief Justice and gave it to a U.S. Marshall for expedition, in violation of the Constitution.
- Unilaterally ordered a naval blockade of southern ports, an act of war, and a responsibility of Congress, in violation of the Constitution.
- Commandeered and closed over 300 newspapers in the North, because of editorials against his war policy and his illegal military invasion of the South. This clearly violated the First Amendment freedom of speech and press clauses.
- Sent in Army forces to destroy the printing presses and other machinery at those newspapers, in violation of the Constitution.
- Arrested the publishers, editors and owners of those newspapers, and imprisoned them without charge and without trial for the remainder of the war, all in direct violation of both the Constitution and the Supreme Court order aforementioned.
- Arrested and imprisoned, without charge or trial, another 15,000-20,000 U.S. citizens who dared to speak out against the war, his policies, or were suspected of anti-war feelin gs. (Relative to the population at the time, this would be equivalent to President G.W. Bush arresting and imprisoning roughly 150,000-200,000 Americans without trial for “disagreeing” with the Iraq war; can you imagine?)
-Sent the Army to arrest the entire legislature of Maryland to keep them from meeting legally, because they were debating a bill of secession; they were all imprisoned without charge or trial, in direct violation of the Constitution.
-Unilaterally created the state of West Virginia in direct violation of the Constitution.
-Sent 350,000 Northern men to their deaths to kill 350,000 Southern men.
Yeah 3rd votes at a contested convention generate such good results..
And Trump is polling 27 points above Cruz in California - do these guys have any pull with the GOPe/RNC where they can send the locusts in to denude the tree of delegates - despite how the People vote?
Lincoln’s presidency ended up in a civil war that cost the lives of 600,000 men and set the country back for years.
It’s good to know you think we can expect the same from Ted.
