The TRiUMPh of actual voters over policical insider endorsers

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.
I'll never get over Macho Grande!
“One of the biggest flameouts in political history”
Don’t forget Rubio .. same resume ... first term Senator, immediately uses Senate to build his Presidential creds, mask ripped off by Trump, soon to be looking for a job.

CA republican here: The GOP undermined the anti-illegal movement in this state almost as much as the courts and the Dems. Not surprising they support “give the illegals Teddy Bears” Cruz. Screw them.
Yes Trump is up by 18 pts in CA.
lol. I never gave a much of a @#$ about endorsements.
i’m glad if someone I like endorses the guy I picked but it’s not gonna change my mind if he doesn’t.
I sure don’t want to vote for his reelection. I hope we can field someone good against him (or, better yet, he slinks away for good).
Bloggers keep using the word huge. I do not think that word means what they think it means.
This has been a great fight. It is now over. We must UNITE TO BEAT hillary!! I hope ted joins us all!! If not — Adios!!
I live in Ca and he has a lot of support. Cruz not so much.
“Bloggers keep using the word huge”
If it’s RedState and it’s anti-Trump, it’s huge. Have to keep the troops morale up
Red State
So much for the next Ronald Reagan. A lot of hype and a spectacular flameout!
With your long and varied posting history here, who could doubt you?
Two Trump thumbs up Bump! :-)
The CA GOP is a corrupt whore and has been for at least 20 years.
And every Republican here knows it.
This harms Cruz.
In an open letter released Friday, Mr. Hamm said Mr. Trump wouldn’t be “beholden to special interests and has the fortitude to make tough decisions,” largely because of his business background. In two different places in the roughly 260-word letter viewed by The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Hamm went out of his way to say that he wasn’t solicited to make the endorsement and that he wasn’t endorsing Mr. Trump simply because of a lack of other candidates, such as Mr. Rubio.
“Donald Trump is not my last choice, he is the best choice and I am proud to announce my support today,” Mr. Hamm said.
