Harris also worked in digital campaigning alongside Senator Ted Cruz in 2012 and Senator Mitch McConnell in 2014, significantly advancing social media presence and following for both US representatives.

I don’t know if this guy has anything to do with it, but Bibi is running a great “Bibisitter” ad in Israel and online.

good for Likud but they need to do a whole lot more if they are going to survive the Obama/Soros/Saudi subversion of Israel’s election

Make no mistake, Paul is a clown and Perry and Gingrich's POTUS campaigns were awful, just awful. Not saying anything of that is this guy's fault but eh.....s POTUS campaigns were awful, just awful. Not saying anything of that is this guy

The most bizarre thing from the 2012 election is virtually all the Perry supporters seemed to have switched to Newt Gingrich after he dropped out. In other words, their talking point went from “debates don’t matter!” to “debates are the ONLY thing that matters!”
