Campaign has 1,573 caucus captains
HOUSTON, Texas - Today, the Cruz for President campaign announced it has 1,573 caucus captains across the state. The announcement marks the final milestone in Cruz's impressive Iowa organization. The campaign is putting its massive Iowa organization to the test this week by mobilizing the grassroots and turning them out to caucus for Cruz.
Leading up to the Iowa Caucus on February 1, the Cruz for President campaign has put together an unmatched ground game throughout the Hawkeye state. It has named a county chair for each of Iowa's 99 counties. The campaign has recruited 247 notable activists, pastors, and lawmakers including Congressman Steve King, Bob Vander Plaats, Steve Deace, and Cruz's chairman Matt Schultz, former Iowa Secretary of State.
As of last week, over 12,000 volunteers have signed on and are now working to identify and turn out caucus goers for Cruz. Volunteers, on average, are making up to 20,000 phone calls and knocking on 2,000 doors every day. During the month of January, 836 people will have stayed at Camp Cruz, the former college dorms that are filled beyond capacity with volunteers from all over the country, some tripling up in rooms using air mattresses.
"In my experience the Cruz organizational effort here in Iowa is unrivaled," said Bryan English, the Cruz campaign's Iowa state director. "We have coalesced conservatives from across the state because they want a conservative leader who will change Washington, break the DC Cartel, and bring power back to ‘We the People'.”
This week, Cruz will be barnstorming the state holding 30 public events in 22 counties leading up to the caucuses. By Monday, he will have completed the ‘Full Grassley,' visiting and holding events in all 99 counties in the state. Over the course of the campaign, Cruz has met thousands of Iowans who have come out to his events. He has made it a point to spend time listening to and getting to know the people of Iowa face to face. Governor Rick Perry, who endorsed Cruz earlier in the week, will be attending events today with Cruz along with Bob Vander Plaats and Congressman Steve King.
All the campaign has done up to this point in Iowa leads to Monday's caucuses. Cruz noted that this incredible effort would not have been possible without the sacrifices made by thousands of courageous conservatives and their families from Iowa and from around the country. The Cruz campaign believes that conservatives in Iowa have united behind their campaign because Cruz is the only candidate in the race with a proven conservative track record and because he has stood up to Washington, including the leaders in his own party.

“We will see, but one things for damn sure, I’ll spend my evening laughing my @$$ off if Cruz pulls out Iowa. Proof positive of what I’m conveying. “
I agree. Strategy wins over tactics in the long-run. We will see. Polls don’t vote.
And Santorum had Chuck Laudner who just happens to be with Trump. Do you really think Trump hasn’t figured out how to win this thing? He hired the best to get it done. He’ll find the voters and get them to where they need to be. It’s great being a billionaire.

It’s Cruz Nuz...what the heck else are they going to say?
A step up news source from Redstate.
How many of these manufactured Cruz News sites are there?
Hey, welcome Sheriff Joe.
Cruz said he would be President in High School. is that not narcissistic?
Every guy in the race has a big ego.
I don’t think you know what ad hominem means.
Fact/evidence - Every poll in Iowa over the past week.
This kind of positive news is what we not to read...and not the negative news that the other candidate is imperfect.
The Trump media circus sucks all the air out of the news cycle. That is not an accident.
Steve Deace said on Twitter Cruz has more precinct captains than some of the candidates will have actual voters. LOL
The Iowa polls showing Trump ahead are based on a YUGE increase in projected turnout of Trump supporters who never caucused before. Steve Deace says this week Cruz will win Iowa. Rove said he “suspects” the polls showing Trump ahead are correct...a weak endorsement of a favorable poll for a guy who would love to see Cruz defeated. If the poll was accurate Rove would be selling it a lot harder.
Trump must be much worse at deal-making than he says then if he couldn’t get Vander Plaats on board.
Donald Trump doesn’t drink, but he was sold for 30 gallons of ethanol.
Good grief! No.
I said when I was young, “I'll fly in the shuttle someday”.
Well, here I am, still in lower orbit. lol. I don't think that makes him narcissistic. Visionary perhaps.
Trump has this thing....it's a special kinda thing. Goes something like this; I I I, me me me, I'm wonderful, you're stupid, I'm great, you're a loser, see what i’ve built, you're very very sad.
Ya know, it's that thing. I like some of the things he sayz because I'm an America first/American worker first kinda guy. Problem, the longer I listen to Trump the more I think he’z full of crap.
The more of his history that comes out, I become more and more convinced he sayz things for effect. Throws crap against the wall to see what sticks.
I dunno, something tells me not to trust this guy.
