“Donna Holstein”
Huh? Well, she’s out back chewing her cud at the moment, and that’s why she fails to vote. It’s either that, or the caucuses happen during the “milking hour.” Oh Ted, you’ve completely trampled your schlong on this one! Or maybe Donna has.
We got a letter like that from our power company a few winters ago. They said that we were using more electricity and natural gas than our neighbors and they gave us an “F”. At the time my brother-in-law was fighting in Iraq. My sister-in-law was going through a hard time so she and her two daughters came to live with us that winter.
They were trying to shame us into conserving power. The letter even mentioned global warming. I was extremely offended. I sent them the nastiest letter that I had ever written. I fear I would react the same way to this obnoxious letter from Cruz, but it does seem to capture the holier than thou attitude of Ted and many of his followers. I used to say that I would be happy if either Cruz or Trump was the nominee, but there has been one offensive revelation after another about Ted lately.
Wow...
Someone is socially tone deaf. Maybe he is a bit farther along the autism spectrum than I had thought. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Looks like Ted’s been busTED.
These are common mailings. Received a few times in Florida by mail and email in the past.
Are you sure this isn’t just another one of Ted Cruz’s “jokes”?
“Comrade, It has come to our attention that you have not voted in Party elections during the past 5-year plan. You should know we are watching....”
That’s what the message feels like. The old Soviet Union. Big Brother reminding you he is watching.
Shame shame, you know your name!
Now get out there and vote—unless you want copies of your medical records mailed out, you dirty schweinhund.
The Cruz campaign seemingly having too much fun...
Another brilliant tactic by the smartest man ever. I put this right up there with insulting everyone in and from the state of New York. Way to go Cruz! The Democrats are shaking in their boots at the thought of facing Ted, eh, in the general.
Is this even legal?
This is strange.
As if the unsoliciTED money-begging spam messages from Cruz weren’t enough, now we have creepy, high-pressure gotv messages, too.
Cruz is beyond socially awkward.
I thought this was satire for sure, but apparently it isn’t, wow! Public shaming has to be about the most communistic tactic anybody can use. Unbelievable!
I don’t like this
If Cruz is willing to pry into Republican’s voting records for his campaign and use public shaming, why on earth would anyone trust this immature politically tone deaf man with the power of the Presidency?
That’s terrible. Who approved that?
Shame you into voting for...? Another candidate.
It almost seems like a hit piece effort. Dirty trick.
In my state (where no dirty trick hasn’t been tried) one dirty trick was setting a robo dial for 1-4 a.m. using a competitor’s name - making it look like it came from that candidate.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense would understand that this kind of nonsense will piss people off in the most visceral way. Terrible optics....if Trump grabs this it’s going to cost Cruz.
