I told my dear hubby that Cruz just lost the election. I’m not in Iowa, but it ticked me off, too.

There appears to have been NO response or acknowledgement of this theme by the Cruz campaign.

Naw, no opus. Just candidate-less for the 4th POTUS election, again.

No, he doesn’t. He’s a NASTY MAN and is fooling a lot of people. Perhaps they’ll start to wake up finally, now.

Both conservative and liberal campaigns have used similar mailings since 2004 in many states. I posted two articles about it earlier.

Note that these did NOT go out to everybody in a blanket mailing. It was targeted to voters who they thought might respond well to it.

I am concerned that if they target the wrong voters, they could encourage people who are not Cruz supporters to vote, which wouldn’t help Cruz. This kind of mailing makes more sense in a general election when you can target Republicans directly and be very confident you’re getting vote out for your side as opposed to the Democrat.

It’s apparent that M2T doesn’t recognize the difference between encouraging voters to vote and intimidating them. This is really, really creepy and smacks of Big Brother - yeah, most consistent, constitutional conservative in the race. BRRRRRRR- he leaves me cold.

>>it’s just another example of the disgraceful depths to which politics overall have sunk.

I agree. I thought it ironic that it was Beck who was alerting us to the tactics of the Left, and here “his guy” is using those same tactics.

Guess what...Trump is the other half of the corrupt politicians. It takes two: one to make policy and the other to get the financial benefit. That's Trump's political resume.

<<”I will apologize to nobody for using every tool we can”>> I will apologize to nobody for using every tool we can

Sounds a bit like “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.”

I like Cruz, but I don’t like this.

We've all been hearing about Ted Cruz's vaunted Iowa, "ground game"...

How many fliers went out? How many recipients did not realize it for what it was? How many little old ladies thought they were going to jail? Not a big deal. The only problem is for Cruz-someone was exploited a nothing into a brouhaha. We shall see how that plays out.

I don’t even look at the campaign junk that hits my mailbox, if I saw this I would roll my eyes, say how lame (I hate junk mail) and toss it.
