NASHVILLE -- Fresh off GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz's Monday night victory in Iowa's caucuses, the head of U.S. Sen. Cruz's Tennessee campaign says it has the "strongest ground game" going in the Volunteer State.
The campaign also sought to provide new momentum here by announcing an additional nine Tennessee legislators who are endorsing the Texas Republican, bringing the total legislative endorsements to 18.
That's "10 more legislators than the next closest GOP candidate," Stephen Siao, Cruz state director, said in an email to reporters. We will also announce a county chair for each of TN's 95 counties, which no other campaign has achieved this cycle, and no GOP campaign achieved in 2012 or 2008.
"We have," Siao declared, "the strongest ground game by far of any GOP campaign in TN."
The list of new endorsements includes state Sen. Janice Bowling, R-Tullahoma, and state Sen. Jim Tracy, R-Shelbyville.
Others are: state Sens. Mark Green, R-Clarksville; Joey Hensley, R-Hohenwald; Frank Niceley, R-Strawberry Plains; Rep. Tilman Goins, R-Morristown, and Rep. Ron Lollar, R-Memphis.
“What did he steal - some old ladyâs house?”
Carson votes.
We’re between Knoxville and Crossville. Very conservative and loving it. We were in SoCal for about 10 years, and what a wonderful difference.
“I thought you said that you were in TN now.”
Yes; In TN now. Guess I should’ve said, “when we moved HERE”. Sorry. Not paying attention.
This Cruzer thinks it worked better than it should have.
TN primary is March 1, 2016
I live in Atoka, TN, Tipton Co. all I see is Trump small yard signs on the public right a way’s or in road dividers up to the Shelby Co line at Millington along Hwy 51, not sure how far north it goes, as I’ve not been down that way as there has been no need to go to Covington, TN. Many home owners have had Trump signs stuck in their public right away have removed them. Seems no one asked permission from the home owners if they wanted them.
Some one went crazy with the Trump signs as you can’t go more that a few feet on Hwy 51 that runs to Millington with out encountering a Trump sign. NO BIG ONES.
NO personal yard signs up in our area except the 1 Carson sign.
I travel Hwy 51 to go to the Navy Base in Millington, TN often.
I’m 30 miles from Memphis in Tipton Co, and I will Vote CRUZ.
And I don’t do this “Iâm sure there are some down in the hollers smokinâ their corncob pipes and chugginâ the âshine.”
Nor do I know any one that does. We are career Ret. Military and hubby was a Prof for electronics and computer science until he retired from that. My cousins live in East TN and are 30 year career USAF Military Brass family, and are voting Cruz.
Just because you come from TN does not make you an moonshine, bacca chewing IDIOT.
Shelby and Davidson Counties are the most liberal, all dem run.
I always vote early you don’t know what life will throw at you in the way of road blocks. My late husband died just before the ‘04 election, we voted early. He was buried Election day in ‘04. With relatives coming from as far away as Iowa, Ill, and Ind.
Spent the next election in the hospital, thankful for early voting.
Check mail.
Whatcha smoking Joe? Crooze is going to get bruised and battered for his poor judgment. Then its bye bye baby!
