Ted Cruz: ‘We can shock the political world’
The Washington Times' Inside The Beltway ^ | January 25, 2016 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 01/25/2016 8:13:22 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

It is an old-fashioned, bodacious campaign blitz. Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz has multiple events in 26 Iowa cities and towns through week's end at a critical time: the next official GOP debate in Des Moines is Thursday, the Iowa caucuses are just six days away. Mr. Cruz is embracing the blitz and has plenty muscle. Campaigning this week with the candidate: Rick Perry, Rep. Steven King and evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaatz -- who have all endorsed the Cruz quest for the White House. The quartet will appear at seven rallies together on Tuesday alone, with stops at a bull ranch, a steak house and a 19th-century historic mansion.

"All across the country, conservatives are coalescing behind Ted, and just days from now, we have the chance to do something remarkable together. We can shock the political world with a victory for Ted in Iowa and begin the march to winning the Republican nomination and taking back the White House," advise campaign organizers.

The Cruzin' To Caucus tour spans a veritable road-trip of Iowa, with visits this week to Maquoketa, Manchester, Independence, Osceola, Albia, Centerville, Bloomfield, Ottumwa, Fairfield, Keosauque, Des Moines, Ringsted, Fenton, Emmetsburg, Wilton, Wapello, Hubbard, Ames, Hamlin, Ida Grove, Sioux City, Iowa City, Davenport, Des Moines, Jefferson and Marion....

Again, corporations are FORBIDDEN from donating to a political campaign, as I’m sure you know.

So where is your evidence? Please show me where Ted Cruz took millions from Goldman Sachs. This is not the first time you have been asked this question. Yet every time, you come up short. Every time. And do you know why? It’s because it isn’t true. Corporations are barred from donating to political candidates. Only a complete idiot would suggest otherwise.

Ethanol mandates, public domain seizures and federal land grabs are conservative, huh?

We've been trough this 100 times. No one gives a crap about petty ethanol subsidies, they mean nothing compaired to things like TPA or the Iran deal. Emanate Domain is in Constitution, cruz supports Emanate Domain.

(It's talking about the large sums, from employees.)

So then Goldman Sachs didn't contribute anything. Thanks for confirming what was already said. Only a complete fool would suggest that Ted received millions in campaign donations from Goldman Sachs. Either a fool or a liar. Take your pick.

Oh. I guess your guy isn't a conservative, after all.

Thanks for the clarification.

You mean like the optics of trying to push an old lady out of her house using the power of the government so you can build a parking lot?

But I do know that Trump is the most conservative candidate in this race by both deed and platform.

Expediting the return of millions of illegals to the US is Conservative? Seriously? How about praising single-payer? Is that Conservative? What about acknowledging that gay marriage is settled law? Is that Conservative?

You have a really screwed up concept of Conservatism if you consider any of that Conservative. I realize you may wish Donald Trump was a Conservative. But calling 'Conservative' one does not make him one. In fact, if you compare his stance now with Mitt Romney's stance four years ago, you will find that Trump lines up to the left of Romney. That's really saying something.
