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....

one thing we can be fairly certain about, is that this news of the University poll saying Cruz is ahead in Iowa......will cause the Trump to unleash another juvenile Twatter tirade....

Do a google search, it is easier to find then the weather report. I have better things to do the spoon feed you what you should already know.

So you have no evidence. Typical. This is just like arguing with a liberal. And now you want me to find your evidence for you?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Iowa has the opportunity to reject the kind of vulgar, indecent and unpresidential campaign Trump has been running. It would be a ray of hope for the nation if they affirm that yeah, ‘character’ still matters for the presidency.

No, I was simply pointing out an oddity of 2012. It is my understanding that they changed the rules this time around.

I read a great piece on Facebook today about Glenn Beck.

He gets zero respect here and I have to admit I don’t watch/listen to him, but he is the 3rd most popular radio host and he has led some really worthwhile movements..I meant to copy the piece but didn’t.

Not everyone thinks he’s a moron.

He does have some issues but he also has a following.

And maybe next time, you can refrain from posting that Goldman Sachs lie again.

Really, that's all you got? Why did you even bother.

I was curious. Trump isn't all that conservative, after all.

Thanks for the clarification. I 'preciate it.

Trumps paying to play!

Am hearing that Breitbart writers were complaining about how they had to spin stories for trump, they signed up to be conservative journalists and now their stuck spinning pro trump stories....they did’t want to lose their jobs so they “leaked the info” to another news source that would report it......do a google search... “Trump pay for play Breitbart”

“We can shock the political world with a victory for Ted in Iowa”

I take that statement to mean that it would be shocking IF Ted wins Iowa. And from his own campaign staff at that. I guess their internal polling is confirming what most other polls have been showing for the last few days, namely Ted is at least 10 points behind Trump in Iowa.

I swore I wouldn’t post to you ... the idiocy might be catching.

But you’ve just posted a lie.

That post should be removed by the moderators.

Tell that to Yahoo finance or OpenSecrets. Take YOUR pick.

I will take both because neither one shows that Ted Cruz took money from Goldman Sachs. Again, corporations are barred from giving money to candidates. Yahoo knows this. Opensecrets knows this. Yet for some reason you do not. Is this your first election?

Cruz does so well one on one or in small crowds with voters.

He’s a charming guy and a nice guy.

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?

That is why no one takes you serious, you lie like it is second nature to you. Trump never said he was re-admitting millions of illegals, never said that. What he did say is the he would let them get in line and come in if they meet the legal requirement. That means the have to be a benefit to America, not welfare queens and be legal. Trump is not for single payer health care and it is easy to find his position on the internet. Trump does not support gay marriage, what he said was that you have to follow the legal path to fight it, I may not agree with his position on this one, but it is not un-reasonable. Add to that Trump absolutly does what he says he will do. Cruz, not so much. He said he would do his best to stop obumber from implementing his agenda, but instead he want out of his way to help obumber with TPA and the corker bill.
