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....

Trump can’t even define conservative and his supporters scream murder every time we examine his record. He is most definitely not the most conservative.
According to 2ndDivisionVet, they follow pastor, heard mentality. Iowans are not independent thinkers.
Why winning Guam and the Virgin Islands could be as important as Iowa for Ted Cruz

Show me where I have ever said anything along those lines or give up your lying.
Ummmm...I imagine GS executives are donating much more than our dear, brave men and women in the military do, on average.
$69,000.00 is a lot steaks!
As the article stated....GS has given money to well over 100 candidates since 2012, but only six got more from Goldman than Cruz - and two of them were Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.
Not exactly the company to keep/club to be in, when it comes to a Senator or Presidential campaign....especially for CRuz...with his wife’s employment, and all.
Optics (owned).
Although Cruz is campaigning aggressively, his advisers are concerned about the barrage and are now scrambling to reset expectations for him here. They insisted Monday that the senator from Texas always has been the "underdog" in Iowa and argued that a second-place finish to Donald Trump should be interpreted as a mark of grit and would catapult him onward in the nominating contest.
"I can't guarantee we'll win," Cruz told a group of pastors Monday at a private meeting in Cedar Rapids. "I don't know that. That's out of my hands. I believe we have a path to victory."
Still, a loss in Iowa â the state where Cruz has campaigned the most and where the GOPâs deeply conservative base seems a natural fit â would call into question the depth of his coalition. Also at stake is the credibility of his vaunted data and field operation, which in Iowa is believed to be more sophisticated than any other Republicanâs.
On the campaign trail, the people do not hate Ted Cruz at all... Here, they love him!!!!.
Go Cruz go and take the country back to the people!
Guam and VI are important... who knew?
I've learned some fascinating things around here lately.
Here is a link to the video of Donald Trump’s incoherent reply when he was asked to define “conservative.”

Why so snarky?
Goldman-Sachs has never given money to any candidate because it is against the law.
Regurgitating doesn’t become you.....
From the (same) link....
The $69,000 from Goldman is one of the largest sums employees from the Wall Street firm have donated to a single candidate during the last few years.
(It’s talking about the large sums, from employees.)
Ethanol mandates, public domain seizures and federal land grabs are conservative, huh?
