A poll bump and a terrific #CruzCountry #CruzToVictory Tour!
TedCruz.org ^ | 08/15/15 | Jeff Roe

Posted on 08/16/2015 4:27:37 PM PDT by Isara

Because of you, it’s been another amazing week! We just wrapped up our #CruzCountry #CruzToVictory Bus Tour through seven southern states that will play a huge role in making Ted our Republican nominee for President in 2016:

Coming off of the recent Republican Presidential debate, the wind was at our backs. A recent NBC poll ran after the debate and released Sunday morning showed that Ted had jumped up to second place nationally:

But even I’ll admit, we were a little surprised at the receptions we received throughout the tour. From the debate stage in Ohio to South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, at stop after stop, we had to move our events from inside to outside in fields and parking lots to accommodate the crowds of courageous conservatives that turned out to support Ted. Your showing of support was absolutely breathtakingthank you:

The tour started in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, on Friday, August 7th and concluded on Thursday evening in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the atmosphere was absolutely electric. And the results were clear — the southern states that account for 356 of the 1,236 delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination for President — the so-called “SEC” Primary states, are #CruzCountry. We look forward to continuing to build on our strong presence there to ensure we compete and win in the South!

One of the stops turned unusually personally along the way — I wanted to share the story with you. In Murfreesboro, Tennessee earlier this week, we had an unexpected and special guest — Pastor Gaylon Wiley. Many years ago, Pastor Wiley help lead Ted’s father, Rafael, to Jesus and baptized Ted when he was just eight years old. They hadn’t seen each other in years, and it was truly touching to witness the two of them reuniting. You can read about it here.

As a reminder, we are less than one week away from our Rally for Religious Liberty in Des Moines, Iowa that will have special appearances from the Newsboys as well as the Bontrager Family Singers. You won’t want to miss it — click here to RSVP to join us! If you or your church would like to host a viewing party, you may sign up for the live stream here.

“lol. Struck a nerve.”

Trolls such as you usually don’t last long before the zot kitties find you. You said you came here for Trump. You would live longer here to stay off Cruz threads with your vitriol against Cruz. Have you made a contribution of cash yet to the present Freepathon?

"In light of that, why does Ted Cruz desire to hurt the U.S. and import 500% more STEM graduates?"

Because the native US graduates are idiots. They don't know anything, have a poor work ethic but have an overly optimistic view of their abilities and are crude, rude and generally dope addled,sex crazed leftist who have been pampered and doted upon their entire lives.

U.S. graduates USED to have a work ethic. They used to study hard to work toward their goals. Then liberalism and corrupt politicians stuck their noses under the tent and the ruination of the American student began. Teachers began to be pressured under threat of losing their job to pass students who had done no work or, at best, a minuscule amount of the required work. "Credit recovery" baloney began to be accepted as classwork, when it consisted merely of spending time on an "academic" website reading simplistic paragraphs and answering some multiple choice questions thereafter. Phony-baloney curricula were introduced, based on progressive nonsense instead of facts. We got Commie Core instead of common sense.

The result of the dumbing down of American education to fit a progressive ideal has been the mass production of illiterate, non-numerical "graduates" incapable of critical thinking if their life depended on it. They could quote you every word of their favorite rap song or iTune, but not the structure of the American government, how to figure out the best car to purchase in a logical fashion, or how AIDS is spread. They can't even figure out how not to get pregnant, even though they have been inundated with literature and information since early adolescence.

Compare THIS list, of 2014 graduates. Do you notice a trend in foreign-born winners? BTW, foreign-born students quite often take an American first name to fit in better and to make it easier for American teachers to pronounce it.

Yeah, you’re smarter than Ted Cruz, OK. Ted is misinformed, and you are right. Sorry, no sale. You’re a message board posting, legend in your own mind and he’s a US Senator and the former IG of TX. I think I’ll trust Ted on this one. You understand...

This question has been thoroughly answered over the last several years in various press reports. Case in point - one third of Duke engineering grads could not find work. However, companies have many needs for engineers, they just don’t want to pay the going rate. A lot of engineering work is being outsourced to India, etc.

The applications companies complete for these visas have been examined and have been found wanting.

Perhaps, the most famous example is Disney which has been well documented in the press and here at FR. I don’t remember the exact numbers, but Disney let go 100+ workers (I think they were engineers, but not certain) that were replaced by those in the visa program. The Disney workers were required to train their replacements so they could receive their severance. This occurred just in the last 6 months. In many cases, the visa program is a sham, so the companies payroll is reduced...there is nothing more complicated about it than that.

Trump says what I say, which is counter to what Cruz says.

Cruz backs Trump—currently without reservation.

Cruz, therefore, is wrong.

With the exception of executing on the spot any returning felons... what I said current law.

We unfortunately have an administration that is incapable of following the law and it’s been that was for several administrations. The only difference with the current one is they just advertise they won’t follow them.

You snot-nosed little troll. Marcella is a longtime Freeper who has done more for the cause of conservatism than you dream of doing. Speak with respect.

Notice that these noobs with bad manners are almost always for Trump.

Its obvious to anyone reading this thread who is attacking who. I asked a legitimate question and got piled on. We’ll see in the coming week what the other candidates, including Cruz, say about Donald’s plan to stop illegal immigration. This is a real litmus test for their conservatism. And yours.

Scott Walker is the first in line. He has come out as supporting The Wall. What say the other candidates?

You could have found this yourself if you really cared about what Cruz thinks about a wall. If you knew anything about Cruz, you would have known his stand on illegal immigration. To find out about your concerned WALL, send Cruz that question at this link:

All Cruz has said, that I’m aware of, is, “Build a wall in some places.” And he did not say that recently. Its very telling that none of his supporters could tell me even that much. Just insult me. Real coalition building there.

But I will know the answer to the question by the end of the week. Every candidate will take a stand on The Wall by then. If they say nothing, that is a stand too.

Hopefully, Cruz will take a serious, straightforward position on the plan Trump has just laid out on paper, because his supporters surely can’t.

Flame on.

I note you didn’t get a response as to whether that one has donated to the Freepathon.

I wonder how beneficial to the site these Trump trolls are compared to the donating Freepers to whom they screech and gibber.
