TYLER (KYTX) – Republican Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz brought his campaign to Tyler Thursday. Just under 1,000 people attended to show their support for Cruz.

Ted rallied the crowd, 80% of which never sat down, with his usual stump speech, but a lot of great interaction with audience members. Afterwards, he remained there in the heat, exhibiting the patience of Job, and shook hands and signed things for at least an hour. I was able to meet him briefly and got a picture together. I'm telling you, these people will walk on coals for Cruz!
What venue in Tyler was this event held?
Why would he waste time, energy and money campaigning in a city and a State that he will carry handily? Could have been some fundraising on the side, maybe. Or, maybe he was coming home for a day or two to rest and be with family.
No, it was at Smith’s Lone Star Event Center.
Don’t know that he considers it wasting time and money. Cruz had three events in Texas today.
1. Fort Worth Stock yards
2. Tyler Texas
3. Kingwood Texas
Just about every one of those in attendance will donate to the Cruz campaign, put a bumper sticker on their car, put up a Cruz sign at their home/business and tell at least 10 others to do the same.
It also keeps him in the news, when Trump is otherwise soaking up all the earned media. Many donors large and small are reconsidering which candidate they are going to back. Cruz wants to show them that he can draw a crowd and get media coverage, even in the wake of Trump fever.
That all said, these rallies need to be replicated in every city in every early state.
Well, dang pictures didn’t work.
Why would he waste time, energy and money campaigning in a city and a State that he will carry handily?
Because people NETWORK... on the internet, in person, thru Email, even different kinds of networking..
People are connected to people.. nationally and world wide..
