HOUSTON, Texas - This morning during the first stop of the six-day, 28-county "Cruzin' to Caucus" Iowa bus tour, Iowa State Senator Jerry Behn endorsed Ted Cruz for President at King's Christian Bookstore in Boone, IA.

Behn is the Iowa State Senator from the 24th District and minority leader in the Iowa Senate. He has served in the Iowa Senate since 1997 and previously served as a Boone County Supervisor from 1995 to 1996. Behn has been farming for 36 years and is a member of Farm Bureau, Iowa Soybean Association, and the Iowa Association of Business and Industry.

"Ted Cruz is the proven and consistent Conservative we need in order to turn this country around," Behn said. "Americans are looking for a leader that will stand for conservative principles, fight the Washington Cartel, and restore the power back to the people. Ted Cruz is that leader."

"Jerry is dedicated to God and country, family and farming," said Cruz. "He stands for the principles that we all share, principles that this country was founded on. With Jerry's leadership it will help unite courageous Conservative across Iowa to reignite the promise of America. I am thrilled to have his support."

Behn and his wife, Denise, live on a farm outside of Boone. They have two daughters, two sons, and six grandchildren.

Cruz better calm down and and get aligned for a Vice Presidential position for 4-8 years and then obtain a scrubbed Washington that he will be able to implement his GREAT views....I see him as the “ross perot” not Donald Trump!The “rino’s” silenced and shunned him effectively already ?....and who are “HIS” donor’s....calm down Freeper’s...and get behind Trump.....it staggers me how quickly many here dismiss Donald because he does not talk in circle’s...I like Ted Cruz but I also equate him with Gowdy...tell me I’m wrong.

You need to go over it. Cruz will not work for an unprincipled man with no core values.
I copied this just for you from a freeper:
Cruz is the only Constitutional Conservative in the race. Cruz supporters also prefer the idea of saving the country vrs burning it to the ground approach of the Trumpsters. Trumpsters are nearly driven by anger and emotion. Logic is a completly foreign item to them.
I don’t support the KELO decision or Trump’s stance on the Government’s right to take private property for whatever reason they think.
I don’t support Trump’s use of Alinsky-like tactics to hit other conservatives in the race
I don’t support Trump’s stance of Universal Healthcare or Big Government solutions
I don’t support Trump’s stance of higher tariffs which will kill the economy and jobs
I don’t support TARP or the Auto Bailouts (which Trump did verbally)
I don’t support Trump’s ignorance on State’s rights (virtually has no clue on 10th Amendment or the Constitution in General given his statements on the SCOTUS cases and Confederate Flag issue).
I don’t support Trump’s pandering to Democrats
I don’t support installing Trump as a dictator (which was advocated here in a thread to which no one has condemned)
I don’t trust Trump’s rhetoric because it is filled with numerous conflicting statements. Without trust, no one gets my vote.
Trump is in this for one thing: Trump

Trump better calm down and look to the VP Spot (one could say the exact same thing for your preferred candidate).

.calm down Freeper’s...and get behind Trump

I am a Cruz supporter who appreciates a lot of what Trump has done, and am sympatico with most of his supporters.

This condescending "calm down and back my guy" business is not going to win friends and influence people. We support Cruz, you support Trump. As long as we are #1 and #2, it is not an issue.
