Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) has been dogged on the campaign trail here in Iowa by a curious protester: a young man holding a sign that states, "Ted Cruz likes Nickelback."
Nickelback is a Canadian band that has become synonymous with bad musical taste.
The protester appeared at various Cruz events earlier this month and photos of him holding the sign have gone viral. Saturday, he showed up outside a rally hosted by Cruz's super PAC. He was dressed in a Royal Canadian Mounted Police uniform and stood behind Canadian flags he placed in the ground, as well as a picture of Cruz's face inside a maple leaf - very similar to an image put in an ad by a super PAC supporting Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.)
The young man would not give his name or his affiliation, despite boasting that photos of him have whipped around the Internet, and that one appeared on the front page of The Wall Street Journal. "They're both Canadian," the man said. He also handed out copies of Cruz's birth certificate. "I just don't want, really, a Canadian in office. It seems like he's got a lot of controversy behind him whether he's a U.S.-born citizen or not and I'm just out here making a statement."
Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Nickelback is also from Alberta. The band weighed in on the sign earlier this month.

This is the use of the Alinsky Method at a savvy level. To cast your opponent as an object of ridicule in a skillful way is going by the rules. If Cruz cant make a counteroffensive when these little things rear their ugly heads, he may be really flat-footed when the big bombs come in from the pros.
*******************************
Your point is perfect. We have all seen for many years the alinsky methods used successfully 100% of the time. There is never ever ANY push back let alone attempt to turn them around.
Other than Trump, there is no candidate who has shown the least ability to do so. Nor have they shown the slightest inclination to do so, other than Trump.
Just to take the citizenship thing as an example, Cruz should have anticipated the issue and planned to meet it head on. Alinsky methods do not depend on the merits or substance of an issue, just the destructive power. Arguing over legal language during a campaign is a loser’s game.
Now the issue is whirling around Cruz and he has no capacity to stop it. He did not prepare, and he cannot think on his feet.
I would love to have the intellectual capacity and Constitutional principles of a President Cruz at work. But if he can’t reach first base, he is not going to reach home plate.

that was different... must buy bow string by the case
the Highway to Hell was great too
i've heard Photograph but never knew the name of the band, good stuff... guess they're just not metrosexual enough for those who are only cool in their own minds
What's better to have a Canadian lead the invasion.
You do know who made that movie, right?
After the eyerolling, he explained to me that they were a band that pretended to be cutting edge, but were really bubblegum.
Apparently, in the young adult world, you cannot stake a claim to being hip and with-it and like Nickleback.
"You like Nickleback" is something of a social media insult.
I suppose this young man is gearing his guerrilla campaign towards younger voters, who will instantly get what he is saying.
Michael Moore made Canadian Bacon.
John Candy, who is Canadian, played the lead character who led the invasion of Canada.
Wow. Interesting.
Not the least of which is awful full-blown realization that I am over the hill.
Those who love me have suspected it for some time, but I've been in denial. LOL
His reaction was akin to, "Dad, didn't you know the sky was blue?"
Thank you for your well thought out comment about Cruz and the Alinsky Method. I brought up this subject, because I believe this method of attack is a blind spot for his organization. They have shown no effort to respond to it. Cruz is so vulnerable that a Saturday Night Live skit would derail his campaign. The DemonRATs play like thugs and will play Knock Down King. Cruz will not even know what hit him.
Wait until the trickle turns into a down pour. Cruz will be letting them piss on his leg and he will call it rain. He will look like a buffoon.
The irony is that when Trump counteracts these Alinsky tactics with attacks of his own, people here will often say that Trump is being "thin-skinned" and thus does not have the temperament to be president.
Yet we see what happens to Republicans like George W. Bush, Dan Quayle and Sarah Palin when they decide to just ignore the attacks and "suck it up."
Trump fighting back like he is, the Democrats and their henchmen in the mainstream press have never seen this before and haven't yet figured out how to deal with it.
