One thing is certain, though. Even if Cruz, my favored candidate, is damaged and becomes a non-factor by the time of the Missouri primary on March 15, there is one candidate I definitely will not be voting for, and that is Donald Trump. Trump is a total embarrassment. I would vote for one of the other guys--i.e., the next-best overall social and constitutional conservative--before I would ever vote for Trump.
Cruz is the Supreme Asshat
Trump has three rallies in Iowa today. He should get one of these and hold it up and talk about it at each.
Expenditures for Mercer’s Keep the Promise PAC recent efforts in Iowa.
Looks like he funnels money into the Super Pac, then he pays his own firm, Cambridge Analytica
Oddball companies that are paid large sums of money like paid $1,095,000 Rigel Strategies LLC, office mailing address going to UPS stores... Hmmmm, tracks covered as well as possible so we can see who is working with whom trying to control the election.

Way To Go Ted; so others accuse Trump of outrageousness but are all sacrosanct when Cruz does something? Eye Roll.
bfl
He could have done it with out all of the personal information.
It would have been simple and more effective as there would not be the blowback that this caused.
Big mistake on the part of his campaign.
Who is the dummy that thought this up? And are we sure it was Cruz? Could be a set-up, can’t believe anyone would be so stupid as to think they would gain by this. -—Unless it’s some sort of “false flag” deal by some other campaign (even that seems ludicrous), more likely some moron on his own, or some less-than-intelligent PAC.
I don’t see anything wrong with them. Electric companies use them all the time.
As a matter of fact, this has been done before. Experts say it works.
Iowa Caucus is soon, very soon. I’d be pissed if this was in my mailbox!
Ted Cruz is the debate team AP US History AP American Government nerd who shows up at the prom committee meeting and proposes "Resolved: the rule of Happersett v. Minor must be clarified" as the prom theme.
It's not surprising that this intrusive "good citizenship" move comes from his campaign.
ANOTHER CONFIRMATION THE MAILERS BELONG TO CRUZ. CONFIRMED BY STEVE DEACE.
“AMES, Iowa- Iowa radio host Steve Deace, a top Ted Cruz endorser in this state, claimed on Saturday that controversial mailers sent to Iowa voters by the Cruz campaign were inauthentic, despite the fact that the campaign itself confirmed they were real.
Deace later acknowledged having erred, tweeting that he “stands corrected” and that, “The mailer that has Team Rubio upset is in fact from the Cruz campaign.”
Sounds like an Obama/Jarrett stunt:
“We will reward our friends and punish our enemies.”
I don’t believe it is from Cruz or anyone that this notice says it is from. It’s campaign crap and creepy too. Probably from a Democrat to stir up disgust among GOP voters.
I tell you this. If it was the Trump campaign that sent these violations out, the opinions on this board would be 180 degrees different. Cruz supporters would be trumpeting this as an example of how Trump is utterly out of control and contemptuous of the citizens of Iowa and Trump supporters would be defending it as "genius" and "brilliant".
So this is how a “Christian” campaigns?
Bye, Ted.
