“There is no such thing as an election violation related to frequency of voting.” = Well that can’t be true - can someone vote multiple times in same election /sarc

“I’m suspicious of just about anything of this nature which happens in the days immediately preceding a vote. It takes time for it to be noticed and responded to if it was a dirty trick by other candidates.”

This was my honest reaction, too.

Then Cruz confirmed it.

Pretty scathing!

What was he thinking?

I’ve never doubted Cruz was brilliant. Immigration is my #1 issue, having escaped Mexifornia. So Trump’s policy was much better and more consistent.

But this just makes me wonder about some of his recent decisions.

The GOP-e is totally trying to take Cruz out In Iowa as many FReepers cheer them on. It’s like an alternate universe around here.

I have to admit, using liberal get out the vote tactics goes really hand in hand with the liberal belittling via name calling. I think there were much better ways to get out the vote than to issue 'voting violations' and grading voters. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Ok, hope it doesn’t do him in. Damn shame if a stupid move knocks him out.

McConnell's is one I know of. Not saying you have to agree with it, but this is the counter to people saying Cruz "came up with it." His staff pulled it out of a playbook.

‘This appears to be a direct copy nearly of similar things sent out by campaigns for Republicans and Democrats alike years ago.’

The only candidate specifically cited for doing this so far is Obama.

But this is an example of sending vinegar at a problem that would be better solved with honey. “Your neighborhood has been a low voting neighborhood in past primaries. Primaries count! Could we please have your vote?”

The reality is they both suck, for different reasons. Sad thing is, compared to the rest of the field, they rock.

We’re once again stuck with what we have.

That’s because even though they prefer Rubio or Bush, they know Trump will go along with the D.C. corrupt cartel.

"If Cruz is trying to get Republicans to vote for him, what is the problem?"

Here's an FR post with a over a 1000 comments that explain what the problem is hundred times over:

FR

btw, you posted on that one a few times yourself, so you know damn good and well what the "problem" is.
