Looks like Ted is in deep trouble.
He said” I will apologize to no one.” He is just like his college classmates said: “A know it all, a creep, a person who thinks he has nothing to learn from anyone.”
Cruz is a jerk. I damn sure do not want him (bought and paid for by Goldman Sachs and other money lenders like his private equity pals as CIC). He still tells crowds that his father fought with Castro and others. Total BS.
The crap he pulled is not illegal. Cruz just likes to stretch the truth.
After all, I assume the mailers went to all registered Iowa Repubs.
So perhaps the response would be "Sc*** them all...Im not caucusing.
Guess we have to know exactly who got them.
Ted needs gun control-he shot himself in both feet at once with this letter.Receiving such a letter would anger me and likely ensure the person sending it wouldn’t get my vote.
You don’t catch anyhting with vinegar!
I am a Cruz supporter...but I can say without any excuse or preamble that this was a big mistake by Cruz.
People will see and feel “big brother,” all over it...they very thing Cruz is campaigning against.
In addition, it will offend, and then anger them, and they will most likely (if they vote at all), go out and vote against whomever sent such a correspondence.
Cruz has some knuckleheads working for him...or agents working against him.
Does not matter...he himself should have seen how crazy this was and either stopped it...or if he did not find out until later...he should have apologized and fired the people who were responsible.
This will hurt him, particularly in Iowa, but also wherever people hear of it...and you can bet the competition will trumpet it far and wide.
Why?
Fox and Friends let him blow it off this morning. Showed a clip of Cruz saying all candidates do what it takes to win and he would apologize for nothing. Steve Doucey thought that was real funny.
No no you don’t get it this an indication of his genius. Ted places 3rd in Iowa is my prediction. He gonna be a popular as a fart in a car in about a week.
Cruz made a campaign violation.
EXCERPT The Iowa secretary of state was mostly concerned that Cruz’s campaign mailers appeared partially disguised to look like an official communication from the state government.
After looking at several mailers posted online, I was more curious about how the Cruz campaign came up with its scores. On all the mailers I saw, every voter listed had only one of three possible scores: fifty-five per cent, sixty-five per cent, or seventy-five per cent, which translate to F, D, and C grades, respectively. Iowans take voting pretty seriously.
Why was it that nobody had a higher grade?
Although Iowa voter-registration information is free and available to the public, voter history is not. That information is maintained by the Iowa secretary of state, who licenses it to campaigns, super PACs, polling firms, and any other entity that might want it.
So was the Cruz campaign accurately portraying the voter histories of Iowans? Or did it simply make up the numbers?
It seems to have made them up. Dave Peterson, a political scientist at Iowa State University who is well-acquainted with the research on “social pressure†turnout techniques, received a mailer last week. The Cruz campaign pegged his voting percentage at fifty-five per cent, which seems to be the most common score that the campaign gives out.
(All of the neighbors listed on Peterson’s mailer also received a score of fifty-five per cent.) Peterson, who is actually a Hillary Clinton supporter, moved to Iowa in 2009. He told me that he has voted in three out of the last three general elections and in two out of the last three primaries.
“There are other people listed on my mailer who live in my neighborhood that are all different ages, but everyone on this sheet has the same score of fifty-five per cent,†he said. “Some are significantly younger and would have not been eligible to vote in these elections, and others are older and have voted consistently, going back years. There is no way to get to us all having the same score.†(Peterson also spoke with Mother Jones.)
If the Cruz campaign based its score on local elections, Peterson said, the number also wouldn’t make sense, based on his participation in those elections as well. A source with access to the Iowa voter file told me that he checked several other names on Cruz mailers and that the voting histories of those individuals did not match the scores that the Cruz campaign assigned them in the mailer. ---SNIP--
