This was absolutely brilliant, counter-intuitive strategy on Cruz’ part. This is a guy who does his homework! This is a guy who will take a risk to stand up for his principles instead of taking the cowardly way out and instead of following the establishment playbook. And not just religious principles, but true small-government, free-market principles in the great Milton Friedman tradition, the kind that we haven’t had a candidate campaign on since Reagan. Ted Cruz is the presidential candidate conservatives have been dreaming about for decades.
He sure as heck got my attention!
Traveling Iowa, critical to his success, with a principled no government ethanol mandate message.
That took real honesty and conviction. I am impressed!
