Cruz spent around $500K in NH (the least of any candidate), intentionally focusing on other states.

I think you are confused what “lie” means.

Pointing out the hard truths about Trump’s lifelong liberalism is not a lie.

“Door knocking” is an “unprecedented” political tactic? When Obama’s campaign did things that were called “unprecedented,” this was viewed as proving how clever he was, not as something sinister.

"Only the second time this has been posted."

I've never understood why people object to multiple postings, unless the postings are very close together. Once a post gets bumped down to the third or fourth page, most people wouldn't know about it, so I see no problem in a story being occasionally re-posted for the benefit of people who weren't on-line when it was originally posted.

So Trump swindling grandmas out of their SS checks in casinos is AOK with you.

Did Trump use Super PAC money to send people to Grandma's door, befriend her and then shuttle her to the casino promising her she was going to do a righteous, holy act? How many blog posters and talk show callers is the Teddy-NYC Cartel employing now? If this POTUS thing doesn't work out, Teddy could make a fortune in the Televangelism Industry. (No offense intended to Televangelist fans).

"Opps, just what did you mean?"

Maybe they meant that only billionaires should run for public office because only billionaires can fund their own campaigns.

The "Big PACs" paying I'm assuming pay for printing and maybe, just maybe offer students some stipend for their time.

Our Pro-life PACs do this especially in summer or during school breaks.

Parents of teens and college age young people, who support our pro-life cause, allow their teens and college, even post-college young folks to do this to earn a bit of extra money. It is based upon how many homes are contacted, not on hours worked!

Doing this is NOT "dirty tricks" by any stretch of the imagination.

Some of our Pro-life PACs are funded by area business owners who donate to support the cause. Their hearts and minds are all about saving babies .....and their moms!

The reason for a single thread is so that all the discussion (which sometimes can be epic) doesn't get lost when somebody posts the same thread again. I've had to repeat my of my comments on duplicate threads just so they don't get lost.

This seems to be a trait of some campaign spammers.

Now if it was DT supporters doing the door knocking since November, all the posts would be:

I’d take Mercer’s lifetime of action and values over Trump’s in a New York minute.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mercer_(businessman)

Trump’s life is full of trashy and trashy business. And he is in the pocket of one sleazy major donor: himself.

Trump is a new believer in conservatism who is going back to his old ways. At least Cruz has a number of billionaire’s rather than just one.

You're looking through the “Trump lens” so I do consider your response in that light.........Cruz meets with smaller gatherings...called a Ground Game, it's effective and works very well for serious voters as well as candidates. He connects with the voters on a personal level as he answers questions and gives details on the issues which concern serious voters, rather than just give a lot of hoorah to excite people....Cruz understands the seriousness of running for office and the office itself. It's not a circus show for Cruz....it matters to him and this country.

I see you are repeating another lie in your signature. You Cruz people really are good at just making shat up.

Really, how about going to Roy Moore's FB page and see if he posted about Bill Pryor?

Since you basically called me a liar... and managed to get your Trump "shat" in as well... Here you go?

That’s cool, you’re looking through the Cruz lens. Trump’s ego is big, sure, but so are those of most people who run for President. Ted “World Domination” Cruz has wanted to be President at least since he was a teenager. Ted Cruz wants to be President because Ted Cruz has always wanted to be President, and I feel like all the personal engagement in the world can’t mask the fact that voters are just numbers to him, not people. He proves his insincerity daily by the bombardments of “EMERGENCY” requests for money, shame mailers, lying to caucus goers, etc... Ted Cruz doesn’t care about anything but winning, whatever it takes.
