Jan 2016: North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows announced Wednesday night on Fox News that he would throw his support behind Cruz's campaign and join the Texas senator's team in Iowa later this week....
Meadows, who represents the Tar Heel State's 11th District, is known for his move last July to boot then-House Speaker John Boehner from his leadership spot. The second-term congressman filed a motion against the speaker, escalating the battle between the Republican party's conservative and moderate divisions.
...Cruz has received 20 congressional endorsements, including those from conservative hawks Reps. Steve King of Iowa, Louie Gohmert of Texas and Mo Brooks of Alabama." - Source
Wheee! Wrong move.
If you don’t vote for Ted Cruz, Tim Huelskamp will run over you with a tractor.
Whoa nellie, hold the fort. Hey dude....I don’t want a rock solid conservative I want somebody who kicks butt an takes names . I live in Marco Rubio country and he was “supposed” to be conservative. Yes TED is conservative but right now I want Trump to shake up the GOPe and get America back on track. Then we can bring in some conservatives to get us back on that course again.
No more. No less
This is not about party loyalty this is about saving the Republic IMHO.
Freegards and Trump hurrahs!

Word has gone out to stop calling Cruz ‘original intent’ of the Constitution, conservative.... My how the mighty fall.
Finally! I’ve been wondering who would get the Huelskamp endorsement!
How soon we forget.
This caucus also propped up Paul Ryan and sold us out. Stop confusing lobbyist run ‘tea parties’ with the grass roots. Jenny Beth Martin of TeaPartyPatriots is getting $400,000 a year to endorse Cruz.

Tim Huelskamp also voted for Paul Ryan to be Speaker of the House.
Zero credibility.
Some conservatives will back liberal Trump because they want to see the country burn
While the Tea Party was fighting and running candidates against the establishment back in 2010 and 2012, and trying to take out Mitch McConnell in 2014. Trump was donating to the very people the Tea Party was trying to get rid of.
So called Tea Party leaders have been getting bought off from the start. Anyone who calls themself a Tea Party leader is a fraud.
The problem with KS is it’s still enamored with Bob Dole.
It dawned on me yesterday specifically who all these endorsements have had no impact.
Actually, I was wrong. They were having serious impact . . . against Cruz. If you look at the Quinnipiac Poll yesterday, and get into the internals, Cruz leads Trump on “experience” “honesty” and “shares Republican values.” Not big leads, but leads. So why is Trump up 2:1 over Cruz?
You find the answer in the question “who is most likely to change Washington?”
Trump 60, Cruz 16. Now the endorsements stuff makes sense. The endorsements are KILLING CRUZ because they are tying him more and more to “Washington,” as an insider. The is specifically why he is losing.
Sometimes you have to do a little digging, but it’s right there.
And under the bus goes the TEA Party Caucus.
Funny how Trump**ts will extend their disdain to anyone who endorses Cruz.
Tim Who? Probably a RINO piece of trash.
Oh well, seeing the kinds they have endorsed lately, I’d figure to avoid him even more.
