Interesting isn’t it?

[Patriot Babe]

California is going for Trump =)

Yep good old Teddy an outsider just like Obama is a Christian.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yeah this bodes well. Harriet Myers, next up for Scotus.

[DannyTN]

Hiring and screening people is always difficult, but Trump has so very very much more experience that Cruz and Rubio.

[kempster]

I will never trust this guy.

[goldstategop]

Personnel is policy.

Why would I vote for Cruz?

[VitacoreVision]

Ted Cruz knows how to pick the winners.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

If he is speaking for Cruz, so what? Cruz needs all the support he can get. It is not the other way around. Cruz does not have to agree with him on everything.

Plenty of people support the other candidates without agreeing with them on everything.

[svcw]

So he was the one getting funded by trump them?

[txhurl]

I take it Rush is now for Trump. If Cruz had dragged the Bushes in before TX, I wouldn’t have voted for him.

Candidateless.

[PAR35]

Well, that’s just one person on the campaign. As long as he balances him with outsiders like McCain family members, Bush family members, and big business Fiorina, we know Cruz is not part of the Republican establishment.

Oh, wait a minute. Maybe I need to re-think that statement.

Rod Nehring, the new national spokesman for the Ted Cruz campaign, is a California Republican with a long history involving opposition to the tea party, the employment of illegal immigrants, and advocacy for open borders. His leadership in California drove the state Republican Party into the ground.

Ron Nehring is awful. Brava for speaking up & reporting the painful truth. Cruz needs to cut ties w/this guy ASAP. https://t.co/6wsroY3yY5 — Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) March 9, 2016

As Conservative Review Senior Editor Michelle Malkin wrote in 2009:

“Grass-roots activists have watched state GOP chairman Ron Nehring drive the party into the ground — and spend their money doing it. Nehring is a protege of open-borders, credibility-undermining Grover Norquist. It was under Nehring’s watch that the California GOP hired Norquist’s friend, Michael Kamburowski, to serve as the California Republican Party’s chief operating officer in charge of the multimillion-dollar budget of the nation’s largest state Republican Party — despite being here illegally with no work visa or valid work permit.”

Donald Trump has basically killed off the Tea Party.

The tea party was somewhat effective at electing some candidates, and stalling some government laws, and taxes.

But the Tea Party movement was primarily a Limited Government, Smaller Government, Less Government Regulation, Less Government Spending, Lower national Debt movement.

Trump supports almost none of that effort. His is a different , more populist endeavor. And most of his supporters do not support those original Tea Party principles either.

There should be hell to pay for rejecting the Tea Party Patriots. The “Progressives” in both parties tried to destroy the only coalition that stood up for the middle class.

[nclaurel]

This too will be denied or rationalized away by the followers of Cruz. There is always an excuse when Cruz bends his principles just as happened when Neil Bush and the Bush dynasty came into the Cruz campaign.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

No shortage of creativity when Cruz fans are giving Ted a pass. Just keeps getting worse. If Ted and the GOPe win, Christians and REAL conservatives will be worse off. None so blind as those who double down on dumb.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

"One of those people was Ron Nehring, then-chairman of the California Republican Party and the man who just last week was named Ted Cruz’s new national spokesman." Cruz does things like this and it brings his judgment into question. Either Ted is tone deaf to the base, or he is in opposition to it behind the scenes. I find Cruz to be quite different than his crafted story.

[stratboy]

Expected Cruzer response.
