OK. WOW. Grassroots and Cruz? Yikes. No, that is not a thing that comes to mind at all.
” to require that they say they were supporters on entry” for Trump rallys? Yes, they had to start doing that because of the PROTESTERS. It is a legal thing. It has been public knowledge for quite a while now. Look it up. But if you refuse to do so, get back to me and I will explain it to you.
Trump does not spam his supporters with donation requests. Check into it.
You can think of the small Cruz turnouts as “one on one” rallys, but I imagine that Cruz would give his back teeth for crowds like Trump gets EVERY time.
It is what it is. I am not trying to insult anyone. Nor am I trying to advance Trump. He does not need that from me. His base is massive and growing. It is surprising in one sense, but in another it is quite understandable.
This campaign season has been fascinating.
Trump doesn't ask for donations because as he's stated his self funding will be payed back, ( that he's “Borrowed” from himself as he said), by the general election funds which he will accept donations to if he wins the primary. He's very good at slipping things by his supporters and at varying times so that he can say he did tell you...because he knows they only really listen to what they want to hear him say rather then “think” through the world salads he feeds them.
No ...Cruz turnouts were never intended to be rallying points.....rather informing the people and taking their questions from his audience as one would in a Town Hall meeting....and there was a two-fold purpose in that..... Win or lose this election Cruz's plans were going to inform the people so they understood the entire climate of Washington, why it's broken and what needs to be done to fix it...and he has done just that from the beginning...actually even before he began his run.
His filibuster in 2014 was to inform the public of how Washington works ,and why it wasn't, in laymans terms.....the press nor the Elite politicians would give him what is generally given to express this to the public at large.....the filibuster worked to get the public aware and informed. Many listened and more than a little impressed with all that he shared....
His run , aside from the Presidency, continues that via his ground campaign....Trumps been feeding off Trumps position on the issues long ‘before’ he announced in order to determine what he needed to say to convince the public he was conservative enough to run in the Republican Party....because the Demorates refused him...they knew who he was and about and did not want his representing them. Bill Clinton actually encouraged him to run.
I've been in Cruz's court long before he announced and did hours of research on the man and his history and positions.....because this year NOBODY in the media nor politician was going to tell me how to vote or read these candidates....and I wasn't about to join any Cukt of personality mass movement as Obama hatched and carried through.
So here we are and I will stay with Cruz to whatever end this election brings until we have a nominee. The game is “Theirs” to play and maneuver in.
