How Ted Cruz’s digital team wants to win the Internet in 2016
MSNBC ^ | 05/09/15 | Nisha Chittal

When Ted Cruz went to Washington, Josh Perry came along for the ride – literally.

Perry, now 27, was taken by the Texas Republican while a student at the University of Texas. After a stint as an intern, Perry joined Cruz’s 2012 Senate campaign in the dual role of chauffeur and social media manager. Six months later, after Perry got into a fender-bender, he left the driving behind and focused on creating Cruz’s social media identity.

If he wants to win the Internet he had better rein in the Cruz-Bruisers that prowl around the forums and try to bully people into voting Cruz. It won’t work. Cruz can sell himself without those behind the scenes bully tactics.

It really bothers the Walker sycophants who can’t grasp that he is lying to them, and that backing a liar is no better within the Conservative ranks, than it is from the Obama ranks.

Give them a link to the man himself lying, and they go into denial and think everyone is trying to persecute them.

God I get sick of these idiots every four years.

Walker did not change his immigration policy, and it would take 25 years for his reduction of legal immigration to zero, to match the 30 million he is willing let pay a fine and stay now.

Duh!

I criticize Cruz if I think he deserves it. I have done it a number of times here.

The Walker folks can’t even be honest with themselves, let alone anyone else.

I imagine Team Cruz is not the least bit aware of, nor concerned about, your imaginary friends.

Fantastic. Cruz isn’t a relic who believes social media is inconsequential. He understands its importance in reaching people and winning elections, and he’s going to take full advantage of it.

Yeah, we Cruz Bruizers are taking remote control of their PCs and forcing them to click on Cruz threads. We’re busted!

Cruz was Twittering furiously about an hour ago. He does that a lot. Oops. There goes another one.

“Take the bus and leave the driving to us” - why did that phrase occur to me?

They may not be concerned. Doesn’t mean they should not be concerned. Just saying. So-called supporters can do a lot of damage. It is the same principle as the so-called supporters of justice for Gray in Baltimore. Thuggery impresses no one except other thugs.

The Cruz campaign mentioned in a teleconference a few days ago their plans to offer live-streaming video of most campaign events via twitter.com/@tedcruz when C-SPAN and others don't cover them. That is the Periscope live-streaming app mentioned in this article.

The data analytics operation in the Cruz campaign is truly awesome. I've read they have 10 staffers who hold PhDs in behavioral science or analytics. They analyze social media activity, twitter, and hits on the website to direct Internet-based advertising, email, texts, etc. to groups and individuals where it has the greatest impact to produce the desired result.

Rest assured, this is a high-tech campaign with some very savvy personnel. In his primary election race for U.S. Senate, besides the obvious intelligence and integrity of the candidate, there was technology and knowledge behind the scenes that propelled Cruz beginning from 2% in the polls to eventually defeating his opponent 57% to 43%. It has grown substantially more sophisticated for his presidential run.
