You’re welcome, cripplecreek!

Thank you!

Why isn’t Ted generating more support?

[RWGinger]

Wow
He is so so good.
I saw this in March 2011 when he first ran for US senate
He makes us proud.

[cripplecreek]

Because the media is terrified of him. Fortunately he is generating the right kind of support that will be there when it matters.

[RWGinger]

I think he will, when he can get more press.
He is winning over the people who attend his townhalls and rallies in Iowa NH and Sc
I akso think Trump is getting so much press there isn’t much left now
and Trump espouses many of the same goals
The difference is Cruz has always b been con conservative and does do what he says he will do.

Why isn’t Ted generating more support?

Be patient, my FRiend!

Go TED GO!!!! GO BEN CARSON GO!!!!
Either or at this point for me.. .but I LOVE TED CRUZ!!!

[cripplecreek]

I’m guessing that Ted Cruz has actually gotten out and spoken to far more people than anyone else in the race. They aren’t always big events but he speaks somewhere pretty much every day, usually multiple times.

During his week long bus tour in the south he spoke before some 20,000 people. Then he spoke before just as many in Iowa, plus overnight trips to Arizona for the AFP summit, and other religious freedom events.

He’s also got a very solid ground game going. He’s got hundreds of people on his teams in Iowa and NH. He’s running a marathon. From what I’ve heard it looks a lot like his race for the Seante seat he holds now.

[RWGinger]

Exactly!!
The first time I heard Cruz speak was here in Dallas in March 2011, 2 weeks after he announced run for senate. There were 30 people at his rally.

I signed up to work for his campaign and watched him travel to every nook and cranny in Texas. There are a ton of nooks etc here.
The things he promised back then he has lived up to completely. Even when he was bashed for it by RINOs and media.
I hope you will help him win.

I've been on board with Cruz since he announced and that isn't going to change. In fact I went back and studied up on his past. This is a man who knows election law and was on the Bush legal team during the 2000 recount debacle. My personal favorite is his supreme court win of the Medellín v. Texas case. In winning that case he did more for American sovereignty, State Sovereignty, and victims of illegal alien crimes than the entirety of congress has done in the past decade. My state of Michigan has had sanctions against Iran since 2013 as a direct result of that case.

Again, the media is terrified of him for a reason and here lefty Chris Hayes admitted it during the senate race.

In october 2007 I sat in the media gallery of the united states supreme court and watched the solicitor general of texas argue on behalf of the state that he should have the ability to put to death a mexican national, Jose Medellín, who had been convicted of raping and murdering two teenage girls in houston. He won that argument and he (Medellín) was executed by texas on august 5th , 2008 , despite the objections of the united nations and the international court of justice . at the time, I had no idea who this man arguing on behalf of texas was. but all I could think was holy crap , this guy is good. it was one of his nine times arguing before the supreme court and he was witty, incredibly fast on his feet and clearly had a brilliant legal mind. it is to this day one of the most impressive displays i have ever seen before the court and i have had the good fortune to spend a lot of time there. so you can imagine my horror in 2012 when i tuned into the texas senate race. i hadn't been paying much attention to. and realized that lieutenant governor david dewhurst , the republican establishment candidate, was being prepared by a tea party candidate who was the same guy i saw kick ass in the supreme court in 2007 . i thought that night, night i made that connection, oh, this is trouble. and trouble that man has been. trouble in every direction. as he vies to be the singular voice of the right wing grassroots and as he has very quickly assumed a leadership role in movement.

Is Ted Cruz the most dangerous man on the American right?

Whoo~Hoo~!

Go Cruz Go!

[pollywog]

Ditto to being on board with Ted Cruz. That is where our financial support is going right now. Ben Carson would make a good running mate and if some of those who don’t have a chance, such as Huckabee, Scott Walker, etc, would pull out and cast their support for Ted... THAT would help immensely.

I am thinking it’s time we have a BUMPER STICKER campaign...I know for us living in Los Angeles and a highly liberal and Democratic strong hold, bumper stickers are a threat to personal property... but I have been seeing a lot of Bernie Sanders stickers here and feel we must be brave and get the word out any way we can.
A bumper sticker is good advertisement...

[cripplecreek]

I could probably make up something like this for Californians to print out a bumper sticker for yourself. I don't want to take anything away from the campaign by selling them.

[RWGinger]

Ah! You are a true member of Cruz Crew.
Don’t forget that in going against the Fed Govt in the Medellin case he was going against President Bush. But then as now he does what is right and not always what is popular.
I know he is lucky to have you on his side in Michigan.

[RWGinger]

Wow!
That is awesome
can you do one with the tag that came from this New Hampshire townhall we just saw?
The moderator said Ted was running for the right reasons
and I though. YES
Cruz for all the right reasons!

[pollywog]

NICE..........
