Ted Cruz: ‘We can shock the political world’
The Washington Times' Inside The Beltway ^ | January 25, 2016 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 01/25/2016 8:13:22 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

It is an old-fashioned, bodacious campaign blitz. Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz has multiple events in 26 Iowa cities and towns through week's end at a critical time: the next official GOP debate in Des Moines is Thursday, the Iowa caucuses are just six days away. Mr. Cruz is embracing the blitz and has plenty muscle. Campaigning this week with the candidate: Rick Perry, Rep. Steven King and evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaatz -- who have all endorsed the Cruz quest for the White House. The quartet will appear at seven rallies together on Tuesday alone, with stops at a bull ranch, a steak house and a 19th-century historic mansion.

"All across the country, conservatives are coalescing behind Ted, and just days from now, we have the chance to do something remarkable together. We can shock the political world with a victory for Ted in Iowa and begin the march to winning the Republican nomination and taking back the White House," advise campaign organizers.

The Cruzin' To Caucus tour spans a veritable road-trip of Iowa, with visits this week to Maquoketa, Manchester, Independence, Osceola, Albia, Centerville, Bloomfield, Ottumwa, Fairfield, Keosauque, Des Moines, Ringsted, Fenton, Emmetsburg, Wilton, Wapello, Hubbard, Ames, Hamlin, Ida Grove, Sioux City, Iowa City, Davenport, Des Moines, Jefferson and Marion....

Yes. Exactly. He's not my guy, but he's an honorable man.

He diminishes himself by his association with Beck.

Why do so many here want the conservative leader to lose so bad?

They must be closeted backers of Mrs. Bill.

The meanspiritedness has been traumatizing.

Yeah, Glenn Beck said that HE would be the next “Washington”, too. Interesting that Beck always influences and predics losers by his ‘endorsements’.

Santorum had a billonaire backer just like Cruz.

Well, I was certainly shocked to see beck administering the oath of office to cruz. Maybe even more shocked to find out cruz has invited beck back to campaign some more with him.

No. Santorum won Iowa with $22,000 and two mini-vans. I just find it ironic that the first-place finisher got no delegates while the third-place finisher collected three-fourths of the Iowa delegates.

Cruz has an awesome ground game just as he did when he beat DooDooHurst.

Because he is not a conservative leader, hell, he's not even a conservative follower.

Doesn’t look Good For Cruz.... Behind Closed doors Cruz pleads to Pastors to Help stop Trump. Article also mentions Tensions between Cruz, Huckabee , Santorum and Carson, None of whom like Cruz. Huckabee called Cruz a compromising shape-shifter. No one will be helping Cruz. Huck and Santorum supporters will likely jump to Trump if it came down to it.

Interesting how you pulled that one out of some dark stinky orifice. Do you mind telling me the last Presidential candidate that Beck endorsed? Let's at least make an attempt at a modicum of honesty here.

Cruz not only has wealthy PAC supporters but small donors all across the country who’ve given his campaign over $50 million dollars. Sweater Vest didn’t have that, did he?

Huckabee called Cruz a compromising shape-shifter.

Is this the same Huckabee that conspired with John McCain in the 2008 primaries?

Hahahaha! Carson, Paul, Huckabee and Santorum followers have already switched to Cruz in large numbers. Try again.

I very much like CRUZ and I don’t want Beck ruining anything.

I just can’t see a plus side to Beck’s return, unless he’s bringing staff and workers.
