Sarah Palin had little to nothing to do with Ted Cruz winning in Texas. He had broad support all over the state and none of that had ANYTHING to do with Sarah Palin. I was a Cruz supporter and can assure you that Palin had little to do in the scheme of things with Cruz winning.
Texas sized GOP U.S. Senate Nomination captured by Cruz - Shows Palin Power
ELECTION 2012AUGUST 1, 2012
“”The anointed Texas political establishment contender, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, was leading in the GOP runoff race to capture the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. He had a who’s who list of solid republican mainstream backers. Most state and national election experts had already inked Dewhurst into the senatorial win column.
Yet, in the conservative voter trenches of Texas, the real who ’s who that truly counted was the voters and a Tea Party movement that would not say die or give up. In their corner was the former Alaskan Governor named Sarah “I’m Not Afraid to Fight” Palin. Palin endorsed Ted Cruz, and Ted Cruz won! Boy did he win.
But that is not the whole story. GOP insider politics in Texas had Dewhurst leading comfortably. In fact, in one corner of the political ring was Dewhurst, and the royalty of Texas politics who came out in a big way for the 66-year-old Dewhurst. The Lt. Governor even loaned $24 million from his fortune to his campaign to insure his win.””
“In a Republican primary, everyone claims to be conservative and voters are pretty cynical. They are tired of these candidates that sounds great on the stump. They say they are going to cut spending, they get into the office and they become spineless jellyfish,” Cruz said. “I think conservatives trust Sarah Palin that if she says this guy is a conservative, that he is a real deal.”
AND TED CRUZ IS A LIAR! LOLOL! OF COURSE, PALIN DID NOTHING BUT _____ . Whatever you say, man. You’re CK and Rove in your own right.
