CALLER: Rush, the reason for my call is I wanted to ask if you saw -- it was up on Drudge earlier -- where Cruz had referred to Trump supporters, borrowing a term from you, as "low information."
CALLER: So, as a Trump supporter, just to put it out there, you know, for me at this point, I kind of had two issues watching Cruz. Up until now, I've heard him lecture a lot about, you know, what's a real conservative and what does it mean to be a real conservative, and he lectures there, and I'm looking at, you know, the discharge papers on my wall from the US Army. I'm looking at my time in the private sector. It says, "Hey, I think he knows what it means to be a conservative," number one, and now he just calls me dumb. So here's my recommendation to Ted Cruz, and I think he can take a note from a guy like Donald Trump. You want my vote, Ted? Earn it.
Trump is out there as a leader earning votes. Cruz is out there trying to make me feel like I do or don't qualify for his definition of what it means to be a conservative, and, at the same time, stealing a page from your playbook about Democrats calling me, a Republican, dumb. Not the way to earn my vote, Ted.

Dear Sen. Cruz, remember when Gov. Romney insulted 47% of the American voters? How smart was that?
And don’t forget his papa saying that evangelicals who vote for Trump aren’t “Christians”.
Exactly.
Cruz must be taking direction from the Bush contingent that has joined his team.
The caller is dumb if he doesn’t understand what Cruz was saying
How stupid are the people of Iowa?
“You want my vote, Ted? Earn it.”
Oh please. This guy was never open to voting for Cruz.
Regardless. Cruz better get ahead of this story because I noticed it is going viral. It is up to Cruz to stop it. Well see if he cares enough.
So Rush is right about one thing: Trump supporters are not going to switch to support Cruz. Regardless of how many times the same crap is posted on FR by the same people.
“Trump is out there as a leader earning votes.”
Let’s not pretend there hasn’t been some very un-leader like crap going on with all of these candidates on both sides.
This is not the campaign I’d like a kid to be participating in for the first time on either side, either. This election cycle sucks and we are not even hit bottom yet.
Crusty will simply act like he didn’t say it, or he’ll say he misspoke. IMO, he slipped up and said what he was really thinking instead of what his dad had written in his sermon. Ooops.
Who joined whose team?
You’re full of it.
Cruz, “Where we are beating him is when voters get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize his record.”

Rewrite, “Where I’m losing, is when voters get more engaged and they get more informed. When they inform themselves, they realize my deep GOPe connections”
I was.
Now I am not.
But Cruz only insulted about 35% of republicans...
Trump never said the people of Iowa are stupid.
