Today the Cruz campaign announced the endorsements of former Chairmen of the California Republican Party John S. Herrington and Tirso del Junco. They join former CRP Chairmen Ron Nehring and Michael Schroeder on the Cruz team
From the campaign statement:
“As a member of President Reagan’s cabinet, I’ve seen first-hand how a great leader can change the course of our nation. Ted Cruz is the proven conservative leader our country needs to lead us to prosperity once again,” said Herrington.
John S. Herrington served as President Reagan’s Assistant Secretary of the Navy from 1981-83, Deputy Assistant for Presidential Personnel from 1983-85, and Secretary of Energy for Reagan’s entire second term. Herrington then served as Chairman of the California Republican Party (CRP) from 1995-97.
“I am 100% behind Ted Cruz for President. As a fellow Cuban American, I believe he will lead the country back to the Reagan revolution,” said Del Junco.
All four of them will be delegates for Cruz. If you don’t think that this is a big deal, think again. The support of these California Republicans will not only speak to the voters, it shows that Cruz’s campaign knows the state, knows its Republicans, and knows how to navigate the waters.
As we have seen in every state so far, save for maybe New York, the Trump campaign knows nothing about the politics or the voters or the issues that matter to them. He gets talking points fed to him and he regurgitates them on stage. Ted Cruz knows the actual people. In every state. The way a President should.
This comes after last week’s announcement of the support of 50 current and former California Republican elected officials.
For HIllary. That's who Edward the Third is working for now.
Wow. This is hugh and series.
I know that whenever I’m deciding who to vote for, I ask myself What Would Tirso del Junco Do (WWTdJD) and that’s how I decide.
LOL!
For the record, Sen Ted Cruz is my first choice for the nomination, and like it or not I definitely enjoy Mr Trump’s entry to the race. It’s time we had an outsider in the office - and both of these men are exactly that.When can we expect an update?
Sen Cruz is not owned by the GOPe, but is bound by his faith and our founding documents.
Are you gonna stop posting this nonsense after Trumps inauguration, or are you gonna keep going until 2024?
I've lived in California since 1986 and I never heard of Tirso de Junco. Sounds like a tapa.
And you folks say I'm delusional?
Maybe Cruz and Kasich can combine into one giant Super Loser. They’d still be mathematically eliminated, and they’d still lose to Trump, but it would be closer.
Didn’t he post a few years ago that a natural born citizen had to have two citizen parents and be born in the US? How does he square that with Cruz?
I hope this cuts his 27 point deficit!
Are these establishment hacks that can manipulate the delegate count once Ted loses?
Ted Cruz made a bet that the establishment machine would push him over the top and he bet wrong. This is an anti-establishment year and it was a foolish move to do what he did.

Cruz just doesn't make good decisions. I like a lot of his non globalists positions but his judgment is poor. He'd make an awful president.
OMG!!!
FRANK SHORTZ HAS JUST ENDORSED TED CRUZ!!!!
You remember Frank. Owns the Shortz Brewing Company.
He wants to have a beer summit with Ted. Good Idea!
He has invited Ted to taste his Shortz!!!!!
TAS-TED
Oh, Puh-leeze. Ted Cruz has never worked a real job in his life, and has no clue how real people live their lives. If he had a clue, he wouldn't resort to "government shut-down" every time he doesn't get his way or fails to negotiate a mutually satisfactory agreement. Those government shut-downs affect real, ordinary people, people who can't even be sure they will have a job tomorrow--but did Cruz care about that? No! All he wanted was political theater!
Trump understands real people. He isn't one of those career politicians who cares about the narrative more than people.
yeah but Trump has the enthusiastic support of Johnny Gage, Roy Desoto and the whole Engine 51 gang
Still playing the losing endorsement game. Wonder why 62% of Republicans think he’s an insider?
What a load of crap. Cruz a proven conservative leader? There isn’t any frickin proof.
Did he inherit $100 million dollars from his dad?
