HUGE: Ted Cruz Earns FOUR Critical California Endorsements!
Red State ^ | April 22, 2016 | Caleb Howe

Posted on 04/22/2016 5:50:51 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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.

“One of the biggest flameouts in political history”

Don’t forget Rubio .. same resume ... first term Senator, immediately uses Senate to build his Presidential creds, mask ripped off by Trump, soon to be looking for a job.

CA republican here: The GOP undermined the anti-illegal movement in this state almost as much as the courts and the Dems. Not surprising they support “give the illegals Teddy Bears” Cruz. Screw them.

I sure don’t want to vote for his reelection. I hope we can field someone good against him (or, better yet, he slinks away for good).

The CA GOP is a corrupt whore and has been for at least 20 years.

And every Republican here knows it.

This harms Cruz.

In an open letter released Friday, Mr. Hamm said Mr. Trump wouldn’t be “beholden to special interests and has the fortitude to make tough decisions,” largely because of his business background. In two different places in the roughly 260-word letter viewed by The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Hamm went out of his way to say that he wasn’t solicited to make the endorsement and that he wasn’t endorsing Mr. Trump simply because of a lack of other candidates, such as Mr. Rubio.

“Donald Trump is not my last choice, he is the best choice and I am proud to announce my support today,” Mr. Hamm said.
