I don’t have any problem voting for Cruz. However, I do not believe any reporter anywhere, any time.

I’d expect a well thought out plan from a man like Cruz, who is reported to be very intelligent.

I would vote for him. I’d vote for Trump also. I just think Trump has been the one to stir the kettle to the point where others have gained from Trump’s boldness.

Grassroots Swarm... It’s all about peaking at the right time, in the right place - Very different from a big-media populist campaign. And more effective, if you can get it done.

Cruz is showing great leadership with his “impressive” and “sophisticated” campaign as well as an understanding of how to build a team, organize efforts, mobilize a plan, etc.

I like the man and I like what he says. My concern is whether he has the talent to convince enough GOPe dopes to agree with him. Without the support of a unified Republican Party he will accomplish nothing. Then again, nothing is better than the Boehner, Ryan, Roberts sellouts we have come to expect. Inaction maybe be naturally hazardous to the health of Odumbo’s programs and policies.

Here is a take from http://americasvoice.org/ The group that is pro-immigration reform. Their take is that... “The Cruz campaign’s retroactive spin that he was never for a path to legal status doesn’t pass our laugh test.”

Who does the Pro-Immigration people hate most? TRUMP

"And I also think he's in prime position to do very well on Super Tuesday.

"He's the real deal."

Yep. Cruz is the real deal as is his campaign. Leadership in action.

The GOPe is sailing against the wind. They’ve put self interest before public interest. Those angry tea partiers just won’t go away. Now we have Trump.

In his campaign, Cruz has demonstrated he understands the importance of not going through the intermediary of the press or the establishment, but rather going directly to the people. It's the same strategy Reagan employed to accomplish his agenda even with a Democrat-controlled congress. I contend that with the support of the GOPe nothing of value can be accomplished.

From the article: "Cruz, however, cannot spend the next five weeks coasting to a victory in Iowa, observers cautioned."
There's no chance that the Cruz campaign will 'coast' in any regard.

DES MOINES (KWWL) - Republican presidential hopeful and Texas senator Ted Cruz will take to Iowa for a six-day road trip in January.

According to the Des Moines Register, Cruz and his staff are putting the finishing touches on the "Cruzin' to Caucus Iowa Bus Tour" that will take the candidate to 36 Iowa counties from January 4-9.

Ted Cruz will take to the roadways of Iowa for six-day bus tour in January

I've observed and assisted Republican campaigns in Texas for almost two decades, but I've never seen anything like the level of sophistication in the data-driven, focused voter outreach to Get Out the Vote I'm seeing with Cruz in Iowa and other early primary states. My background in Engineering and IT lends some perspective on how well the Cruz campaign is designed to use information wisely and avoid wasted effort. I haven't personally participated in an Iowa caucus before, but I'm excited to be traveling from Texas to Iowa in the first week of January to be among the 2000 volunteers for Cruz.

I read that Iowans would not like out of state volunteers knocking on their doors. Seems if a bad idea the Cruz team would know this.
What do you think? (and thanks for your service)!!!!!

Great Graphic. Certainly a lot more accurate that that trash the idiot stick has been posting for months.
