The Iowa secretary of State on Saturday rebuked Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s controversial use of a mailer to encourage turnout at the Feb. 1 caucuses.

He is the Smartest guy in the room

Next to Trump

From the missed Debate on Cruz has crashed

Turned on the 5 and saw Little Miss Bush Perino say that sense the GOP is so close they will come tighter after the primaries?

Gezz Nationally Trump is over 40% and it's close?

There is not an opponent of Ted Cruz anywhere in the world that is not happy to see that headline.

And, he did it to himself. There is nobody to blame but himself.

Not even Mark Twain could think up a story like this. It's up there with the Jumpin' Frog Jubilee of Calavaras County.

And while I disapprove of the mailer, it should be pointed out that Secretary of State Pate is a Trump backer.

No one needs to think of the story because mailers like this have been going out and been reported on for over 10 years.

I hear that the Cruz Campaign Headquarters needs some volunteers in Iowa to help stuff mailers. :)

I disapprove of that mailer too, and believe it should be pointed out that Trump was the one that was supposed to implode.

What a memorable election cycle so far.

Hi, Naps! Thought I’d say ‘hi!’ from one Trump supporter to another.

Awful mailer. I agree with the poster: wait until you see Ted’s NSA!
