Cruz telling the left (the professor is liberal) to kiss his a$$.
He’s also telling all those conservatives who itch-bay about the way things but don’t vote regularly to get off their butts and vote.

And tonight, Teddy doubled down on this, refusing to offer any apologies.

And what’s worse, they just make the voting records up out of thin air. My... My... My.

From a comment below the article-

“Donna Holstein, who was listed on one of them, was upset to learn that she had been given a failing grade and that her neighbors might be told whether she participates in the caucus. She told me that she has voted consistently but that she can’t this time because of a disability.”

“I’m crippled, so I can’t go to the caucus,” Holstein said. She was not happy about being shamed in front of her neighbors. “That’s what you call a bully,” she said about Cruz’s tactics. ‘I wish he would quit.”

Way to intimidate old ladies, Ted, you creep.

That information is maintained by the secretary of state, which licenses it to campaigns, super PACs, polling firms, and any other entity that might want it.

So if the Iowa SOS office 'licensed' (what's the fee?) crappy information, then the mailers had crappy information.

With the Iowa Governor calling to 'beat cruz, whatever it takes' would the SOS office maybe have a data problem? Ya think?

The topic does not stop tomorrow in Iowa. Cruz will be forced to explain this in each state going forward.

Ted Cruz Sent "Voter Shaming Letter" To Iowa Professor of Political Science and the recipient eviscerates Cruz's campaign claim in an article via the New Yorker:
That's interesting. A Cruz supporter has seen this done in "thousands of campaigns" said it was brilliant because they were mailed Friday...too late to do anything about it.
This could be what gives Cruz the huge victory everyone is already expecting.

Will it hurt Cruz. Nope, because last minute mailers never hurt the one doing them.

The reason? Because being dropped on Friday, there is no time to respond. And nothing works so good as mailers do.

The reason it is stupid is because Cruz believes he can shame people into voting for him.

The reason it is scary is because Cruz thinks shame is a viable campaign strategy. Coincident with his ‘body of Christ’ comments, the creep factor is off the scale.

We shouldn't be too hard on tin-eared Teddie. We will miss him after tonight.

Buh bye, Teddie. Say hello to Goldman Sachs for us.
