Whatever innuendo you choose to believe about Ted Cruz, the fact remains ...

Ted Cruz is the only major candidate in my memory who went into Iowa against the Ethanol Mandate when he knew it would hurt him.

The ethanol mandate is one of thousands of examples of DC elites mandating an economical loser on our Country.

Although conventional wisdom was that his view would lose the state, Ted Cruz courageously opposed ethanol, while Trump and everyone else went all-in.

Cruz chose principle over polling! I like that!

The problem with Iowa is that the Cruz camp phoned every single caucus site with the breathless news/lie that Carson was “suspending” his campaign. We’ll never know if the outcome would have been the same sans this vile, underhanded maneuver.

People who think Ted Cruz is a man of principles are in for a hard 2 weeks ahead, if it goes that long

Unfortunately for Ted one of his paramours, Amanda Carpenter, loved Twitter a md her boss, and posted some very revealing tweets over the past 3+ years

PS: she likes sleeping with married men, and in addition to sharing tatts with Ted, posted a rather unfortunate picture of her 2 little kids thanking “ Daddy Cruz” for his hard work as a legislator ... The hits will keep coming

It’s like a train wreck unfolding in slo mo

This charade of an primary election is a joke.The race is such a lopsided win for Trump that it’s ludicrous to suggest otherwise.

Team Cruz is efficient in ferreting out victories in a few caucus states known for their oddball and malleable vote counting methods.
Cruz won:
Virgin Islands by 30 votes
Wyoming by 480 votes
Alaska by 600 votes
Maine by 2,500.

Here are the rounded total votes Cruz won in his 8/9 winning states.

Virgin Isl 200 people
Wyoming 620 people
Alaska 8,400
Maine 8,500
Kansas 35,000
Iowa 52,000
Utah 122,00
Okie 158,000

Ted won eight states totaling 385,000 votes.

If it wasn’t for his Texas win 1,239,393, he’d have nothing but a pile of beans.

This is clearly NOT an appealing candidate in so many ways.
He’s a candidate guaranteed to lose a national election.

Yet one more Cruz Pyrrhic Victory.

No problem. Just mail out thousands of deceptive Voter Bureau identifications... then your chief guy sends a phone message to precinct caucus captains, telling them to tell voters that Carson was suspending his campaign. Even Carson called Ted a liar.

Iowa is irrelevant.

The facts say, Cruz can’t win FL,OH, or VA. he has to win all of them; therefore a vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary.

Trump v Cruz head-to-head actual primary election results for the 3 purple states which are must wins,

|——————Trump v Cruz -——— Trump v Cruz ———— Margin -——|
Ohio ............. 700,464 - 259,694 ... 35.87% - 13.30% ..... +440,770 Trump

Florida ........ 1,079,741 - 404,804 ... 45.72% - 17.14% ..... +647,937 Trump

Virginia ......... 355,961 - 173,191 ... 34.73% - 16.90% ..... +182720 Trump

Oh, gee, that ethanol mandate is really freakin’ important. The world is ablaze and St. Ted of Calgary campaigns like William Jennings Bryan on the holiness ticket, but ethanol . . . yeah, gotta pay attention to ethanol.

And Trump was the only candidate who declared he was going to build a wall, even though he knew it was going to make the GOP hate him, and do everything they could do to take him down.

When Trump made that explosive announcement Cruz immediately went into hiding.

Trump is desperate and his worshippers are desperate.

Trump has gone into hiding, sniveling in his bed in Trump Towers and sinking to more and more lows.

Cruz had it right when he said Trump went into desperation mode when things went wrong for him, as his disastrous remarks on foreign policy.

Naturally, he tries to change the subject to something he’s very familiar with: sleaze and porn.

Was that before or after he sent out deceptive mailers to shame people into voting...and before or after he claimed that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race?

In politics, everything is a calculated move. That one stance means nothing.

McCain did the same. The only time I agreed with him.

“against the Ethanol Mandate when he knew it would hurt him.”

What makes you think he didn’t poll test it first ??
