11 minute video only. (Full disclosure: I am not a fan of Ted Cruz and have been one of his fiercest critics.)
Ted gave a rousing speech and was well received by the crowd in Iowa. He was the introductory speaker for Mike Pence at an outdoor event. He stuck almost exclusively to the issues and here are the highlights.
1. 2nd Amendment- Heller decision and importance of SCOTUS.
2. Obamacare disaster for coverage,choice and premiums.
3. IRS abolish it and go with the Flat Tax
4. Hillary's lies and corruption - met with 'lock her up' chants.
5. Radical Islamic terrorism -call it by it's name.
6. Elect Sen. Chuck Grassley & all Republicans on the ticket.
7. Don't let Hillary Clinton get back into the WH & GOTV.
8. But, strangely, no Donald, or Trump name, or words of praise.
A simple- Make America Great Again- would have been good to hear.
The finale, "Please welcome my friend, the next VP of the USA, Mike Pence."
They are campaigning together again in Michigan later today.
Maybe he'd be useful in Wisconsin or Colorado as well.
--> Do not degrade this thread into a rehash of the Primary Process.
Luzer is evil. Trump shouldn’t allow him anywhere near the campaign.
Oh my...the #nevertrumpers prohillary at thebriefingroom will lose their minds over this. Jim did a great job getting them out of here...
Would have been nice to mention the Pres candidate’s name, but if it will helps us get votes, that’s great
It’s the anemia we all hoped had been cured.
In the security world, we called it "Talking around the subject in hopes nobody would figure out what you were really saying".
Glad Ted got out with Pence, who most certainly mentioned Trump many times so it should be of some avail.
Cruz should help a lot in Iowa.

*******************************
Not going there, BUT
I like Ted Cruz as a Senator, but he is not a natural born citizen.
Natural born citizen = born here of citizen parents
No possibility of being anything else
No foreign birth
No foreign parent(s)
No foreign citizenship(s)
Rubio, Jindal, Haley, Cruz and George P Bush are ineligible.
8. But, strangely, no Donald, or Trump name, or words of praise.
Just as I thought. Still playing games. He cannot say Trump’s name.
Prole, Iowa.
Do the people there call themselves Proletarians?
8. But, strangely, no Donald, or Trump name, or words of praise.
Pathetic.
No need to mention Trump’s name. He’s wooing his former supporters and other NeverTrumpers. We want to win this thing, and I trust the messaging is being done with intentionality.
Iowa? Can’t utter Trump’s name? Vintage Ted Cruz. LMAO.

“8. But, strangely, no Donald, or Trump name, or words of praise.”
That says a lot.
Cruz Creep is, as usual, seeking cameras and headlines.
Same routine... to stay relevant.
And desperate to stave off a serious opponent in Texas for Senate. This is about Texas, not help for TRUMP.
Michael McCaul for US Senate (R-TX).

Too much to expect common courtesy and not be deliberately disrespectful? This is no different than Cruz calling Trump “Donald” during the primaries. I suppose we should thank Cruz for not giving another Never Trump green light speech? This is speech is vintage Cruz. It’s all about him. Just like Obama.
Cruz isn’t fit to share the stage with VP Pence. He fell for the Access Hollywood garbage less than a month ago (AFTER the primaries, happy?)
Amen, baby. AAAAmen.
