Ted needs a new campaign manager.
Jeff Roe is a slacker.
Phone banks? I’ve seen the cRuz’ previous phone banks....pitiful.
Direct mailers. Has anyone received one? I haven’t.
TV ads? Again...has anyone seen a cRuz campaign ad? I haven’t.
We’ll see what the next couple of months bring.
Despite telling Lyn’ Ted to take a hike, I keep getting spam. The envelopes are just as bad as they were in 2016. Embarrassing that thy haven’t learned.
plenty of time for this.plus in october .trump’s 100,000 rally in dallas brings a route
The GOP generally starts it’s election campaign later then the Democrats.
Have you phone banked?
I did it in both W campaigns. No one answered, even back then. I’m sure it’s worse, now. I tried to organize callers in 2004. No one wanted to call because it is exhausting to go thru so many unanswered calls and the people who did pick up, hang up immediately when the caller identifies themselves. Today, everyone I know ignores the phone and checks the caller ID, first.
Mailers? I look at the expensive glossy, 4-color card stock mailer and toss it. It says good things. Of course it does.
TV? I haven’t had TV for 10 years. I knew they lied then. Most people know they lie now. Who sits through the ads? No one I know.
Radio? CBS spews at the top of the hour on days I listen to Rush. I turn them down, if possible and ignore them if I’m working and can’t reach the remote fast enough.
I vote. I research online. I would not vote for a D if my life was at stake.
I think this above is the problem for the Ds. In my local primary, there was a contest on the D side for State Assembly. The most extreme socialist had door knockers, glossy mailers, and a ton of yard signs. She lost to the moderate who did none of those things. The primary was the second highest participation ever. Even the poll workers were amazed. It was like the 2016 General in turnout on our side.
Best is word-of-mouth. Helping us is the get-in-your-face threats from insane donks. People share those experiences.
Jeff Roe, still with Cruz after his terrible guidance and strategy in 2015-16, is best using a knife in the back of someone. Cruz is stupid to have continued with Roe.
I think Cruz will win, but Roe will hardly deserve any credit.
