"I will apologize to nobody for using every tool we can to encourage Iowa voters to come out and vote," Cruz told reporters in Sioux City, Iowa. He pointed to a statement from one of his supporters here, former Iowa secretary of state Matt Schultz, who said the mailers are "common practice" and are modeled after 2014 mailers put out by the Iowa Republican Party [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 58483529 Germany 01/30/2016 09:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | HARD CORE Cruz supporters are now supporting a Trump presidency. LOL Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70499890 Well, this is a very creepy creepy creepy thing to do, particularly in a state like Iowa. Well, when you think you are going to get the presidency no matter what you do, guess you get sloppy. Like JEB, he needs more money apparently as read an article that said he's already blown through the two bil on luxury hotels and first class flights. It was a little shocking, heck he could have said "I'm not running, cause I'm going to be president no matter what, so I'm going to get a head start and donate my campaign war chest to the national debt, rather than piss it all away." |

furPete'sSake User ID: 71309350 United States 01/30/2016 10:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | maybe cruz's enemies sent it out... pretending it was from him Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68688884 political false flag That's illegal to do that. NO, it's from him, he's such a pompous ass, makes obama look like the humblest man on the planet. Cruz's campaign confirmed that they sent out this despicable letter. I think Cruz is hanging out with Glen Beck too much. Cruz's only hope is to ditch his idiot campaign staff and come to GLP, begging for help. I'm not saying he'll get any, but it's his only hope. :cruzflips: I think he's in the GLP bathroom in a night gown "It's a friendly friendly world" (Andy Kaufman) Calm seas do not a sailor make, Nor easy horses, a horseman.

That's all this letter did. Sent any receiver to the caucuses for trump. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Certain things, they should stay the way they are.

That Iowan official, he's lucky the guy is a republican, cause maybe a dem would have challenged cruise even being allowed to be considered in the caucuses after this stunt. Coupled with the sealing of his records, wondering if that happened after someone here posted the penalties for a non American citizen attaining public office, and a bunch of his campaign workers walking out and being hit with non disclosures, and him quoting scripture all day as if he's trying to make Iowans think he's uber religious cause he must think they are so dumb that's the only criteria that matters to them when picking a president is the guy's faith. This guy has really screwed the pooch. |

Gelatinous Mass User ID: 67046660 United States 01/30/2016 11:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just one more thing for me to dislike about Cruz. As a Christian man who takes his walk seriously, the fact that Cruz is wearing his religion on his sleeve is a massive red flag. Cruz should be walking the walk and let his life speak for itself. The fact that he has to make continual public pronouncements and uses his faith to manipulate leads me to believe it is merely a a tool with which to win votes. Add to this his arrogance with these shaming letters... What an arrogant prick. I will say it again: If TRUMP is not the nominee, I will not even bother to vote in the general election as it would not matter who wins... Nothing will change. I put Cruz, Rubio and the rest on the EXACT same plane as a Democrap. |
