To take the White House in 2016 Republicans must nominate a candidate who we know will govern according to constitutional principles, who is capable of drawing a clear contrast with Hillary Clinton and the Democrats on the issues of importance in today’s political environment, and who has the brains, talent and discipline to fight Hillary Clinton and win. That candidate is Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. Read the original
Ted Cruz has been building momentum in several key states lately, and seems to be benefiting, especially amongst evangelicals, from the decline of Ben Carson’s poll numbers.
Over at GraniteGrok.com, this morning, Steve noted that, “Cruz is in the best position to win Iowa right now and if he gets the Vander Platts endorsement he will own Iowa.”
Make it so, Mr Cruz, Make it so…….
HOUSTON, Texas — Bob Vander Plaats, President and CEO of the FAMiLY LEADER, today announced his endorsement of Ted Cruz for President. The influential conservative leader, who has lent his support to the last two winners of the Iowa Caucus, is considered by many to be a key endorsement amongst Iowa Caucus goers, particularly with evangelicals and strong conservatives.
According to Vander Plaats, “Today is the culmination of a months long process that was deliberative, intensive, and covered in prayer from start to finish. I am confident that Ted Cruz is the right man for the job, and look forward to working with Iowans in every corner of the state to help him win the Iowa Caucus on February 1st.”
Slowly, slowly, catchee Trumpee – Cruz is building momentum the old-fashioned way!
We have previously mentioned Cruz’ superior organizing and fundraising skills, coupled with a low cash burn rate – now, the results of that effort are beginning to scare the Establishment and other campaigns.
He has more cash than any other Republican candidate. He is organized in every county in the first four voting states. And he has served up one strong debate performance after the next.
Thanks to all of you who came out on a rainy November morning, there was a heckuva turnout for Ted Cruz’ filing at the State House this week, and a couple of history lessons, too – I like the way Secretary Gardner did not just deliver his usual short history of the First In The Nation primary, but also referenced an earlier visit by Rafael Cruz, talked about Ted’s senior thesis, and showed a copy of NH’s first proposed amendment to the US Constitution – which became the TENTH Amendment!
One of my regular weekend programs is the Wall Street Journal Editorial Report with Paul Gigot, and a panel of their top editorial staff.
Last weekend, they discussed the CNBC GOP debate, and noted the shrewd approach of Ted Cruz – tapping into the anger of the conservative base without going after his rivals directly…
Whither, not wither! Dear Members, there’s work to be done – we’re in it for the long haul, and we hope you’ll join us in our journey.
First and foremost, as the immediate followup to the Grassroots Presidential Selection Caucus on Oct 17th, we are pledged to support Senator Cruz in his bid for the White House – thus far, he’s proving to be an excellent campaigner, a fiery debater, and great at raising and managing money.
We encourage all the caucus-goers to rally behind Ted Cruz and to take a leaf from Gov Sununu’s book to “talk, talk, talk” to your friends and neighbors about how Senator Cruz is the real deal, and how he will win this race with hard work, steady fundraising, our help, and God willing.
You. Picked. Wisely 🙂
But what else will the Alliance be doing?
From now until February, the big push is to get the Alliance’s pick through the NH primary. But that’s not all, folks….
