| | | Awfully quiet today.....could it be that your fair haired boy got his ass stomped because he's not as smart as you think he is.
Not at all, TC, on either count (quiet day, or Cruz not being ‘smart’).
Spent the morning in Hershey, PA listening to among the most passionate speeches I have ever heard, delivered by a man who is the first man to come along in almost thirty years who may prove fully capable of filling Ronald Reagan’s shoes. And spent this early evening in Lebanon, PA at a meet and greet with Carly Fiorina, one of the most principled women in America today, entirely devoted to the restoration of the American vision, and unwilling to line up behind those who prefer to base their political endorsements on either empty promises or the bandwagon effect.
I have been campaigning for Ted Cruz here in Pennsylvania for almost four weeks now, and intend to continue to do so until next Tuesday’s primary. No, I harbor no pie-in-the-sky belief that Ted will win the popular vote in the Pennsylvania primary, but I believe he will garner a respectable number of Pennsylvania delegates through a combination of faithful, well-organized grassroots support, honest and tireless campaigning, a knowledge of and willingness to abide by, and work hard within the boundaries of, the primary rules established by each individual state, and a genuine love of, and dedication to, the U.S. Constitution and our Founders’ vision.
Over these weeks I have rubbed elbows with hundreds of Cruz supporters here in Pennsylvania, both in the homes I have visited and in speaking and working with fellow volunteers. Contrary to what you seem to believe, being a Cruz supporter is anything but a ‘downer’ (just ask those who regularly post on this very forum), even after losses such as he experienced in New York yesterday. Knowing that we are supporting a man of his caliber, who has the potential to reclaim our republic from the scoundrels who have been at the helm for so long, is incredibly uplifting.
If Ted is successful in winning the republican nomination (presumably on the second or third ballot in Cleveland), we will redouble our efforts in looking ahead to November. If he is not successful in his bid for the nomination, we will simply re-group and search our hearts for how best to proceed in doing what we can to see to it that Hillary Clinton never takes up residence in the White House.
An aside: Donald Trump won sixty percent of the popular vote in New York yesterday, yet took home ninety-five percent of the delegates. I have not been able to listen to the news at all today. Please fill me in on how vehemently he was tearing apart the ‘undemocratic’ primary process in New York, in that the percentage of delegates he won was a full fifty-plus percent more than the percentage of the popular vote that he won. He had to be screaming about the ‘rigged, 100% crooked’ unfairness, right? |
