Sometimes I wonder about how smart people in Texas are. There must be large numbers of people sitting out elections. How else does someone like Cruz get elected?

I understand it is Trump supporters who are most likely to have not attended caucuses in the past. I think the idea of Cruz's mailer may have been to give them all Fs and thereby piss them off about the whole thing and get THEM to stay home.

Everyone agrees Cruz is clever....

FEAR.

Pretty much the same way any person like him has ever been elected.

What is even more scary is that he can become another Rush Limbaugh and brainwash generations to come and mint money doing it. So when he loses he wins since he will have better name recognition than anyone else in the game and he is better educated than most.

I would be afraid too as to what an evil person like him can do to this country.

Caucus? What ever happened to the secret ballot? The feds should take over the elections as the Constitution provides for them to do so.

Iowa is a strange one, that's for sure.

Cruz is creepy, but you don't have to be creepy to get that sort of reaction from girls of a certain age, to a public hug from the father...let alone a really public hug with a press of media all around.
