Eating with family and someone mentioned they liked Cruz but won't vote for him because he supports a VAT tax.

I can't imagine a conservative supporting the VAT tax. It would cause the price of goods to be taxed at every level of production and could cause prices to skyrocket.

David, I'm bumping this post for more clarity on this issue.

Fox Business Host Maria Bartiromo explains why she likes Ted Cruz’s tax plan THE BEST

Maria brings up the noise regarding the VAT tax, but in the second clip on this link, Ted Cruz explains in the SC debate that it is not a European style "Sales tax", but a simple "Business flat tax". That Tax Foundation agrees with Ted on this.

No, I am here online with people who are there bringing in reports. We are doing the online work while others are on the ground. I also have Cruz's app on my phone to receive any alerts and newsfeed.

Sarah, This is hilarious. Saw someone Tweet, referring to Carson going home to get some clean clothes:

"Whatever Carson wears Wednesday, it better be dope. You can't skip a day on the trail to get fresh clothes and then not look 100%."


LOL!

Oh my gosh, I love politics!!!

Thanks, jfrog! It's a grassroots effort, and he's a great candidate for it.

Id like Morris to be right, but after he all but gauranteed a runaway win for Romney in the 2012 general election, i have a hard time taking his opinion seriously.

I don't put a lot of stock in anything Morris says. I'm surprised he is trying this again after he looked so foolish over the Romney loss, but a broken clock can be right at least twice a day. LOL!

Aside from that, there feels like solid strength with the Cruz campaign that the media knows but ignores.

The way I see it - Cruz stays calm, he stays focused, he stays on the issues and he speaks to everyone at his town halls - answers the hard questions -making the stipulation that you have to dialogue intelligently, no yelling or interrupting.

I also notice that when he is interviewed, the journalists listen to him and you can feel an underlying respect. That's just something that I sense.

For me as a supporter, I am not worried he will have a bad moment when a debate comes up or when I know he will be interviewed. He's solid. And I know that any negative thing we are hit with, there is solid truth to back him up. All the other stuff is baseless smoke and baseless distraction.

The average American, IMO, finds appeal in that.

Look at how Cruz engages with this angry farmer on the ethanol subsidy issue. The man is angry, against Cruz, and at the end he says he hopes he gets the farmer's votes. It's solid. (video embed)

First on CNN: Ted Cruz apologizes to Ben Carson


Cruz said in a statement Tuesday that his campaign staff saw a CNN report that Carson was dropping out, although CNN had not characterized Carson's actions that way.

"Last night when our political team saw the CNN post saying that Dr. Carson was not carrying on to New Hampshire and South Carolina, our campaign updated grassroots leaders just as we would with any breaking news story," Cruz said in a statement first shared with CNN. "That's fair game. What the team then should have done was send around the follow-up statement from the Carson campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race when that came out."

And here is CNN's Jake Tapper and his sidekick putting out the story 10 MINUTES BEFORE CAUCUS TIME. CNN of course, wants others to take the blame.
