My Exclusive Interview with Senator Ted Cruz after winning the 603 Alliance Caucus in NH

Sen­a­tor Ted Cruz was kind enough to give me 10 min­utes after his return to the 603 Alliance Cau­cus site to speak to and con­grat­u­late his cam­paign volunteers

There are sev­eral points to make con­cern­ing this result and what Sen­a­tor Cruz said.

It would have taken the cost of rent­ing a bus for any other can­di­date to get 25 NH vot­ers to the cau­cus to get past the first round and to steer the result in a direc­tion they would have liked.

There are a lot of expenses in a cam­paign but rent­ing a few busses for a day isn’t a big one, if you can’t find 25 reg­is­tered repub­li­can vot­ers will­ing give up a few hours to show up for you at this cau­cus what does it say about your actual strength in a state? Jeb Bush has been run­ning ads call­ing him­self “the con­ser­v­a­tive can­di­date”, how much stronger would such an argu­ment be if he man­aged to draw 25 vot­ers. He could have claimed to have out one Don­ald Trump in an actual vote. (By the same token I don’t under­stand how the Don­ald Trump cam­paign doesn’t man­age to get 25 folks to show up. Rep Al made a strong speech but this feeds right into the MSM tem­plate on the Donald.

As Mark Steyn has said the future belongs to those who show up, if you can’t get vot­ers to show up for you to a no cost event out of an entire state when you’ve had six months to get ready, that’s bad.

Fur­ther­more if you are a can­di­date in sin­gle dig­its how do you not take advan­tage of such an event to make a show­ing? Even if your can­di­date couldn’t draw enough to win your peo­ple could have steered the result away from a can­di­date you DIDN’T want to win.

Now let’s talk about WHY Cruz won.

Ted Cruz talked about his coun­try chair­men in every county of all four early states and his donors his “sus­tain­ers” fund­ing all on the ground game in 20 pri­mary states, rent staff etc…

I don’t think any other can­di­date can say this, why? Because CRUZ FIGHTS! His will­ing­ness to stand up, make the fight and take the barbs of the media for years is the rea­son why so many peo­ple are will­ing to give monthly, it’s the rea­son why he leads in hard money and it’s the rea­son why his peo­ple were will­ing to show up to cau­cus for him yes­ter­day. It’s also the rea­son why I endorsed him Sept 30th

Every sin­gle other can­di­date cur­rently serv­ing in con­gress could have cho­sen to do this. Every sin­gle other sit­ting gov­er­nor could have sup­ported Cruz’s fights in con­gress when he was mak­ing them, every sin­gle out­sider could have stood up and stood with Sen­a­tor Cruz as he fought for the causes that con­ser­v­a­tives sent him and other repub­li­cans to fight.

They did not and that’s one of the rea­sons why they were not the sub­ject of that vic­tory interview.

Update: Between Sen­a­tor Cruz’s open­ing speech at the 603 alliance and the inter­view above, Ted Cruz did this inter­view linked by Legal insur­rec­tion for Meet the Press

***********************************************

I do all of this in a 17 year old car with 130,000 miles on it, a $100 cam­era and some bat­ter­ies. The only pay I get for this work comes from you. My goal for all of 2015 is $22,000.

That’s a lot less than the mil­lions that Sen­a­tor Cruz has raised but I don’t have 300K donors

How­ever if just 300 peo­ple kicked in 100 bucks I’d have my goal for the year cov­ered my cur­rent debts paid and might even be able to get on the road out of the state to cover other events.
