Let’s Stop Ted Cruz’s Dirty Tricks

This 2016 presidential race is getting ugly and thousands of Republicans across the country are getting angry about it.

President Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment, which declares that “thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican,” has inspired a spirit of unity and respectfulness within intra-party contests for decades, a spirit that reflects our beliefs about the way our party should operate.

But the 2016 presidential cycle has so far demonstrated a disturbing break from President Reagan’s wise words, featuring dishonest tactics and outright lies about fellow candidates, specifically (but not limited to) the convenient lie Ted Cruz told to Iowa voters that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race just before voting in caucuses began.

Now, Ted and his partners are up to their shady tricks again in South Carolina. Voters across the nation are exhausTED by these games. It is time to raise your voice to make sure Cruz is defeaTED, and put an end to Ted Cruz’s dishonest tactics.

The GOP needs to rise above these dirty games.
