Ted Cruz calls out GOP for firing 'every shot they can' at him
BARNSTEAD, N.H. — Ted Cruz took what he admitted were “cannon” shots on two fronts yesterday — Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin endorsed his chief rival, Donald Trump, in Iowa, and the state’s Republican governor, Terry Branstad, said he wants to see the Texas U.S. senator defeated.
“It’s no surprise the establishment is in full panic mode,” Cruz told reporters outside the White Buffalo Trading Post on the third day of his New Hampshire bus tour, referring to Branstad’s comments.
“We said from the beginning the Washington cartel was going to panic more and more,” he said. “As conservatives unite around our campaign, you’re going to see the Washington cartel firing every shot they can, every cannon they can.”
Cruz was forced to cancel two of his four scheduled Granite State campaign events today to fly back to Washington, D.C., for an immigration vote — something former New Hampshire U.S. Sen. Bob Smith, who’s backing Cruz, lamented as another attempt by establishment Republicans to slow his momentum.
