From The Reporter’s Notebook
Ted Cruz reportedly sent out a mailer telling recipients that it had a “check enclosed,” but the envelope merely contained a request for a campaign contribution. The mailer made headlines, but TPM’s Caitlin MacNeal said it’s not clear that the Texas senator’s tactics will impact his chances. After he sent out mailers to Iowa voters suggesting that they had committed a “voter violation,” he won the Iowa caucus.
BUZZING: Today in the Hive
From a TPM Prime member: “Liberals are supposed to be a bit more analytical than what I’ve been seeing in these anti-HRC posts. I, personally, have been listening to Bernie on talk radio for many years, and I like nearly everything he says. But in political practice, I don’t think a lot of it will work. And if Bernie were nominated, I think the electoral map would look only a little bluer than the McGovern map. But all that aside, PLEASE lets not resort to repug tactics against our own candidates. And, I hope we don’t have repug trolls in the Hive.”
