NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — Texas congressman Louie Gohmert is telling voters the Iowa caucuses may be make-or-break for Sen. Ted Cruz.

Gohmert is campaigning with Cruz on Friday. He told voters in Ringsted, Iowa, that “so many are saying if Ted Cruz doesn’t win the Iowa caucuses, it’s a done deal.”

Gohmert urged those gathered not to support Cruz’s chief rival Donald Trump.

Gohmert is being joined by conservative Iowa congressman Steve King, Cruz’s wife Heidi and wounded veteran Jack Zimmerman on the campaign trail as Monday’s caucuses near.

Zimmerman lost both his legs after stepping on an explosive device when serving in the U.S. Army Afghanistan in 2011.

Cruz, King and Zimmerman all went hunting together in Iowa in October.

Cruz is hitting small, rural Iowa towns as he finishes visits to all 99 counties before the caucuses.

  1. You know you’re harvesting bottom scum when you’re getting endorsed by Gomer Gohmert.

  2. Yes, a true bottom feeder. Yet, if Gohmert said it, the opposite will be true as this loser is always, always wrong! You read it here first.

  3. Ghomert is being challenged in his district by another teabagger and there is some indication that his constituents are finally tired of his act…

    do you suppose he’s angling for the VP slot by supporting sCruz?

    gohmert and steve king in the same room? yikes! the twilight zone will be well represented. their tin-foil hat followers mindlessly nodding their heads.

    Dick Cheney was also invited, but Zimmerman protested, pointing out he'd already taken enough fire for his country.
