Sen. Ted Cruz has been poaching Sen. Rand Paul’s “libertarian supporters since last January, when the Texas senator touched down in Iowa for a forum organized by Rep. Steve King (R-IA),” National Review reports.
“The first thing Cruz did on that trip — before visiting with King or any of the state’s evangelical leaders — was stop at the Holiday Inn by the airport for a private roundtable discussion with Iowa’s ‘liberty’ leaders. In the eleven months since, Cruz has made significant inroads with this constituency — the one Ron Paul created, and Rand Paul had counted on as the backbone of his campaign.”
