Ted Cruz acknowledged Saturday that the attacks by his Republican rival for the party’s presidential nomination, Donald Trump, are “swaying voters” and hurting Cruz’s chances for victory in Monday’s Iowa caucuses.
Cruz made the statement in a desperate sounding fundraising email.
“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I’m emailing you again because you’re one of a trusted few.
“I’ve got less than 36 hours to raise $126,000 or risk letting you and all of the dedicated volunteers in Iowa down.
“The latest polling shows that Donald’s attacks against me are swaying voters, and unless we can hit this goal and give our volunteers the resources they need — we may not turn out enough voters for the Iowa Caucus.”
For liberty,
Ted Cruz
