An Iowa man said this week that he was invited to a Republican focus group and then was kicked out because he threatened to leave the party if Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was picked as the 2016 presidential nominee.
On the Wednesday episode of WMURs On Point radio program, a caller from Sioux City named Tom said that he had firsthand experience with the Republican senators grassroots support in Iowa.
These guys do not suffer dissension well, Tom pointed out, explaining that he had recently been invited to a Republican focus group in Sioux City. There was about 10 of us in the room, he recalled. And at one point we were talking about electability of candidates. And I just said that I think Sen. Cruz is way to meat-cleavery hes going to take a meat cleaver to all the social programs, do away with Medicare, Obamacare, I mean, everything.
Tom said that he ended his remarks by saying that he would leave the party if Republicans selected Cruz as the presidential nominee.
At that point the moderator said lets take a short break. And then about 10 seconds after that, the guy thats running the program came in and tapped me on the shoulder and said, Can you follow me out into the hall for a second and bring your stuff with you, Tom continued. He threw me out. And so what they want to do is they just want to preach the Gospel. You talk about a revival.

(60,334 posts)I have been at multiple events where President Obama spoke and was interrupted. Each time he stopped speaking and gave them a chance to speak their mind.
Republicans only tolerate those who agree with them.
