Hey Iowa! You Can Meet Senator Ted Cruz For 25 Percent Off!

If you live in Iowa and you’ve ever wanted to meet Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for a price that fits your budget, then you’re in luck, because ticket prices for his appearance at the Iowa Republican Party Reagan Dinner are now 25 percent off. ?What a deal!

Less than one year into his U.S. Senate tenure,?Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)?has done his share of appearances on a national platform.

Among the items on the docket is an Oct. 25 speech at the?Iowa Republican Party’s Reagan Dinner. With less than six weeks between now and the event, the?Iowa Republican?caught an ad showcasing 25 percent savings for folks interested in seeing Cruz.

Standing as a conservative news source for the Hawkeye State, the Iowa Republican’s piece questioned whether the discount was a case of “lessened” demand for Cruz. More than three years away from the 2016 presidential election, the Tea Party favorite has made?multiple trips to the state?this summer, including an encounter with protesters at GOP headquarters in Des Moines.

The RUN reports that the?Iowa Republican Party?said otherwise regarding Cruz fatigue, contending that the ticket discount is part of a marketing strategy to explore different demographics and save donors money.

?You would think a ?Republican? blog would cheer when the state GOP is putting systems in place that saves its donors money by allowing more funds to go towards programs and electing Republicans, as opposed to overhead and expenses,” Iowa GOP Executive Director Steve Bierfeldt told The RUN.

The Cruz ticket discount comes days after billionaire?GOP donor Sheldon Adelsonadmitted Cruz was not the first name to come to mind as a 2016 Republican presidential contender. In an interview with National Journal published Thursday, Adelson listed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) as possibilities, but not Cruz.

“I didn’t even know Ted Cruz was potentially a candidate until somebody pointed it out to me the other day,” Adelson said.

?But of course, this has nothing to do with running for president in 2016. ?Not at all. ?Which is good, because according to Ted Cruz, he would stack the Senate with openly proud racists like Jesse Helms.
