"It was very brief," said a Rand Paul supporter named Brandon Ross, "something to the effect of, 'Since Ted Cruz has proven that he's a defender of the Constitution, can he count on your vote on Tuesday?' Something like that. I responded that I didn't think that was proven at all, thanked her for the call, and disconnected… how Cruz's Super PAC got my name and that number so quickly? I don't know. But it's definitely creepy."

and what would be the identikit of a potential cruz voter?

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, appear not to have officially sanctioned campaign apps in Apple and Android stores.

Any politician with an (((app))) should be disqualified.

why dont trump use something like this if its so good?

Because he doesn't have to fine tune his flattery to every type of voter imagineable? He has a general message that resonates with a lot of people.

Cruz speaks and acts like a dishonest preacher so that's why he needs this hi-tech data-mining to try to court specific voters in hopes that their support will spread to other voters later.

Reminder that Ted Cruz employs a so-called volunteer named Dan Gabriel, a CIA agent specialized in propaganda who founded a company named Applied Memetics LLC.

Dan Gabriel was likely the one who came up with the dirty tricks used by Cruz against Carson in Iowa. [2nd picture]

And I remember a few weeks ago I'm not sure when exactly I think it was in January there was a thread on Holla Forums clearly made by a butthurt Applied Memetics shill, he kept posting the Vote Trump Get Clinton meme over and over with a photo of a baby with Trump's head. Maybe it was Dan Gabriel himself ?

I don't think it is good though - all it seems to be doing is reinforcing loyalty to Cruz among existing and probable Cruz voters. It's not improving his crossover appeal to Trump/Rubio/Kasich supporters or Democrats that might be inclined to vote Republican

A politician that promises everything to every man like Cruz will end up delivering nothing

Rubio actually had one of the best comebacks to Cruz on abolishing the IRS: "Well, who's gonna collect your VAT tax?" I don't understand how anyone can hear "abolish the IRS" and not stop and say "wut"
