Cruz enters debate after big victory but on defensive about winning tactics

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

Ted Cruz would like to ride the momentum of his Iowa victory through Saturday night’s GOP presidential debate, but the Texas senator will likely have to instead spend time answering questions about his campaign’s questionable Iowa Caucus-night tactics and its integrity.

 

Cruz has faced a steady stream of criticism from fellow primary candidates Donald Trump and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, whom the Cruz campaign suggested was dropping out of the race after Iowa, in an apparent effort to snag his trove of social conservative votes.

 

Cruz, Carson and Trump, the billionaire businessman and GOP national front-runner, will be joined on stage at the ABC debate at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

 

After poor showings in the Iowa Caucus on Tuesday, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee suspended their campaigns.

 

Ex Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina and former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore failed to qualify for the debate.
