Prezident uchun Kruz

The Ted Kruzning 2016 yilgi prezidentlik kampaniyasi, kichik Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari senatori dan Texas, 2015 yil 23 martda e'lon qilingan edi. U Respublikachilar partiyasining 2016 yilgi prezidentlik nomzodiga nomzod bo'lgan va eng ko'p o'tkazilgan shtat tanlovlari va delegatlar orasida ikkinchi o'rinni egallagan. Kruz o'zining kampaniyasini autsayder va qat'iy konservativ bo'lish atrofida o'tkazdi. Gavjum erta maydonda u etakchi nomzod bilan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri to'qnash kelmaslikni tanladi, Donald Tramp, u ham begona nomzod sifatida qaraldi. Uning Trampga bo'lgan samimiy va hamdard ohanglari kabi raqiblarning tanqidiy yondashuviga zid edi Jeb Bush, Marko Rubio va Rand Pol. Agar Kruz saylanganida edi, u AQShning birinchi Kubalik prezidenti va uning tashqarisida tug'ilgan birinchi AQSh prezidenti bo'lar edi Qo'shma Shtatlar yoki O'n uchta koloniya.

Maydon toraygan sayin Kruzning bahsdagi chiqishlari va kuchli maydon infratuzilmasi tufayli poygadagi o'rni mustahkamlandi. U poyga birinchi tanlovi bo'lgan fevral oyida Ayova shtati kokuslarida g'olib bo'ldi. Ammo maydon torayib, hayotga yaroqsiz nomzodlar tashlanib ketgach, respublikachilarning qo'llab-quvvatlashi Kruzga emas, Tramp atrofida to'plandi. Tramp Kruzni seshanba kuni Super seshanba kuni va undan keyingi dastlabki saylovlarda qo'lga kiritdi. Ayni paytda, poyga asosan Kruz va Tramp o'rtasidagi raqobatga qadar qisqarganligi sababli, ikki nomzod bir-birini ochiq tanqid qila boshladi (ular ilgari samimiy munosabatda bo'lishgan). Tramp bir necha bor Kruzni "Lyin 'Ted" deb atagan va bir safar Kruzning rafiqasining jismoniy qiyofasi bilan bog'liq kamsitilgan tvitni retvit qilgan. Trump shuningdek, bir voqeani parrote qildi National Enquirer Kruzning otasi, Rafael Kruz, ishtirok etgan Prezident Jon F. Kennedining o'ldirilishi. Kruz Trampni "mutlaqo axloqsiz" surunkali yolg'onchi deb atadi va uning asl konservator ekanligidan shubha bildirdi.

Aprel oyi oxirida Trampni delegatlar soniga ko'ra ortda qoldirganida, Kruz o'zining vitse-prezidentlikka nomzodini ilgari ilgari surgan nomzod bo'lishini e'lon qildi Karli Fiorina. Bir hafta o'tgach, u yo'qotdi Indiana shtab-kvartirasi u Trumpni nominatsiyani qo'lga kiritishni to'xtatish uchun muhim deb atagan. Birinchi qurultoy ovoz berishidan oldin delegatlarning ko'pchiligiga ega bo'lish uchun matematik ravishda diskvalifikatsiya qilinganligi sababli, u shu kuni o'zining saylov kampaniyasini to'xtatdi.

Shuningdek, u "o'sish va imkoniyat" so'zlari har bir respublikachi siyosatchining qo'lida tatuirovka qilinishi kerakligini aytdi.[14]

CNBC-dan keyingi bahs

Kruz 2015 yil oktyabr oyida Ayova Respublikachilar partiyasi tomonidan o'tkazilgan tadbirda so'zga chiqdi

Kruz ishtirokchisi edi CNBC 28-oktabr kuni bo'lib o'tgan respublika prezidentining debati. Dastlabki bayonotida u to'g'ri boshqaruvga tayyorligini ta'kidlab o'tdi va keyinchalik munozarada moderatorlarga o'lja savollari berishni yukladi. Kruzning faoliyati yaxshi kutib olindi, chunki u saylovchilar uchun ikkinchi tanlov bo'lish strategiyasini "samarali ifoda etgan", bu unga etarli darajada "chang tozalaganda eng keng qo'llab-quvvatlash bazasini" beradi.[62] Kruz ham bahslarda g'alaba qozongan deb qaraldi.[63] Kruz barcha nomzodlar orasida eng ko'p muhokama qilingan Facebook bahs kechasi va Donald Trampdan keyin ikkinchi o'rinni egalladi Twitter eng ko'p gapirilganlar uchun.[64]

31 oktyabrda Kruz Ayova shtatida bo'lib o'tgan Growth and Opportunity Party tadbirida ma'ruzachi bo'lgan.

Ko'pgina nomzodlarning CNBC munozarasi muvozanatsiz emasligini his qilishlari natijasida ba'zi nomzodlar debat talablari ro'yxatiga imzo chekdilar. Kruz Fox News-ga bergan intervyusida "xatlarni imzolashga qiziqmasligini" aytib, imzolashdan bosh tortdi.[70] Noyabr oyida "Jasoratli konservatorlar" PAC radiosi reklama e'lon qildi: "Ted Kruz hamma narsani amalga oshiradi.… Keyin Sendi Xuk, Ted Kruz Obamaning qurolni nazorat qilish to'g'risidagi yangi qonunlarni qabul qilishini to'xtatdi. "Konnektikut senatori Kris Merfi reklama chiqarilgandan so'ng, bu uni qusishni xohlaganini aytdi va u bu his-tuyg'ularni Sendi Xukda ham yashaganlar bilan bo'lishishiga amin edi.[71]

8-noyabr kuni Kruz Milliy diniy erkinliklar konferentsiyasida ishtirok etdi Des Moines, Ayova, otasi bilan birga Rafael Kruz, Bobbi Jindal va Mayk Xekabi, va tadbir tashkilotchisi bilan savol-javob paytida Kevin Swanson u "har kuni tiz cho'kib boshlamaydigan har qanday prezident bosh qo'mondon bo'lishga yaramaydi", dedi.[72][73] Konferentsiyada Kevin Swanson gomoseksuallarni qatl etishga chaqirdi. Keyinchalik buning uchun Kruzning vakili Rik Tayler Swansonning bayonotlarini "qoralashga yaroqli" deb atadi va "senator Kruzning tadbirga kelishi xato bo'lgan" degan izohni berib, Kruz gomoseksuallarga nisbatan nafrat yoki zo'ravonlikka qarshi ekanligini bildirdi.[74][75] 24-noyabr kuni Quinnipiac universiteti tomonidan o'tkazilgan so'rov natijalariga ko'ra Cruz Ayova shtatida 23% bilan ikkinchi o'rinda, faqat Donald Tramp ortda qoldi.[76] Bu Kruz nihoyat oldingi siyosiy tajribaga ega bo'lmagan Tramp va Karson kabi siyosiy tajribaga ega bo'lmagan nomzodlarni qo'llab-quvvatlagan va Respublikachilar partiyasi nomzodi uchun da'vogar sifatida uning ishonchliligini o'rnatganlarni qo'llab-quvvatlaganligini isbotlovchi dalil sifatida qaraldi.[77][78] Bundan tashqari, bu ba'zilarning Kruzni boshqa nomzodlar bilan to'qnashuvlardan qochish va faqat o'z mohiyatiga e'tibor qaratish bo'yicha to'g'ri qaror qabul qilganiga ishonishiga olib keldi.[79]

Parijdagi hujumlardan so'ng ko'tarilish

The Noyabr 2015 Parijdagi hujumlar respublika maydonini sezilarli darajada o'zgartirib, jamoatchilik e'tiborini o'zgartirdi tashqi siyosat va immigratsiya.[80][81] Garchi oldingi Trump bo'lsa-da, populist bayonotlari bilan ham, ular ham qirg'iyboz sifatida qabul qilingan izolyatsionist - ikkinchi o'rinni egallab turgan pog'onali maqomiga deyarli ta'sir qilmadi Ben Karson hujumning darhol so'ngida sezilarli qo'llab-quvvatlashni yo'qotdi, chunki u tashqi siyosatda yumshoq va tajribasiz deb qabul qilindi. Tashkilot sevimli Jeb Bush immigratsiya bo'yicha mo''tadil degan obro'si tufayli kech ko'tarilishga umidlari pasaygan. Aksincha, har ikkala mavzu bo'yicha ochiq pozitsiyani egallagan Rubio va Kruz o'zlarining ovoz berishlari ko'tarilishini ko'rishdi. Noyabr oyi oxiriga kelib, so'rovnomalarning o'rtacha ko'rsatkichlari Rubio ikkinchi o'rinda, Kruz esa milliy ko'rsatkich bo'yicha uchinchi o'ringa yaqinlashdi.[82][83]

Fuqarolikka qarshi chiqaman. Noqonuniy chet elliklar uchun qonuniylashtirishga qarshi chiqaman. Men doim ham shundayman va shunday qilaman".[94][95][96] 22-dekabr, tasodifan Kruzning 45 yoshga to'lgan kunida Quinnipiac so'rovnomasi e'lon qilindi, u erda Kruz milliy miqyosda Trampga ikkinchi o'rinni egallab, uning ortida atigi to'rt foiz punktga ortda qoldi - 24%.[97][98][99]

Branstadning sharhlari Ayova shtati kokusidagi shtatning avvalgi gubernatorlari odatda betaraf bo'lib qolgan xatti-harakatlaridan ancha yiroq edi.[111][112] Hokimning izohidan bir necha soat o'tgach, Sara Peylin To'rt yil oldin AQSh Senatiga saylanish paytida Kruzning tarafdori bo'lgan Trampni ma'qulladi.[113] Ushbu voqealar Teodor Shleyferni harakatga keltirdi CNN Kruz "yaxshi kunlarni o'tkazdi" degan xulosaga kelish.[114]

Yanvar oyi oxiriga kelib, Tramp Ayova shtatida ovoz berish peshqadamligini qayta qo'lga kiritdi va kruzusdan atigi 6 kun oldin ovoz berish natijalari bo'yicha Kruzning 27% iga to'g'ri keldi.[115] Kruz Fox News-ning ikkinchi bahsining ishtirokchisi edi. Uni ba'zi ekspertlar immigratsiya bo'yicha oldingi pozitsiyalaridagi himoyaviy pozitsiyalari, shuningdek, etanolga beriladigan subsidiyalar va mag'lubiyatga uchraganliklari sababli mag'lubiyatga uchragan deb hisoblashgan.[116][117]

2016 yil 1 fevralda Kruz birinchi respublika nominatsiyalar tanlovida g'olib chiqdi Ayova Respublika kokusi. Kruz 28 foiz ovoz olgan, Donald Tramp va Marko Rubio ikkinchi va uchinchi o'rinlarni egallaganlar, mos ravishda 24 va 23 foiz.[118] Aniq g'alaba ko'pchilik uchun kutilmagan voqea bo'ldi; tahlilchilar bu ko'rsatkichni Ayova shtatidagi Cruz kompaniyasining keng miqyosli boshlang'ich tashkiloti bilan bog'liq deb hisoblashadi Barak Obama kampaniyasi 2008 yil Ayova shtatidagi Demokratik partiyaning kokuslari, bu erda Obama statistik jihatdan taqqoslangan musobaqada xuddi shunday ikkita raqibidan ustunroq edi. Kruz har ikki partiyada Ayova shtatidagi kokusda g'olib chiqqan birinchi ispaniyalik bo'ldi.[119] Biroq, Kruz uchun keyingi barcha matbuot ijobiy emas edi; Kruzning saylovoldi kampaniyasi, ovozli pochta uchun javobgar Karson poygani tark etganligi haqidagi da'vo bilan javobgar ekanligi aniqlanganidan so'ng, ehtimol Karsonning evangelist tarafdorlarini Kruz tomonga to'plashga urinish.[120][121][122][123] Keyinchalik Kruz Karsondan ikki marta kechirim so'radi va voqeani xodimlar zimmasiga yukladi, ammo yolg'on ma'lumot tarqalishi sababli hech kim ishdan olinmadi.[124]

9 fevral kuni Nyu-Xempshirda bo'lib o'tgan dastlabki saylovlar, bir hafta o'tgach, zarbalarni ta'minlamadi; Kruz 12 foiz ovoz bilan Tramp va Kasichni ortda qoldirib, Bush va Rubioni ortda qoldirdi. Kasich va Bush Nyu-Xempshir poygasida katta mablag 'sarflagani tufayli - g'olib chiqishga va o'rtacha "chiziq" ni birlashtirishga umid qilib - bu past natijalar ularning kampaniyalariga turtki bermadi.

20-fevral kuni bo'lib o'tgan Janubiy Karolina shtatidagi dastlabki saylovlar oldidan Kruz va Rubio CBS telekanali tomonidan o'tkazilgan bahsda qizg'in almashinuvga aralashib qolishdi. Kruz Rubioning intervyusiga murojaat qildi Univision va Rubio immigratsiya masalasida uning jamoatchilik pozitsiyasidan boshqacha pozitsiya bildirganini, aslida uni ispan tomoshabinlariga pand berishda ayblaganini da'vo qildi. Keyin Rubio Kruz ispan tilida gapira olmaydi va shu sababli uning so'zlarini tushunolmayapti degan ayblov bilan javob qaytardi. Xavotirga tushgan Kruz, ispan tilida Rubiodan o'z bayonotini ispan tilida davom ettirishini so'radi. Rubio birjadan voz kechdi va Kruzni tez-tez insofsizlikda aybladi, ayniqsa Ayova shtati kongressi haqidagi ziddiyatlarga ishora qildi. Ayirboshlash ijtimoiy tarmoqlarda katta muhokamaga aylandi va Amerikaning asosiy partiyasi prezidentlik bahsida Ispan tilining birinchi misoli tilga olinishi bilan ahamiyatli bo'ldi; Beto O'Rourke keyinchalik 2019 yilgi Demokratik munozarada ham xuddi shunday qildi.[125]

Keyinchalik Janubiy Karolina respublikachilarining birlamchi, Kruz ozgina 0,15% marj bilan Rubioning ortidan 3-o'rinni egalladi.[126] Ertasi kuni Bush prezidentlik poygasidan chiqib ketdi, Kruz esa u va Rubio Trampning orqasida 2-o'ringa "samarali bog'langanini" e'lon qildi, demak, ikkalasi ham Trampning asosiy konservativ raqibi sifatida maqom uchun kurashmoqda.[127]

Nevada, Kruz va Rubio ikkinchi qattiq kurashning bir qismi bo'lib, Rubio 24%, Cruz esa 21% ovoz oldi.[128]

Super seshanba

Ayova shtati kokusining oqshomigacha Marko Rubio va Ted Kruz kampaniyalari Ayova shtatining o'tgan saylovchilariga maqsadli pochta xabarlarini yuborish uchun e'lon qilingan shtat saylovchilar ro'yxati yozuvlaridan foydalanganlar. Pochta jo'natmalari saylov organidan kelib chiqadigan ko'rinishga ega bo'lib, tashqi ko'rinishida qalin qizil qutiga katta ovoz bilan "OVITCHILARNI BUZGANLIK" deb e'lon qildi.[129] Ba'zi oluvchilar, avvalgi saylovchilarning ishtiroki va ularga qo'shni qo'shnilarning ishtirokini ko'rsatib beradigan tarkib ularni qo'rqitganliklarini aytishdi.[130][131]

Ayova shtatida bo'lib o'tgan kecha oqshomida, CNN muxbirlarining yangiliklaridagi xabarlarda, Karsonning marshruti tungi kokus natijalari oldidan Florida shtatiga, keyin Nyu-Xempshir yoki Janubiy Karolina shtatiga emas, balki Vashingtonga o'qishga borishi kerakligi to'g'ri ko'rsatilgan; Cruz kampaniyasi ushbu reportajlarni yangiliklar intervyularida va Twitter postlarida havola eta boshladi, ularni Karsonning kampaniyadan chiqishni rejalashtirayotganligini ko'rsatuvchi xabar sifatida noto'g'ri taqdim etdi.[132][133][tushuntirish kerak ] Keyinchalik Kruz doktor Ben Karsonga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri telefon orqali uzr so'radi va CNN-ga bergan intervyusida kechirim so'radi.[134] Saylov kampaniyasining surrogati Piter King voqealardagi ishtirokini himoya qildi va Kruz Karsonning kampaniyadan chiqishi haqidagi mish-mishlarni tarqatgani uchun bironta xodimini jazolamasligini aytdi.[135]

Nyu-Xempshirdagi ABC munozarasida Donald Tramp Kruz kampaniyasini Ayova shtatidagi kongress paytida doktor Ben Karsonni nishonga olgani uchun "iflos hiyla-nayranglarda" aybladi. Shundan so'ng, Kruzning aloqa bo'yicha direktori Rik Tayler Marko Rubioni tanqid qilgan noto'g'ri subtitrlar bilan videoni ommaga e'lon qildi. Injil. Ertasi kuni, 22 fevral kuni Tayler videoni nashr qilgani uchun Facebook-dagi sahifasida Rubiodan uzr so'radi. Ko'p o'tmay, Kruz Taylerning iste'fosini talab qildi.[136]

Tayler iste'foga chiqqandan so'ng, Marko Rubio Kruzni "yolg'onchi" deb atadi, Xyustonda bo'lib o'tgan CNN / Telemundo bahslari 25 fevral kuni; Donald Trump CNN munozarasida Kruzga qaratilgan "yolg'onchi" iborasini takrorladi va ikkita kampaniya Ayova, Nyu-Xempshir, Janubiy Karolina va Super seshanba kunlari sodir bo'lgan ayyorlik ayyorligini to'g'ridan-to'g'ri Kruzga bog'lab, Taylerning iste'fosini kamaytirdi.[137]

Dastlabki natijalarning ichki chiqish so'rovini tahlil qilib, ushbu ayblovlarning ta'siri Janubiy Karolina shtatiga nomzodlarni tanlashda evangelist xristian saylovchilariga ta'sir ko'rsatdi. O'zini tanishtirgan evangelistlar Donald Trampning nomzodlar qadriyatlari ularning qadriyatlari bilan chambarchas mos kelishiga rozi bo'lmadilar, ammo Donald Trampni ushbu guruh orasida eng maqbul nomzod Kruzdan yuqori foizda tanladilar.[138]

Super seshanba kuni bo'lib o'tgan boshlang'ich saylovlar va jamoat uchrashuvlari paytida, 1 mart kuni, evangelist nasroniy saylovchilarning chiqish natijalari kutilgan darajada edi, Virjiniya bundan mustasno, Donald Tramp o'rniga Kruzni tanladi.[139] Virjiniyada tanlov Tramp va Kruz ustidan Rubio bo'lib, Tramp g'olib deb e'lon qilindi.[140]

Kruzning saylovoldi kampaniyasi asosan o'z uyi Texas shtatiga tayanishga qaratilgan edi.[141] Kruz, shuningdek, Alyaskaga e'tibor qaratdi, chunki hech qachon shtatga tashrif buyurmagan, ammo uning quyi harakati etarli bo'lishiga ishongan.[142][143] 28-fevral kuni o'tkazilgan so'rovnomada Kruz Texasda o'n bir ochko bilan 42% ko'rsatkich bilan peshqadamlikni saqlab qoldi.[143] CNN telekanali Tom LoBiankoning ta'kidlashicha, Kruzning Texasdagi g'alabasi Trampning harakatini sekinlashtirishi mumkin.[144] Kristofer Hooks Los Anjeles Tayms Kruzning saylovoldi kampaniyasi Texasdagi kambag'allik bilan yakunlanishi mumkin, shu bilan birga katta g'alabani "yangi kuch bilan" poygada qolish imkoniyatini beradi.[145] Kruz ovozlarni ta'minlash uchun birlamchi saylovdan bir kun oldin Texasga borgan.[141] 2016 yil 1 mart kuni asosiy kuni Kruz g'olib bo'ldi Texas bilan birga 17% (oxirgi ovoz berish natijalariga ko'ra) Alyaska va Oklaxoma unga to'rtta shtat birlamchi g'alabalarini taqdim etdi.[146]

Super seshanbadan keyin

2016 yil 5 martda Kruz g'olib bo'ldi Kanzas va Meyn unga oltita shtat bo'ylab g'oliblikni beradigan kokuslar.[147][148][149] Kruz Kanzasda eng katta farqni qo'lga kiritdi, u erda Trampni 25 ochko bilan mag'lub etdi.[149] Kruz, shuningdek, Luiziana shtatida Trampni eng ko'p delegatlar soni bilan bog'ladi Luiziana shtatidagi asosiy saylov, har biri 18 delegat bilan.[150] Kanzas va Meynda Tramp ustidan qozonilgan g'alabalari bilan Kruz o'zini nominatsiya uchun etakchi da'vogar Trampni engish uchun eng yaxshi imkoniyatga ega nomzod sifatida ko'rsatdi.[151] 2016 yil 6 mart kuni Puerto-Riko dastlabki saylovlari, Kruz 9% ovoz oldi, uni Rubio va Trampdan keyin uchinchi o'ringa qo'ydi.[152] 2016 yil 8 martda Kruz g'olib bo'ldi Aydaho shtati asosiy 45% ovoz bilan - Trampni 17% mag'lubiyatga uchratdi va shtat bo'ylab ettinchi g'alabasini qo'lga kiritdi.[153] U ikkinchi o'rinni egalladi Michigan, Missisipi va Gavayi.[153] Aydaxodagi g'alaba uning da'vosini Donald Trampga eng yaxshi alternativ sifatida mustahkamladi.[153] 2016 yil 12 martda Kruz Вайoming okrugidagi konvensiyalarda 67% ovoz bilan g'olib bo'ldi va unga shtat bo'ylab sakkizinchi g'alabasini taqdim etdi.[154] U Kolumbiya okrugidagi anjumanda to'rtinchi o'rinni egalladi.

Rubio Floridada yutqazganidan va 15 mart kuni uning saylovoldi tashviqoti to'xtatilganidan so'ng, sharhlovchilar Kruz uning tarafdorlarining aksariyati, shu jumladan saylovchilar va boshqa ofis egalari uchun surrogatga aylanib borayotganini ta'kidlashdi.[155] 17 mart kuni Lindsi Grem ilgari bir necha bor Kruzni yoqtirmasligini ko'rsatgan, Kruzni Trampni asosiy tarkibda engishga qodir ekanligiga ishongani uchun uni qo'llab-quvvatlaydi va mablag 'yig'ishini aytdi.[156] Ko'p o'tmay, sobiq Respublikachilar partiyasidan prezidentlikka nomzod Mitt Romni Kruzni "Trumpism" deb atagan narsa uchun qo'llab-quvvatlashini bildirdi.[157] Jeb Bush 23 martda, saylov kampaniyasining e'lon qilingan kunida Kruzni qo'llab-quvvatladi va Kruzni "printsipial konservativ" deb atadi va saylovchilarni Trampni potentsial nomzod sifatida rad etishga chaqirdi.[158]

25 mart kuni Kruz a National Enquirer da'vo "siyosiy tezkorlar" Kruzning nikohdan tashqari ishlarga aloqadorligini tekshirmoqda.[159] Yilda Oshkosh, Viskonsin, Kruz ayblovlarni "to'liq va yolg'on" deb rad etdi va maqolani "axlat" deb atadi va yolg'on uchun aybni Donald Tramp va uning ittifoqchilariga yukladi.[160] 2016 yil 3 aprelda Kruz intervyu oldi Megin Kelli, va u doimo xotiniga sodiq bo'lganligini aytdi.[161][162]

2016 yil 3 aprelda, Shimoliy Dakota Kruzni qo'llab-quvvatlovchi delegatlar ustun bo'lgan delegatlar varag'ini sayladi. Kruz delegatlar ko'pchiligining qo'llab-quvvatlashiga ega bo'ldi.[163] Ikki kundan keyin Kruz g'alaba qozondi Viskonsin shtati birlamchi 48% ovoz bilan va 42 delegatdan 36 tasi bilan. 8 aprel kuni Kruz 21 tasini oldi Kolorado 37 delegatlar,[164] ertasi kuni, 9-aprel kuni, shtatning respublika anjumani paytida qolgan delegatlar tomonidan qo'llab-quvvatlandi.[165]Aprel oyida, shuningdek, Trumpning etakchi mavqega ega ekanligini ko'rsatadigan so'rovlar o'rtasida Nyu York, Kruz o'z yo'nalishini yo'naltira boshladi Kaliforniya, Respublika saylovchilari 7 iyun kuni ovoz berishlari sababli.[166] Aprel o'rtalarida Kruz sayohat qildi Vayoming o'zining saylovoldi kampaniyasi uchun 14 delegatni yig'ishga intildi, ammo bu reja shtat respublikachilarining uch oy ichida milliy anjumanda delegatlarni yuborishga umid qilgan respublikachilar guruhiga zid bo'lsa ham.[167] 16-aprel kuni Kruz shtat qurultoyida Vayominning barcha delegatlarini himoya qildi, shu sababli Tramp shu kuni bo'lib o'tgan mitingda jarayonni "soxta" deb atadi Sirakuza, Nyu-York.[168]

19-aprel kuni Tramp shtat delegatlarini qabul qilib, u va Kruz o'rtasidagi farqni 300 dan oshiqroq qilib, Nyu-Yorkda bo'lib o'tgan saylovda g'olib chiqdi.

U Kruz kampaniyasining sherigi Devid Soyer "bizni orqamizdan pichoq urdi, birlik slanetsidan voz kechdi va Meyn aholisiga xiyonat qildi". Keyinchalik Kruz Meyn uchun 20 delegat uyasidan 19tasini oldi.[171]

Vitse-prezident tanlovi; Indiana shtatida yo'qotish va to'xtatib turish

2016 yil 27 aprelda, bahsli asosiy bosqichda nomzod uchun odatiy bo'lmagan harakat,[172][173][174] Kruz buni e'lon qildi Karli Fiorina uning saylovoldi kampaniyasiga vitse-prezidentlik uchun sherik sifatida qo'shilgan bo'lardi Bu uning shimoli-sharqda bir qator boshlang'ich saylovlarda yutqazib, keyin poygadan chiqib ketganidan bir kun o'tib sodir bo'ldi. Keyinchalik Kruz kampaniyasi ularning yo'qotilishini Rubioni turmush o'rtog'i sifatida tanlanmaganligi bilan izohlaydi, chunki gipotetik so'rov natijalariga ko'ra Kruz Trampni vitse-prezidentlikka nomzod sifatida Rubio bilan katta farq bilan mag'lub etgan. Biroq, Rubio o'sha paytdagi har qanday qiziqishni qoraladi, bu esa kampaniyani unga yaqinlashmaslikka ishontirdi.[175] 30 aprelda, Sobiq Kaliforniya gubernatori Pit Uilson shtat Respublikachilar partiyasining qurultoyida qatnashgan Kruzni ma'qulladi.[176] Xuddi shu kuni, 13 kishidan 10 tasi haqida xabar berildi Virjiniya o'sha shtatning respublikachilar qurultoyidagi delegatlar Kruzga sodiq edilar.[177]

G'ayrioddiy bo'lsa-da, Kruz uchun nomzodni ta'minlamay, o'z turmush o'rtog'ini e'lon qilishi umuman misli ko'rilmagan edi. Muvaffaqiyatsiz paytida 1976 yilgi kampaniya respublika nomzodi uchun, sobiq gubernator Ronald Reygan xuddi shunday e'lon qilingan Richard Shvayker uning afzal yugurish sherigi sifatida.[178] Amaldagi prezident Jerald Ford oxir-oqibat 1976 yilda respublikachilar nomzodini taqdim etadi anjuman.

3 may Indiana shtab-kvartirasi sharhlovchilar va ekspertlar Kruz uchun yo'qotish Tramp nomzodini anglatishini taxmin qilgan mulohazachilar va ekspertlar tomonidan Cruz kampaniyasi uchun ishlab chiqarish yoki tanaffus sifatida keng ko'rilgan. Xayriya mablag'larini jalb qiladigan elektron pochta xabarida, Kruz shtat Trumpni to'xtatish uchun hal qiluvchi ahamiyatga ega ekanligini tan oldi.[179] 29-aprel kuni Indiana gubernatori Mayk Pens (nomzod Trampning oxir-oqibat nomzodi), u shtatdagi asosiy saylovda Kruzga ovoz berishini aytdi va uni samarali ravishda qo'llab-quvvatladi.[180] 1 may kuni Kruzni Trampdan 15 ochko ortda qoldirib, Indiana shtatidagi respublikachi saylovchilarni 34 foiz qo'llab-quvvatlaganligi to'g'risida so'rovnoma e'lon qilindi.[181] Xuddi shu kuni Kruz, boshlang'ich saylov natijalaridan qat'i nazar, kampaniyani davom ettirishga qasamyod qildi.[182] 3 may kuni Indiana shtatidagi dastlabki saylovlardan so'ng Kruz o'zining saylovoldi kampaniyasini to'xtatayotganini e'lon qildi.[183]

Imtiyoz

Qo'shimcha ma'lumotlar: Tug'ilgan va tug'ilgan fuqaroning bandi § Ted Kruz

Kruz bilan uchrashadimi yoki yo'qmi degan savollar tug'dirdi konstitutsiyaviy Prezident a bo'lishi kerak bo'lgan malaka tabiiy tug'ilgan fuqaro Kruz Kanadada tug'ilganligi sababli.[184][185][186] Donald Tramp, Kruzning Respublikachilar partiyasidagi asosiy partiyadagi raqiblaridan biri, Kruz tabiiy ravishda tug'ilgan fuqaro bo'lish talablariga javob beradimi-yo'qligini bir necha bor shubha ostiga qo'ydi.[187]

Fikrlar, aksariyat hollarda, Kruz sifatida xizmat qilish huquqiga ega Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari Prezidenti; tomonidan o'tkazilgan konstitutsiyaviy olimlarning aksariyati Politico u munosib ekanligiga ishonaman,[188][189] va "kichik, ammo ovozli guruh" u bo'lmagan muammolarni chiqardi.[187][190][191] Ning eslatmasiga ko'ra Kongress tadqiqot xizmati, "Ilmiy huquqiy va tarixiy fikrlarning og'irligi," tabiiy ravishda tug'ilgan fuqaro "AQSh Konstitutsiyasi yoki qonunlariga binoan" tug'ilish paytida "yoki" tug'ilish paytida "AQSh fuqaroligiga ega bo'lishni anglatuvchi degan ma'noni anglatadi. ..

Mablag 'yig'ish

Cruz raised nearly AQSH$4 million in the first eight days after he announced his presidential campaign.[195] 95% of the donations to Cruz's campaign came in contributions of less than AQSH$100.[195]

On April 8, 2015, it was reported that super PAC-lar backing Cruz had raised AQSH$31 million in a week, one of the biggest fundraising surges in modern presidential-race history to date.[196] The Cruz campaign is funded by six separate super PACs,[197] an unusually large number, described as "unprecedented" by CNN campaign finance experts.[198][199] According to Dathan Voelter, treasurer of several of the PACs, this allows megadonors to exercise "influence and control" over how their money is spent on the campaign. Of the PACs, Keep the Promise I is funded primarily by a AQSH$11 million donation from Robert Mercer,[200] Keep the Promise II is funded entirely from a AQSH$10 million donation from Toby Neugebauer,[201] and Keep the Promise III is funded by AQSH$15 million[202] tomonidan ehson qilingan Dan and Farris Wilks, two billionaire brothers from Cruz's home state of Texas, and their wives.[198] As of July 25, a total of AQSH$38 million was pledged to Keep The Promise super PACs.[203]

Within the first 48 hours after the second Republican primary debate, Cruz's campaign raised AQSH$1 million, the result of more than 15,000 donations, the average being AQSH$49.54. Cruz said he was "thrilled by the outpouring of financial support we've seen in such a short amount of time".[204]

On October 8, the Cruz campaign announced AQSH$12 million during the previous fundraising quarter, noted by The New York Times as being "substantially less" than that of Ben Carson's campaign who raised AQSH$20 million in the same time but double than that of Marco Rubio, who had raised AQSH$6 million within that period. in a campaign statement, it was reported more than 6,000 of his contributors had pledged intentions to make recurring donations every month.[205] By this point, according to the Campaign Finance Institute, Cruz was in second place in the Republican primary for large donors, after Jeb Bush. On October 26, billionaire Darvin Deason announced alongside "five other wealthy Texans" that they would be aboard his campaign.[206] The donors beforehand supported Rick Perry prior to his presidential campaign ending the previous month.[207]

Less than 24 hours after the CNBC Republican presidential debate, the Cruz campaign raised AQSH$1.1 million in what was the third straight post debate AQSH$1 million fundraising haul.[208] Over the last three months of 2015, Cruz raised AQSH$20 million, increasing his campaign's finances by 66% from its earnings of the previous quarter. Campaign manager Jeff Roe in a memo reported that the Cruz campaign had received 300,000 donors' contributions and told supporters that the campaign had "a network in place with the resources required to win that is the envy of every other campaign."[209] On January 7, Cruz's campaign was joined by Republican megadonor Dick Uihlein, who donated US$1 million to his super PAC. Drew Ryun, who works for the Cruz super PAC, said Uihlein was in the top five of the courted Republican donors and called landing him a "good shot in the arm for Ted" as well as boosting the campaign in Iowa.[210] On January 20, in an interview with Mark Levin, Cruz announced that his campaign had superseded US$50 million.[211] More than 40% of Cruz's donations that month came from small donors that he was capable of repeatedly requesting contributions from.[212]

Strategiya

Cruz's campaign strategy relied heavily in gain support of evangelistik leaders, donors and voters.[213]

Theodore Schleifer of CNN wrote of Cruz's campaign strategy, "Raise enough money to go the distance, court the fans of other conservative candidates who inevitably drop out, and emerge in the spring as the clear conservative alternative to an establishment favorite like Bush."[214] Barnes acknowledged doubts that Cruz could win the general election, stressing that he would have to carry states won by Mitt Romni davomida 2012 yilgi prezident saylovi and reverse several victories by President Obama to gain enough electoral votes.[215]

Cruz himself believed that the 2016 election will be similar to the 1980 yilgi prezident saylovi, suggesting the eventual Republican nominee can win the election through being a conservative and appealing to those types of voters. Cruz has often repeated a line from Ronald Reygan, that to win the election, the Republican Party should be "raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors."[216][217] The Cruz campaign noted that four million conservative voters did not turn out during the previous election, though Barnes noted previous defeats of Republican nominees even when these voters deployed.[215]

Politico's Kennet P. Vogel reported in July 2015 that Cruz had partnered with London-based Cambridge Analytica to collect and analyze data on American voters and using strategik aloqa to manage voter behavior.[218]

Multiple times in the campaign, Cruz has done impressions or impersonations of Jon F. Kennedi and made claims that Kennedy would be a Republican if he were alive today. The Kennedy family has spoken out condemning the claims with open letters to the media regarding the positions of Kennedy and Cruz.[219][220][221]

In April 2016, the campaigns of Cruz and Jon Kasich agreed to "split up" some of the remaining primaries in an effort to block Donald Tramp from gaining the 1,237 delegates necessary to clinch the GOP nomination. However, the pact proved challenging; for example, though Cruz was intended to focus on the Indiana primary, Kasich said that his supporters should still vote for him there.[222] And days later, Cruz clarified that there is "no alliance" but, rather, he and Kasich "made a determination where to focus [the campaigns'] energies."[223]

Garnering supporters from other candidates

With Rick Perry's exit from the race on September 11, David Johnson, one of Perry's backers in Iowa, reported being approached by Cruz Iowa state director Bryan English who asked if he would consider "another Texan for president". Additionally, Doug Deason, the son of a $5 million donor to Perry's super PAC, mentioned at the time of his dropping out that he had dined with Cruz "a few evenings ago" and was contacted by Cruz finance director Willie Langston.[224]

After Scott Walker dropped out of the race on September 21, Cruz's campaign website announced its signing of all three of Walker's Georgia grassroots co-chairmen.[225] In early November, Cruz's campaign was joined by former Walker Iowa strategist David Polyansky.[226][227][228]

On September 28, Cruz released a video showing eight former supporters of Ron Pol who had begun backing him and announced that Bob Barr would chair the coalition of the Cruz campaign composed of libertarian-leaning Republicans. Katie Zezima of Washington Post wrote that the former Ron Paul supporters would have been inclined to support his son Rand Paul's presidential campaign.[229] On January 10, Sam Pimm, who worked for the Ben Carson campaign in New Hampshire, publicly announced he was withdrawing from Carson's campaign to support Cruz. Pimm expressed his belief that Carson could not win the nomination and viewed Cruz as having a higher probability of doing so.[230][231]

Donald Tramp bilan munosabatlar

On August 10, Cruz cautioned rival Republican presidential candidates from dismissing Trump, citing that he was attracting large crowds and doing so would not help Republicans reclaim the White House.[232]On September 9, Cruz and Trump made a joint appearance at a rally opposing the 2015 international nuclear agreement with Iran.[233] On November 17, Trump named Cruz when asked about a potential running mate, citing that he liked Cruz and that the senator had backed everything he had said.[234][235] On November 30, Cruz stated during a town hall meeting in Iowa that he believed Trump would not be the nominee.[236] It was observed by some commentators that Cruz was straying from insulting or making any disparaging remarks towards Donald Trump in an effort to get his supporters.[237] Despite this, Cruz came in third place in a Fox News poll, behind Trump and Carson. Tied with Marco Rubio, the poll was said to "poked a hole in the narrative" along with Ben Carson's support rising from 23% to 33% in a poll without Trump while Cruz only went up from 11% to 13%.[238] The day following the Fox Business debate, Cruz outlined his differences from Trump.[239] It was noted by commentators that although Cruz could gain the supporters of Trump should he drop out, there was also the possibility that he would not, which would lead to this effort being for naught.[240][241]

In private remarks to donors that were leaked, former President Jorj V.Bush reportedly said that he did not like Cruz and found him to be opportunistic toward Trump, also stressing his belief that Cruz would be a "pretty formidable candidate" to Jeb Bush around the south. Though the Cruz campaign initially declined commenting on the rumors, Cruz released a public statement where he expressed his "great respect" for the former president and that he would "always be grateful to him" since he met his wife while working on his presidential campaign in 2000. Cruz reasoned that Bush's remarks were made to support his brother, the cause of his additional commenting on other candidates, though Cruz refused to "reciprocate" any attacks.[242]

On December 11, during an appearance in Iowa, Trump admitted to liking Cruz, but mentioned that "not a lot of evangelicals come out of Kuba ". The comment was seen as a reference to Cruz's father Rafael Kruz, who had escaped from Cuba in his early adulthood and was viewed as Trump's first attack on Cruz.[243] Following those remarks, on December 13, Trump went on to say that he had "far better judgement" than Cruz, citing his opposition to the Iroq urushi misol sifatida.[244]

Trump was involved in questioning of Cruz's eligibility for the presidency in January and claimed he was trying to help Cruz, who argued that in politics, "it's fairly unusual for your opponents who are running for the same position to be actually trying to help you".[245] Cruz responded to Trump on January 12 with the assertion that he and Hillari Klinton knew each other well and that "it's interesting that Hillary Clinton's key supporters are doing everything they can to echo Donald's attacks on me."[246] After Cruz and Trump had several exchanges in the Fox Business debate on January 14, Trump said after the debate that he believed "the bromance " between the pair had ended.[247] On January 17, Trump acknowledged Cruz had been "so nice to me" before dubbing him "a nasty guy" and adding: "Nobody likes him, nobody in Congress likes him, nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him."[248] Cruz said on January 25 that Trump potentially could become "unstoppable" if he were to win Iowa, at the same time mentioning his substantial lead in New Hampshire and arguing that his campaign was the only one that could defeat Trump in Iowa.[249]

With Trump declining to participate in the January 28 Fox News debate, Cruz invited him to a one-on-one debate, saying he would like to invite Trump if the latter was afraid of Megin Kelli and launching a website seeking support of those in favor of a debate between the two candidates.[250] Trump's campaign responded by saying Trump would debate Cruz if the two became the last candidates in the race.[251] Cruz lampooned Trump at the Fox News debate, saying, "Now, secondly, let me say I'm a maniac and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat, and ugly. And Ben, you're a terrible jarroh. Now that we've gotten the Donald Trump portion out of the way...."[252] On January 31, Trump criticized Cruz for a controversial mailer that the Cruz campaign sent to voters in Iowa. The mailer was designed to look like an official document that accused the recipient of a "VOTING VIOLATION" for failure to turn out in past elections. The mailer was promptly condemned by Iowa Secretary of State Pol Pate who said the mailer "misrepresents the role of my office, and worse, misrepresents Iowa election law."[253]
