Ted Cruz To Volunteers: Attacks On Me Are Coming So Strap On The Full Armor Of God

Via the Washington Post:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) told volunteers Thursday he believes the Republican presidential contest will be decided in the next 90 days, but warned them to get ready for a nasty ride.

“I want to tell everyone to get ready, strap on the full armor of God, get ready for the attacks that are coming,” a hoarse-sounding Cruz told volunteers on a conference call. “Come the month of January we ain’t seen nothing yet.”

The call, part thank you and update to volunteers and part fundraising pitch where listeners could press a button to give a donation, comes after Cruz’s campaign announced it raised nearly $20 million last quarter as the Texas Republican ascended in the polls in both Iowa, the nation’s first voting state, and nationally.

The Cruz campaign claims to have 175,000 volunteers.
