DailyWire: Ted Cruz went after the “lefty journalists” at PolitiFact yesterday on Facebook, calling them out for “grasping at straws” to rate his claim of the shrinking Democratic Party as “mostly false.”
Speaking with Megyn Kelly the day after the first Democratic debate hosted by CNN, Cruz was asked how he could ever appeal to a party that is running against free markets. He said, “The modern Democratic Party is getting smaller and smaller and smaller.”
PolitiFact sought to frame this claim as a lie, resting its position on the DNC’s greater fundraising than the RNC’s in 2014. According to OpenSecrets.org, in 2014 the DNC raised $855 million to the RNC’s $666 million. This great fundraising, PolitiFact asserts, is proof of the falsity of Cruz’s claim.
Cruz noted that PolitiFact concedes Democratic losses during President Barack Obama’s tenure. Democrats have lost 11 governorships, 13 Senate seats, 69 House seats, and 910 legislative seats. PolitiFact also acknowledged that 38% of Americans identified as Democrats in 2008. Today that number has dropped to 29%. MORE
