Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te tangata e hiahia ana hei Perehitini: Ka whakapaohotia e te Kaunihera o Texas a Ted Cruz tana tono i te Mane nei. E ai ki ngā pūrongo, ka whakapuaki a Ted Cruz i tana hiahia ki te whakataetae mō te Perehitini o Te Hononga o Amerika i tēnei Rāhina, ā, ko ia te tangata tuatahi kua whakapuakihia e whai tūmanako ana ki te pōtitanga o 2016. Ko te seneta Republican o Texas, kei roto tonu i tana wa tuatahi o te Kaunihera, e tika ana kia whakapau i a ia ki te kaupapa perehitini i te whaikorero i Virginia a tera wiki, e ai ki nga kaitohutohu matua. I kōrero ngā kaiawhina i te puni o Cruz mō ana whakaaro ki te Houston Chronicle, engari i tohe kia noho ingoa kore. Ka tūmanako a Cruz ki te wikitōria i ētahi atu kaitono o te GOP pērā i a Jeb Bush, Scott Walker me Rand Paul ki te wikitōria i te tohu a tōna rōpū. I pūrongotia e te Chronicle ka pānuitia e Cruz i tētahi hui whakamanatanga i tū ki Liberty University, Virginia, te whare wānanga Karaitiana nui rawa o te ao. I a ia e whakaatu ana i tana rautaki pakanga, e kii ana nga kaiawhina a Cruz ka tumanako ia ki te kohi neke atu i te $ 40 miriona hei awhina i a ia ki te whakataetae i te kaupapa matua. E kiia ana kei te peke a Cruz i te taahiraa o te hanga i tetahi 'komiti torotoro', kua oti i a Jeb Bush, ka whakapuaki tika i te tono. Ka tūmanako ia ka pai te mahi a ōna tohu manawanui ki te parirau Tea Party o te GOP, ā, ka whakawhirinaki hoki ki te tiki i ngā pōti tuarua me te tuatoru o ngā pōti iti iho i te hunga pōti. Ahakoa kaore ia i te kaha o etahi atu kaitono i roto i a Washington me te turanga torangapu, e whakaae ana nga kaitono rautaki, e tumanako ana ratou me nga kaitono o nga kawanatanga matua penei i a Iowa, New Hampshire me South Carolina, ka taea e ia te kawe i te ra. Heoi anō, ka noho tonu a Cruz hei tangata motuhake i roto i tētahi āpure Reipa e noho pū ana. I tētahi pōti i te tīmatanga o tēnei marama, mai i te Whare Wānanga o Quinnipiac, i hoatu ki a ia te 6 ōrau o te pōti GOP. Ka taea e Jeb Bush, maui, me Scott Walker, matau, te whakahau i te tautoko GOP nui atu i Cruz. Kua whakatūria e Bush tētahi 'komiti torotoro' mō tana tono, ā, kāore anō a Walker kia pānuitia. Hei whakataurite, i riro i te kawana o Wisconsin a Scott Walker te 18 ōrau, i riro i te kawana o mua o Florida a Jeb Bush te 16,...
E kiia ana ka whakapuakina e te seneta o Texas tana kaitono i Virginia i te Mane. Kāore he tangata kē i whakapuaki i tētahi tono ā-ture, ahakoa kei te noho tonu te kapa GOP. Ko Jeb Bush rāua ko Scott Walker e rua e whai tautoko nui ana i roto i te rōpū. E ai ki nga korero, ka whakaae nga kaiawhina a Cruz he iti noa te tautoko i Washington, engari ko te tumanako ka pai tana mahi i nga kawanatanga nui penei i Iowa, New Hampshire me South Carolina. Ko te Kaunihera o Kentucky a Rand Paul e kiia ana ka panui i te Paenga-whāwhā 7. Ko te tangata e wikitoria ana i te kōwhiringa pōti a te Pōti Reipa, ka tūtaki pea ia ki a Hillary Clinton.
