Ted Cruz swung into North Carolina earlier this week and held a couple of events in Raleigh and Charlotte.
The event started as a rally, but quickly change format to a townhall with Megyn Kelly of FOX news.
This article is basically a collection of what I saw and heard.
The turn out was YUGE!
Thousands showed up and some were turned away due to fire code limitations. This is one shot of the line to get in, which wove back and forth in the church parking area.
I was lucky enough to snag a ticket to the Raleigh event, where I met a lot of great North Carolinians.
Below is a shot of some of the great folks I was standing with, after giving up my seat so a young pregnant woman didn’t have to stand. The young woman’s mom is just to my right in the selfie we took:

Cruz Crew organizers, like Angie Cutlip, deserve a medal for making this all happen in the bat of an eye:
