LISTEN HERE:

On this week’s episode of LoudonClear, Trevor, Sparky and special guest Manny Roman discuss Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s historic win in Iowa. Ted Cruz, who captured the most-ever-recorded votes for any one caucus in the state, was victorious despite a daily pounding from the GOP establishment and the mainstream media.

Roman defied the GOP establishment in December by endorsing Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz in a letter to the Editor published in the Miami Herald.

As reported previously at TrevorLoudon.com,

Roman’s act of defiance led party chief Nelson Diaz, who has worked with Marco Rubio (and even donated to Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Shultz) to call for Roman’s resignation, saying the endorsement “violated a Republican Party of Florida rule that prohibits GOP officers from endorsing one Republican over another.”

Manny Roman wrote an editorial published at Fox News Latino on Monday titled “Ted Cruz will dominate the Hispanic vote.” Roman writes in part:

Ted Cruz has consistently stood with the millions of conservatives who passionately defend the rule of law and understand that a weak immigration system that rewards rule-breakers, does not only threaten our national security, but runs counter to American values. His principled position AGAINST amnesty, unlike that of my home-town senator – Rubio, has not only earned Cruz the respect of millions of Americans, but will also lead to him dominating the Hispanic vote in 2016.

Trevor and Sparky also discussed the “Haka.” Trevor and Sparky promised to do the Haka – in traditional clothes – if Ted Cruz wins the presidency, right at the White House!

Roman spoke with Loudon on this week’s episode of LoudonClear. Roman defied the GOP establishment by endorsing Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz in a letter to the Editor published in the Miami Herald.

As reported previously at TrevorLoudon.com, Roman’s act of defiance led party chief Nelson Diaz, who has worked with Marco Rubio (and even donated to Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Shultz) to call for Roman’s resignation, saying the endorsement “violated a Republican Party of Florida rule that prohibits GOP officers from endorsing one Republican over another.”

Manny told Trevor, “everything just blew up down here.” Manny explained that party officials questioned his decision and the GOP establishment in Florida received calls from “many important people…giving them hell.”

Manny Roman on Fox Business with Neil Cavuto explains his endorsement for Senator Ted Cruz

Miami-Dade Republican Party Vice Chair Manny Roman defied his peers by endorsing Presidential hopeful Senator Ted Cruz in a letter to the Editor published Saturday in the Miami Herald.

“Cruz is an incredibly talented, principled and unwavering voice for constitutional and limited government,” Roman wrote. “That’s why I’m endorsing him.”

His endorsement led to RINO party chief Nelson Diaz to call for Roman’s resignation, saying the endorsement “violated a Republican Party of Florida rule that prohibits GOP officers from endorsing one Republican over another.”

Speaking of picking and choosing Republicans, Nelson Diaz’s Chairmanship was reported to be the “outcome of [a] closed door meeting” barring Republicans who actually care about the Constitution who have varying perspectives. The level of vitriol aimed at Manny is a bit more understandable when one reads more about Nelson Diaz:

“Nelson has become one of Tallahassee’s young rising stars since serving as Chief Legislative Aide to the Former Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, and now United States Senator, Marco Rubio.”

Diaz has donated to Marco Rubio, as well as Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Shultz (you read that right).

Alluding to pressure to toe the line in his endorsement for Ted Cruz, Roman writes,

However, even in an environment where there is overwhelming indirect pressure to get behind one of the local candidates, Ted Cruz’s story and platform break through all the noise.

The battle in Florida is one that has been simmering locally throughout the country as conservatives struggle to gain control of their respective Republican leadership. The struggle is nothing new and is reminiscent of how the establishment treated Ronald Reagan, the grassroots candidate of his era as often pointed out by author and speaker Trevor Loudon.

Consider Craig Shirley, the “preeminent Ronald Reagan biographer and historian” who reminded people on a Breitbart radio program that the Washington establishment “disdained Reagan much like it hates today’s top conservatives…”

The article continues:

Noting that ‘RINOs’ never embraced Reagan since he campaigned for Barry Goldwater, Shirley said he actually went to work for the Republican National Committee (RNC) in 1982 because Lyn Nofziger, Reagan’s top adviser and strategist, said there were not enough Reaganites at the RNC, which was populated mostly by establishment ‘Bushies’ allied with George H.W. Bush.

Similarly, Glenn Beck spoke about how the establishment sought to thwart Ronald Reagan on his syndicated radio broadcast in November.

Watch Manny discuss his position with Neil Cavuto on Fox Business channel:

The principled stance Manny Roman has taken should be an inspiration to conservatives who battle the establishment. After all, Roman got a tweet from Cruz himself. He also has the respect of this author.
