Alice Stewart, national spokeswoman for Sen. [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore], mistakenly referred to the Texas senator as “Ted Trump” Friday on MSNBC.

In an interview with Chris Jansing, Stewart went down the list of reasons to vote for Cruz, but when the punch line came, she said “those are the kind of things and the kind of words that resonate for supporters for Ted Trump.” (RELATED: Ted Cruz’s Latest Ad Features A Porn Star)

Stewart said, “We won the Iowa caucus. Those voters there saw [Cruz] in a different light. We also did strong in New Hampshire, and a lot of words that we hear from our supporters is that he is trusted, he is consistent, he is conservative, he is a man of faith, he is a man of conviction. And those are the kinds of words that people of South Carolina are seeing. And what we’re doing here in South Carolina, we hit the gate right after New Hampshire and had a very enthusiastic crowd in Myrtle Beach. And what resonates with them are some of the strongest points that Ted makes out on there, that he is strong on faith and family. He’s strong on Second Amendment rights. That is big here in South Carolina,” Stewart suggested.

“And also national security. This is a big military state, and what resonates with people here is the fact that he will call out radical Islamic terrorism for what it is. He will stand up to radical dictators, and he will make this nation safe again. And those are the kind of things and the kind of words that resonate for supporters for Ted Trump,” Stewart insisted.

“And that’s why our ground game that we have here is solid,” Stewart suggested. “I believe you were in our office yesterday. And you saw the teams that we have, nearly 10,000 volunteers. We knock on over 20,000 — thousands of doors a day, 20,000 phone calls every day. We have county leaders in every county, and so that ground game is going to help to get out that message and turn voters out on the primary date.”
