Now, that GOP front runner Donald Trump has moved on from his rally in Mobile, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is gearing up for a visit to Tuscaloosa on Tuesday. Alabama was once considered a flyover state for presidential hopefuls. But, state GOP leaders that’s not the case now and six Republican Presidential hopefuls are lining up for a chance to woo voters in this self-avowed consecutive state. Governor Robert Bentley last Monday endorsed Ohio Governor John Kasich. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker spoke in Talladega on Saturday. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush all have stops in the state next week.
