Afraid of him, aren’t you HuffPo?

The fact that he outdid Dorkbama in virtually EVERY aspect whilst he was at Harvard pretty much shows what a loser “your” president was - and is.

[GraceG]

Liberal Denial....

How far along are we in the five stages at this point?

[BitWielder1]

Whatever HuffPo says, I'd put my money on the opposite.

“Cruz was never interested in being a serious U.S. Senator.”

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Coming from HuffPo. Mesmerized supports of Obama.

That's RICH!

[Puppage]

His service in the Senate was just another bullet point to add to his resume, a quick stop en route to the Oval Office....

He wrote the same screed about Obama......riiiight?

His decision to run for president should come as no surprise. Cruz was never interested in being a serious U.S. Senator. He had no desire to develop strong relationships with Senate colleagues, and diligently work to turn conflict into consensus, all with an eye towards getting things done as a lawmaker.

Somebody needs to tell YoBammie! that we have a so-called "first black president" who did the exact thing YoBammie! is accusing Cruz of doing here. Marxist are loons.

[Gaffer]

So....that’s like a picture of Bama and Mooch behind him, right?

Anyone here ever heard of this guy before today?

He keeps sending me e-mails asking for my bank account information. Something about an inheritance from his long lost uncle Motombo

[C. Edmund Wright]

What award did he get? Biggest liberal dumb bass?

Bet he hates Walker too. I bet he predicted defeat for Walker at every step. (he’s from Wisconsin).

I bet I like everyone he doesn’t.....

[Theodore R.]

It’s not “liberal denial” for the American people who have for decades embraced liberalism. Even when they vote “conservative” a time or two, they are soon back in the liberal camp looking for “free things”.

[C. Edmund Wright]

I stand corrected. This dude is a big Walker fan.....and yet, doing the liberals’ dirty work in the Huff Po. What a sell out.

“His service in the Senate was just another bullet point to add to his resume, a quick stop en route to the Oval Office’

Remove “his” and replace with “her” and guess who ya got!

“Why Ted Cruz Is Not a Serious Contender for President in 2016”

It seems like these guys are trying to convince themselves more than anyone else.

From editorial :”If we can hold on to 41 Republicans in the Senate or 218 Republicans in the House, we can actually succeed in defunding Obamacare,” Cruz told Sean Hannity of Fox News. “

Except Obamacare funding was exempt from shutdowns so it remained funded the entire two week shutdown. Its funding didn't depend on a new budget being passed.

In fact a number of posts here explicitly warned about this.

So it was clearly untrue, shutting down the government would not defund Obamacare.
