Why Didn't The Gop Have Ted Cruz Give SOTU Response?

Posted on 01/21/2015 3:32:38 AM PST by Pajamajan

If anyone saw Ted on Fox News with Megan K-He had the focus group laughing- He was only on for a minute. Imagine what he could have done with the whole response.

Agreed.

And let’s face it, the ONLY thing thats going to be remembered from this SOTU is that Obama baited the Republicans with that campaign quip, then slammed the door shut on them when they fell for it.

I mean, can anyone else remember anything from the last dozen or so of these things, other than Joe Wilson’s (completely accurate, as it turned out) “You lie!” heckle, and Bobby Jindels’s disasterous GOP response performance?

Heck, does anyone know what the ratings even were for this one?

Because they are basically on the same “side” as ‘bammers - opposing the will of the people.

Cold water needs to be thrown on the populace to stir them from their Obama-induced stupor.

The populace woke up last November. It's the boneheads who run the GOP who just can't seem to get it.

Right! They just repackage the same ideas the Democrats put out for their sheep for their sheep. And their sheep love, adore, and defend them.

Because he would have been too effective.

When she started talking about her one pair of shoes and using plastic bread bags to protect them I lost interest. Ernst has a lot of redeeming values but the same old moderate political rhetoric ain’t going to get it. I’m afraid she got used by the GOPe. The GOPe obviously wanted to avoid someone “controversial” like Ted Cruz.

Thanks for the link to my Sen Ted Cruz’ SOTU/Robin D’Hood speech.

Cruz is spot on, as usual.

I’ll donate, right there with you, Crazieman!

Crude....

Ted Cruz was right, it wouldn't kill pubbies to lighten up and joke a bit.

If I offended your well honed and highly sophisticated sensibilities, I'm not sorry.

I do not need to lighten up, as I am a lady who laughs a lot, who likes to hear jokes, and who likes to tell jokes. Crude language is not a part of my amusement, however.

A gentleman should not need to be told to watch his language in the presence of ladies. I don’t know much about Ted Cruz, but I am betting he would agree with me.

The gop is bound and determined to lose. I see no hope for this election.

Just so that you could ask why they didn't -- and nobody could ask why they did.

Politicians don't crave over-exposure. They don't want to peak too soon and don't want voters to get tired of them too early.
