Good, but now we need to convince a whole lot of RINOs to run so they moderates don’t give us another Mcain or Romney. This time their vote needs to be split.

No matter who gets the republican node, he or she HAS to beat any demodummie candidate pushed forward. This nation has to be taken back to being what it once was, PERIOD!

Let’s put it this way... if you’re not gearing up now, you have no chance to jump in later and have any kind of shot. You can always choose to not run, even after laying the groundwork. It’s hard to lay the groundwork if you suddenly decide to run.

Cruz control 2016.

Hate to place my faith in anyone, it’s typically asking for trouble.

Still, I’d place my horrifically devalued dollar on Cruz over the entire lot.

So far he’s the only name I like.

And I really like his name:

Theodore means “man of God”.

Cruz means “cross”.

Sounds like destiny.

That’s a fact.

Cruz is the only one who I could live with if he lost. Wat’s sad is that America tunes out so 2-3 debates will make THE difference.

Apparently Cruz and Paul are making enough waves that the media now thinks it’s
necessary to bring their fathers into the campaign mix.

Media are already trying to label him: Firebrand

Firebrand?

The GOP hasn't had one of those in ages. Firebrand sounds better than the mussy-middle-of-the-roaders the GOP usually has running.

Cruz is the man . .Period! It won’t be long until the leftist shills in the press show evidence that he pulled a girl’s pigtail in 3rd grade!

So far the names I’ve seen thrown around most are Cruz, Perry, Christie, Jeb Bush, Paul, and Romney. I think Paul’s going to have his segment of the primary voters, but not much else, just like his father. Bush, Christie and Romney certainly all qualify as RINOS. If we could ditch Perry early (and given his problems from 2012, that may not be too difficult), that would leave Cruz, Paul and a bunch of RINOS. Maybe some cause for optimism?
