Shots fired. Cruz is the only candidate to notice, he told us, and nobody listened. LISTEN UP.

I loved this best of all.

Cruz was spot on about the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks.

Described the Democrat Party perfectly.

Rush pointed out this Cruz line as well today.

Cruz's strongest attribute is his understanding of and devotion to the ideas essential to ordered liberty, as declared in America's Declaration of Independence and enshrined in the U. S. Constitution's strict limits on government power!

No other candidate exhibits such depth of understanding of the Constitution's supreme power as "the People's" limitation on its government.

Such understanding was the underlying strength of Reagan's resolve. Reagan had studied the Framers' ideas, understood their reasoning for structuring such a constitutional People's "chain" (Jefferson) on elected and appointed individuals in government, in order to "bind them down from mischief" (again, Jefferson).

If America is to survive as a place of refuge for oppressed peoples, then it must have a leader who protects that Constitution from threats from within and without!

Good. I’ll have to stream the show later and see what he said.

I actually got it last night when Ted Cruz said it, having studied the Russian Revolution in school. Like you said, Ted Cruz absolutely nailed it like one else has.

Supreme Court Justice Kennedy telling conscientious Christians to resign their government positions.

WTH? Did that happen? Do you have a link? When can we start impeachment proceedings? Oh, wait. Obama would just appoint someone worse.

Does anyone know what special ‘talent’ Cruz has - seems like he has a photographic memory or something similar? Or, perhaps he’s just really smart?

I’ve not noticed him looking at notes, etc. - he just presents facts, in detail, from memory.

He has an “audiographic” memory. Anything he hears he remembers. Would come in handy with Putin!

the U. S. Constitution's strict limits on government power

That right there is the most important concept in the political arena today, and 95% (or worse) of politicians and political commentators ignore it. All of our problems with government, from overspending to overregulation to weakness in the face of our foes, are due to the government doing things it has no authority to do and shirking its legitimate, constitutionally mandated responsibilities.

Hellfire, Obama told us and nobody listened. He told everyone exactly what he was going to do to this nation.

The Libs ate it up and the enough Republicans stayed home out of spite to allow the election fraud to give him the win.

Cruz’s analogy is a fair comparison, presented well, to a broad audience, and put some damage on the enemy. I disliked Cruz going into this primary, but he is steadily growing on me. He is smart, he is principled, he is brave and comes across as stubborn. Cruz hasn’t won me in the primary - yet - but I do hope that in the general I can vote for him somewhere on the ticket. President or Vice President, either or.

Don’t overthink it. What he meant
was the democratic candidates are just
different faces of the same thing ... socialism.

I know his special talent. He understands our Constitution and why it makes America great.

Cruz showed that he is the third surgeon on the stage. He took a scalpel to Harwood, and Harwood will never be the same.

Would come in handy when he attends his daily intelligence briefings (unlike the Kenyan Usurper). Wouldn't have to tell him twice.

Trotskyites (Bernie) versus Stalinists (Hillary).

He’s got to have a great memory, but I don’t know if it’s a natural talent, or just something he developed during his days as a college debater. Clearly, in a debate, the guy who can look at the audience and judges 100% of the time is scoring points over the guy who is shuffling around his note cards, looking down, and pausing a lot.

I noticed. Given that he was saying the two wings of the Democratic party are both Communists, with difference without a distinction being how fast they want to get there, I was surprised the commie moderators didn’t take the bait.
