Cruz Is da Man: And He's Gonna Be...45

Stamina’s an important thing. Going for the golden ring takes stamina. Lots of it. That’s why the sentient and patriotic are betting that Hillary Clinton won’t be up for the marathon a presidential election takes. Even as her so-called biography for multi-shekels hits the shelves, the better to grab acolytes not already inured to her astonishing flaws, failures, and flops, the apparent presidential contender might just not have the intestinal fortitude to make it across that delicate line.

Not so Senator Ted Cruz. He has already demonstrated tremendous integrity and resolve in his 21-hour stand-up in front of Congress, a filibuster that gave an inkling of the mettle – and metal – of this 44-year-old conservative senator from the great state of Texas.

Did you know that this man of accomplishment is only 44? Did you know that his father, now a pastor, came to this country at 18, to get a job as dishwasher in a fast-food place, and refused to take a nickel from the U.S. government?

When we caught up with the attractive, and very personable, Senator Cruz, it was Sunday, 1 June.

Talk about stamina: he had, by the time we had the immeasurable pleasure to listen to and exchange witticisms with the man, been on the This Week with George Stephanopoulos Sunday a.m. news and discussion program. So that is a 10 a.m. call, with makeup and prep for an hour before airtime. Because Sunday was the annual mega Celebrate Israel Parade beginning at 11 a.m., hard by the ABC studios, Cruz had time for a bite, perhaps, before he attended the post-parade free concert in Central Park, which we also attended. Some 10,000+ pro-Israel Americans rocked the music venue concert in the gorgeous late spring/early summer sun...

I preface my comments by stating that I send Sen. Cruz a few bucks each month.
When I read this article, I was struck by the similarity to articles written in the past about the One.
Cruz was described as handsome, attractive, intelligent, quick witted, gifted with great stamina, a steel spine and so on.
The only thing missing was he is clean and does not speak like a black man except when he wants to, and I have not heard that his wife refers to him as ‘my babydaddy’.
If Cruz does run I will support him, even though he has some of the same eligibility issues as the Big Zero, namely whether or not he is a natural born citizen.
My reservations are not based on anything Cruz has said or done, as the article says, he is the real deal, at least until he proves that he is not and I see no reason to believe that he will do so.
My reservations are based on the idea of putting faith in any one man. Some Americans did this in ‘08 and ‘12, though whether he actually won or stole those elections is debatable, and you can see the horrible results all around us.
I will continue to support Cruz with my meager bucks and will speak for his election if he chooses to run, but I will watch him like a hawk and with the first betrayal of conservative principles I will promptly abandon ship.
I hope and pray Cruz is the real deal, not because I want to back a winner, but because if he is not and wins the presidency, the job the Big Zero has started he will finish.
