They don't write these diatribes for fun.

My hope is that he finds himself man handled by Cruz.

A lot of people think CSM is a quality source of news, and information. I think of them as NYT JV.

fiery, tea party senator

I've yet to see this? He's as even-keeled as it gets. He's careful, intelligent and mild. I guess if it is repeated enough, it becomes true.

Whistling past the graveyard, that delusional bunch of educated beyond their intelligence half-wits. Senator Cruz ducked the question of whether or not he would support the current POS. Reading between the lines, there will be a new leader of the Senate next term, and Senator Cruz will probably have a big office.

If elected, he’ll no doubt be the highest I.Q. president in history.

Ted Cruz is decades younger than McConnell. McConnell is in the waning years of his career, while Ted Cruz is only beginning his. He will be re-elected in Texas as long as he wants the office.

It’d be close, in my opinion. Referring to Cruz’s time as a student at Harvard Law, liberal Professor Alan Dershowitz said, “Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant.”

The journalist looks askance at Cruz doing the only thing he could do to actually fight Obamacare, that now most Americans hate and have been hurt by???? Cruz is more than vindicated.

When Cruz can write in Latin with one hand and Greek with the other, simultaneously, we’ll talk.

McConnell makes me sick. I literally despise him.

Who did 0 date? Who did he sit in class with? Whose wedding was he in? Who were his groomsmen?

Imagine the wonderful, historical pics and stories that will make up his pRez library!
