I don’t think the democrats have made up their minds about Hitlary yet. And I certainly have yet to make up my mind about our candidate of choice. Waiting to see who the dems are most afraid of.

Many of those attending said they found Cruz, a Princeton Law School graduate, well-spoken and engaging, the Observer reported....


He went for undergrad at Princeton but I thought he was a Harvard Law graduate.

Not a big deal to me either way.

Cruz, a Princeton Law School graduate

Pretty tough to do, since Princeton has no law school.

I don’t think Hillary is going to be that hard to defeat. She’s old, ugly, and festooned with baggage. She has no charisma and her soul attribute is that it’s her turn in line. Bob Dole, McCain, Romney, and Gore were all a bunch of politicians without much whose turn came and sputtered out.

It's going to take a real conservative republican around a billion dollars to defeat Hillary.

There, fixed it.

Estimates are that each major party will need to raise around $1 billion for the 2016 election.

That means that the major candidates will need to announce relatively early. Otherwise, they may find the big money has been pre-allocated to other candidates.

That also means it will be more costly for the wannabes to hire staffs to get them on the ballots in the various state primaries. With some 32 potential candidates on the Republican lists, it is going to take a substantial amount just for the floaters to make it through the early weeks.

Ted Cruz could make a great pitch to Jewish voters: Imagine a world without Israel. Barack Obama does.

Cruz is far and away my first choice. Carson or Palin next choices.

...including a private two-hour session with billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson

That sounds very, very good.

If Cruz is a friend of Sheldon Adelson then he is no friend of America.

Adelson cares about two things: Israel and mass immigration. There is nothing conservative about him. He certainly does not care about conserving the traditional American nation.

The American Conservative just came out with this article on Ted Cruz, I’m reading it now. Maybe some of the Cruz supporters might want to post it if it is good.
