“...he seems to be already shifting to Cruz more.”

I’ve noticed that, too.
Does Goldman-Sachs deal in illegal goods or services? Are they slavers, drug lords, the mafia, Hell’s Angels or Murder, Incorporated? If not, what is your objection to her working at that particular firm? Everyone has to make a living or depend on welfare.
I tought she left her job to join Cruz’s campaign. Which is why he had to sign up for Ocare.
I care about him. not her. She ain't no !Hillary.
I worked for Cruz during his Senate run and gave him a little money. He got money from he when he announced for President.
Twice, so far.
I'll be sending him more money.
I don't do that lightly. He's the only politician I've sent money to first. I despise most politicians and can find a reason to drag most down, but Cruz is a real conservative. I'll be supporting him.

“A serious candidate for president will have to raise at least $1 million per day between now and election day 2016.”
You mean like the the kind of money John McCain was raising at this time during the 2008 primary?
Money is important in politics but it’s equally important to remember why that is so:
Money is message.
There are other ways to get your message out. Rush selling Walker has been a huge help. Cruz’ rollout and all the talk surrounding it will also pop in upcoming polls. El Jefe’s free media has made a splash as well, but unfortunately for him, the major emphasis of his exposure seems to have been to point out his support for immigration and common core.
Money has its place. Ask Eric Cantor if that’s all you need. Hell, ask Juan McCain if that was the difference maker in 2008.
If money is the only barometer, then let’s stop pretending and coronate El Jefe now.
I’m not sure if Cruz can survive all the fire coming from the Left—but I think their response indicates they both loathe and fear him. That will sit well with a lot of folks on the right.
We are in a new era of politics. For one thing, it looks to me like we won’t have a coronation at the National Convention but an old time battle for delegate votes on the floor and in the back rooms. I venture to say that very few potential delegates or politicians were active the last time that occurred so it will be a new lesson in strategy for all but a few—and make no mistake it is an form of politics that is an art.
The new era is all about getting to the voters directly via the new media instead of through the traditional TV networks and national newspapers.
The winning candidate will be capable of instant intelligent debate and repartee in town halls, tv interviews and the debates. If he gets as far as debates with Hillary, she will be in serious trouble.
Because I expect him to be a good campaigner, I think he will be able to craft a message to Latinos that will resonate with them, despite his stand on illegal immigration.
Finally, the candidate that wins in this TV era has to be photogenic, look like a President and No baby faces or fat boys need apply. Cruz is going to score very highly with voters in the beauty contest compared with some others.
I’m stocking up on popcorn. This looks like fun.
“Dispised by his Senate colleagues...”
All the Dems and the RINOs are dispicable so that is not a problem.
Anyone who is despised by LIBs and RINOs is a winner.
“Comments?”
***********
Savage is not only an outlier, he comes across as an idiot.
I am with Levin on just about every issue, including his endorsements of candidates. I think he will go with Cruz.
Ted Cruz. Accept no substitute.
WRONG.....it is because Republicans love to play the asinine game of "if it's not my favorite candidate, I'LL pout and not vote".....Democraats NEVER play that game....hence President Obama twice.....How'd that work out for them????.....I won't vote for Romney because he is Morman/ RINO/ Romneycare/ whatever....they'd rather accept Obama and blame "the establishment"....PATHETIC
I am not a Republican, if they want my vote they need to nominate a conservativd. Period.
Romney was a leftist who lied as much as Obama, he was pro-life in some states and pro-abortion in others.
He’s splitting the Evangelical vote with Huckabee and Perry in the primaries, either one or both need to concede early in order for him to win. Winning the general election is iffy unless Hillary the evil witch gets prosecuted for obstruction of justice and he gets to run against the second tier. My guess is the GOP pushes Jeb with Cruz as VP.
Yes, you aren’t the only one. Yeah his rhetoric is great but I’m interested in actions (of the legislative variety)and he’s a blank slate there. He’s obviously a very smart guy, but for some reason I’ve always been slightly wary of him. Talk is cheap, I want specifics and action.
That's over $570 Million Dollars.
The candidate will be selected in July so there will be 3-4 months with party and pac help.
Me thinks you pulled your million dollar a day number out of some orifice.
Well he's been around longer than you and I guess you missed his 21 hour solid filibuster in October of '13 which helped win the senate in '14.
Are you a plant from the left?
You can blame the voters all you want, but Romney ran one of the worst campaigns ever.
An unsuccessful filibuster that accomplished not much more than giving him a name and lots of press.
Are you a plant from the left?
lol, no just a Scott Walker supporter. More impressed by Walker's achievements, he willingly stuck his political neck out in a state where he could have easily lost support for sticking up to principle but was willing to risk it anyway. Nothing against Cruz, just wondering how he would fare in a general election. It's a lot easier winning on a conservative platform in Texas than it is in Wisconsin.
Maybe, but EVERYBODY knew who he was and what his background was....and EVERYBODY knew that Obama was an idiot and any Republican with a pulse would be a better choice.......NOPE, non-voters elected Obama.....
Yes, she quit her job; but the ties are still there.
