The first announced GOP presidential candidate of the 2016 election cycle suddenly has plenty of company … which according to him is a good thing.
U.S. senator Ted Cruz – whose March 22 announcement broke the 2016 seal – now has five fellow “Republicans” seeking the same nomination he’s after. In fact the GOP field doubled this week with the addition of retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee to a slate already featuring Cruz and his senatorial colleagues Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida.
According to Cruz, the more the merrier …
“The entry of three more candidates into the 2016 GOP primary this week is terrific news for our party and indicative of the strong field of candidates that will compete in the 2016 cycle,” Cruz said. “I welcome Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and Gov. Mike Huckabee into the race. All are individuals for whom I hold immense respect and who have inspiring stories that will energize Republicans across the country and get them engaged in the important issues before us.”
Interesting tactic …
Wonder if Cruz – who has vowed to run a positive campaign – will say the same thing if he ends up in an eleventh hour dogfight with one of them?
What is Huckabee’s “inspiring” story. Looking a thousand years older and more worn than Ted?
Ted Cruz Ping! He was born into poverty or some such.
I don’t doubt he’s a good and honest man but the “slave to their libidos” stuff shows how out of touch he is. He is a drag on the party in my opinion, and you can bet we’ll hear that line over and over if it suits PantSuit
jhmo
Ted Cruz just lost my vote!
Not really but I wanted to be one of the cool kids club too.
"We are seeing a great awakening.
A national movement of We the People, brought together by what unites us -
a shared love of liberty, and an understanding of
the unlimited potential of free men and free women."Ted Cruz
LMAO.
We should all preface our posts with it. The FR Libs would have to find a new meme. They don’t like mockery much...
He can make ‘er mean squirrel brisket along with them thar french fried pertaters...
rofl!!!! I’m trying so hard to be kind because I know he is liked by many on the board and he is a nice guy, it seems.
In a Brigham Young kind of way.
Don’t be fooled. Huckabee is basically a Republican version of Biden.
He’ll cut your heart out while smiling and strumming his guitar.
lol. I cant imagine what he called Megan Kelly after that infamous episode.
” Ted Cruz just lost my vote!

Har har, Norm. Rove hasn’t got enough money to buy yo ah !
He was born a poor black child.
OK. Ted Cruz has gone way too far with the mudslinging and vicious attacks on his opponents. This has really got to stop! Oh wait....
Never mind.
I’m willing to entertain offers.
but I’m a lot more expensive than most ‘conservatives. I might go as high as 2 pats on the head, not just a kick in the teeth like they asked for.
“He’ll cut your heart out while smiling and strumming his guitar.”
Isn’t it a banjo?
What a holdout!
He has! And I for one refuse to stand for it. Its fine when Mitt sends out his attack squad to thrash the entire right wink and help kill some kids with his donations to planned Parenthood though. I got my priorities in order! I’m a conservative!
