Good. The earlier move was dumb, and tone-deaf, for anyone with presidential ambitions.

That's just it Zhang Fei, we're not looking for someone with Ambitions, or who is going to strategize on policy positions, or change to fit his audience like Iowa and the Renewable Fuel Standards, Which Scott was dead-set against originally, and now waffles on. What we are looking for is someone we can trust to lead consistently from a conservative position and as much as I detest Romney, that was one of two positions he took in the his last debacle of a run for POTUS that were actually conservative.

You don't make special rules for anyone because they are "too big to fail".

They needed to go through the Bankruptcy process rather than raping the American tax-payer like they did.

Give me a leader, like Ted Cruz, that is consistent in his positions and consistently a full-spectrum, consitutional conservative.

And while I don't agree with all of his actions/positions, I do agree with him 95+ of the time and that is enough for any committed conservative.

If people can force themselves (force...sure they did) to vote for a guy with a more liberal record than Barry, they can damn well force themselves to vote for Ted Cruz...unless they aren’t the conservatives with the conservative beliefs they claim to be.

We'll return to this subject on Election Night, but my prediction is that Cruz will not win the nomination. And if he wins the nomination, he will lose the election. He's my favorite candidate of the lot, but I don't think he's got the charisma to win. He comes off as a prosecutor who'd like to put you away, in the same way that Romney came off as the boss who'd like to outsource your job. There's no rhyme or reason to it, but charisma matters, and Ted has negative charisma.

That’s right every other candidate acts or reacts out of feelings about right and wrong, Cruz has a different filter from which he positions himself, that filter is the Constitution; is any given position constitutional, that is his scale from which he believes he will find the proper balance regardless of how you may feel.

By observation it is evident at least to me that other candidates don’t have a thorough understanding of the adequacy of our Constitutional Free Republic.
