I am so proud that we have Sen. Cruz representing TX in the US Senate. I’m convinced that he is the “real deal”.

There’s a reason I don’t endorse Sarah Palin now - well, three. Ted Cruz is one of them. Another is that I don’t know what Rick Perry might do and the third is I don’t know if Sarah is going to run.

Did anyone hear Mark Levin say that he hopes his friend Cruz does decide to run in 2016? Mark loves Sarah Palin. Sarah announced she was not running in 2012 by calling Mark to tell him on air. So Mark is not opposed to her. What he is, is thinking that the legal knowledge and communication skills of a Ted Cruz are what is needed to save the country.

Mark’s working on a project. Studying, writing, thinking, and soon he will put the results out there. I believe his conclusion will be that a candidate in 2016 must run on a platform explaining to Americans that liberals, leftists, Democrats (backed by the Media) are dead set on destroying the Constitution. And RINO Republicans are aiding and abetting them, knowingly or not.

Ted Cruz is uniquely prepared to run on that platform and carry that banner.

While I agree that such a conclusion has a lot of validity, I am convinced that the first order of business is to explain to Americans why the Constitution even matters.

We have fallen that far.

I think the next presidential candidate needs to aggressively define the election as a battle between liberty and tyranny -- two words, unfortunately, which have been expunged from the modern American political lexicon by the media, academia and our political culture.

I was out of the country for an extended period during the runoff. To get my ballot, I had some major hassles. Then there was getting it into the overnight courier. Bottom line, it cost me about two days labor and $85 to make sure that I voted Cruz in the runoff.

That is why he won. hundreds of thousands of people were willing to walk across whatever broken glass was in their path in order to cast their Cruz vote.

That part of it will be included.

Anyone as smart and informed as Mark Levin and Ted Cruz would not put that out there and fail to explain why the Constitution matters.

Count on it.

Despite the media harassment, Ted Cruz is kicking tail and taking names.

I believe that is probably why Texas sent him.

I am proud of Texas for having elected him. Now, why don't you folks talk some Texan to him and get him to stay in the Senate?

This Cruz could become one of the great Americans. Unfortunately, the circumstances of his birth prevent him from running for President.

If The SCOTUS defines 'NBC' for Presidential Candidates and he fits the description, I'll vote for him. But right now, according to me, he is not eligible under Article II. And unless you and the other Cruz-ers are cashing SCOTUS paychecks, my opinion is as good as anyone's.

Cruz could impress me further by forthrightly addressing the issue and demanding that The SCOTUS do its gd job!

I think you are right and a ticket with Palin and Cruz in either order would be fantastic. Hopefully, neither will be corrupted by that prospect. I only say that because it seems that when you whisper "president" in some ones ear, they start getting whacked out ideas of what they need to do to win. Take Rubio and Paul for example. I hope Cruz is solid enough to resist. I suspect he is.
