So, the Constitution is not a plan? A wise plan? One which if followed has led to wealth and justice?

So Cruz asking for a return to the Constitution is not a plan?

I prefer underpants gnomes over underpants sniffers like Derek Hunter.

Yeah, hostility was probably too strong.

What has been surprising to me though is how intense the pushback is when anyone choses Walker over Cruz.

Must be a subconscious thing.

Following Ted Cruz closely over the past year convinces me that

1. He wants to be President.
2. He would have no trouble with leadership.
3. He has clear principles elucidated daily (follow him on Facebook and he incessantly elaborates on his ideals and principles).
4. His plans derive from his principles and would benefit the country.

Step one: Fight.

Step two: Keep fighting.

Step three: Keep fighting until you win.

“To accomplish this requires a sea-change in the hearts and minds of Americans. Focusing on an election or even a series of elections puts the cart before the horse.”

Absolutely correct, sir. Too many clamoring for more conservative nominees fail to see that the American People aren’t as conservative as they are.

That arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania is the perfect example why the majority of Senators make lousy presidents

I’ll wait until he decides on his own if he wants to run for president. I don’t speculate and neither should you.

What Cruz doesn’t realize, or hopes you don’t realize, is Democrats and the White House will never negotiate.

The author gives us two and only two options from which to choose the "truth" about Ted Cruz. Either:

1. Cruz is too stupid to realize Democrats and the WH will never negotiate.

OR

2. Cruz is betting that conservatives are too stupid to realize that Democrats and the WH will never negotiate.

So, according to Derek Hunter, (who claims to respect and admire Senator Ted Cruz), either Cruz is stupid or Cruz is deceitful...pick one!

I'm not buying what you're selling here, Derek Hunter.

I look forward to reading how I’m awful and “the problem” in the comments

Wait no longer. You suck.

“he has no strategy to achieve it. “

Neither does the author but I see Cruz out there trying to do something. The author has done nothing but criticize Cruz’s efforts. Always the arrogant that speak the loudest.

But although his goals are admirable and shared by conservatives across the country, he has no idea how to achieve them.

Oh?

Give a SWORD and watch how easily the Gordian Knot becomes untangled!

If the entire GOP had the same political will and the same fighting spirit as Cruz, were willing to fully utilize all the tools at their disposal, if they realized the opposition are enemy bastards that deserve no consideration whatsoever, that the commie bastards need to be defeated by any means, they could actually accomplish turning our country around.

As it stands the GOP are complacent, ineffective country clubbers complicit in the ruin of this once great nation.

They need to go. The more damage Cruz can do to the business as usual crowd by exposing their aiding and abetting the commies, the better.

Cruz leads by example.

Principle and courage is indeed a plan.

BRAVO! BRAVO! THANK YOU! What all conservatives should see is that Cruz has Republicans tied up into knots six ways from Sunday. They despise him. And no, Derek Hunter, not because he doesn't "have a plan" but because he exposes them for the sniveling, cowardly, co-dependent, appeasing lot of do-nothings they are!!!

Yes, but you have to ask yourself, does your rule apply to Ted Cruz or Mike Lee?
