What she said.

[Qwackertoo]

Ted Cruz 2016. Ben Carson would make a good choice for HHS Secretary.

[lonevoice]

Steady as she goes, Senator Cruz.

[VerySadAmerican]

And don’t you know the democrats, and their followers (voters) will start screaming “He’s only been a senator a few years. He doesn’t have the gravitas.”

[Lake Living]

Tray Gowdy for Attorney General (or Mark Levin).

[The Cajun]

Tray Gowdy for Attorney General (or Mark Levin).

Add Allen West as Sec. of Defense and Sarah Palin as Sec. of Commerce and we'll have Lib. heads exploding all over the place.

[Dagnabitt]

Ted needs to get Rand Paul (and clowns like Huckabee and Santorum) out of the way quickly and emerge as the only alternative to the ONE moderate who will be running.

I would love to see at least two of Jeb/Krispy/Mitt in the race so they can split the squish vote - but I suspect that they and the donor class will sort that out before the primaries even start.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Ted Cruz advisor on 2016: “At this point it’s 90/10 he’s in. And honestly, 90 is lowballing it.”

[2ndDivisionVet]

If you’ve read his bio, you know how silly that would be.

[4Runner]

These latte journalists make me wanna puke. What the hell does “only 843 days left” actually mean? Is that supposed to indicate that the brain needs to be reset to understand this is really (you dummies) a SHORT period of time? Is there anyone who can hold their breath for 843 days? Does anyone understand how much damage a POTUS can do in just ONE day? Where the hell do they get these writers from anyway?

[Thorliveshere]

Agreed. 843 days 843 days too long for that man to stay in office.

[VerySadAmerican]

Do you not think the democrats could get away with saying Cruz doesn’t have enough experience? And every voter would parrot the line. And they’ll all say it with a straight face.

[2ndDivisionVet]

He’s everything, and more, that they claimed Barack Obama was in 2008. Go read his bio, we’ll wait.

[saintgermaine]

What it will take is some one with guts and the balls to back it up, not some linguine spine wimps who constantly try to appease and reach across the isle.

[Missouri gal]

How is it the dems/media have not yet started attacking Cruz with the fury they have flung at Sarah Palin? Could it be
a) they already know the fix is in for Mittens or other RINO
b) they don't care who the Republican nominee will be, bc they're sure their nominee will be the next president
c) Cruz is another pretend conservative like Juan McC or Mittens
d) other

FWIW, I love Cruz and expect to support him, but I feel like Charlie Brown with Lucy holding the football.

[SoConPubbie]

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

[Fraxinus]

I will go with other. Ted Cruz’s greatest strength and greatest weakness is one and the same. He relishes his self chosen role as chief fire eater of the Republican senators. Conservative republicans love him for his stands making both the establishment squishes and democrats squirm, the press will use these actions to demonstrate that he is too extreme.

[Fresh Wind]

And don’t you know the democrats, and their followers (voters) will start screaming “He’s only been a senator a few years. He doesn’t have the gravitas.”

I've even heard some FReepers say that.

[2ndDivisionVet]

You think that they’re not attacking Cruz yet? Put in “tedcruz” in keyword search here.

[VerySadAmerican]

I’m not arguing with you. I’m saying the dems will harp and harp that he’s not qualified and they’ll get away with it because of help from the media.
