Ted’s serious. He’s gotten good previews.

On the other hand, Hillary’s coronation tour has flopped.

With the Dems suddenly looking more beatable, I see a land rush on the R side.

I read one story that identified 23 already exploring a run.

The D side is all about the Chicago Mob. If they stand down or support Hillary, she’s in. If they roll out Baraq 2.0, she’s toast.

Hahahaha! With all the union goons, stupid college kids, OFA, Young Democrats and assorted other minions, they can’t fill a hall? Wow.

Oh my. Sen. Cruz would destroy Grandma Clinton in the debates. The Democrat media would savage him for being mean to Grandma because she has “earned” the presidency, having covered her adulterous husband’s hindquarters during MonicaGate. It would not be a dull campaign.

Sounds as if Hillary is “Bill and Ted’s Great Adventure”.

Cruz attended high school at Faith West Academy in Katy, Texas,[33] and later graduated from Second Baptist High School in Houston as valedictorian in 1988.[18] During high school, Cruz participated in a Houston-based group called the Free Market Education Foundation where Cruz learned about free-market economic philosophers such as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Frédéric Bastiat and Ludwig von Mises.[27] The program was run by Rolland Storey and Cruz entered the program at the age of 13.[25]

Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1992.[2][7] While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society’s Debate Panel and won the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992 North American Debating Championship.[34] In 1992, he was named U.S. National Speaker of the Year and Team of the Year (with his debate partner, David Panton).[34] Cruz was also a semi-finalist at the 1995 World Universities Debating Championship, making him Princeton’s highest-ranked debater at the championship.[35][36] Princeton’s debate team later named their annual novice championship after Cruz.[35]

Cruz’s senior thesis on the separation of powers, titled “Clipping the Wings of Angels,” draws its inspiration from a passage attributed to President James Madison: “If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.” Cruz argued that the drafters of the Constitution intended to protect the rights of their constituents, and the last two items in the Bill of Rights offered an explicit stop against an all-powerful state. Cruz wrote: “They simply do so from different directions. The Tenth stops new powers, and the Ninth fortifies all other rights, or non-powers.”[32][37]

After graduating from Princeton, Cruz attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995 with a Juris Doctor degree.[2][38] While at Harvard Law, Cruz was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.[7] Referring to Cruz’s time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, “Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant.”[19][39][40][41][42][43] At Harvard Law, Cruz was a John M. Olin Fellow in Law and Economics.[44]

Geez, do you mean Jeb Bush isn't a serious contender? Do you mean normal thinking folks around the country aren't anxiously waiting Jeb Bush's pearls of wisdom that will turn this country around?

LOL@Jeb Bush.

Cruz-2016.

I don’t think you could ask for a bigger contrast. Personal Integrity vs. Scumbaggery. Ted doesn’t stand a chance.

Cruz is my definite frontrunner. He will have to be Reagonesque enough to get to the we the people around the GOP institutions and media. I am hopeful.

Never heard of this Country Singer before (I’m not sure he’s listed) but I wouldn’t pay a penny to watch him in concert.
“..and through it all she’s a loving WIFE...” LOL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfU3hI8ML30#t=30

Looking back in time, learning hindsight’s always right.
We came together in ‘08, a defining moment we all can celebrate.
And now it’s 20-16 and this time I’m a thinking,
Guys, put your boots on and let’s smash this ceiling.

Oh I been thinkin’ about one great lady
Like the women in my life, She’s a mother, a daughter, and through it all she’s a loving wife.

Oh, there is something about her…this great lady.
Caring, hard working once a First lady
She fights for country n my family.
Now it’s time for us to Stand Up with Hillary
Hillary. Stand with Hillary

Don’t matter if you’re living across this great land in a red or a blue state. Cuz Our American Dream is at stake, and there’s some hard choices, that need to be made.

We’re needing a leader who’s tough and ready, whose got vision.
For me it’s Hillary. And that’s my final decision.

Oh I been thinking about one great lady
Like the women in my life
She’s a mother, a daughter, and through it all she’s loving wife

Oh there is something about her…this great lady
Caring, Hard Working once a First lady
She fights for country n my family
Now it’s time for us to Stand Up with Hillary
Stand America with Hillary

When a lefty praises your mind, you really have something to brag about.

According to Rolling Stone Mag, the singer is “unidentified”. (editorial comment by ME) I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED EITHER. (caps off)

I’ll bet he had papers published during his time there unlike the currant OCCUPANT of the White House when he was the top dog of the Harvard Law Review.

All kinds of them, that anyone can source. Remember, he was editor of THREE law reviews while there, not just one.
