TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Culture/Society; Philosophy; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: cruz; elizabethwarren; goldwater; tedcruz
I think Ted Cruz is somewhat a combination of Reagan, Goldwater, Learned Hand, Agnew (for the way he challenges the press) and Jack Kemp.

A lot of FReepers are making fun of Warren at their own peril. Here's the thing:

White blue-collar and working-class voters have left the Democrat Party in droves. In 2016, there will be a big drive to woo them back. That is why Obama is resurrecting income inequality, minimum-wage, and other class-warfare issues to set the plate for 2016.

Now we all know that Warren is a phony populist (as well as a phony Indian), she herself is an elitist snob and she has about as much in common with the working man as Obama does. But she is an excellent stump speaker, and low-information working voters will flock to her. They'll especially vote for her if Jeb Bush is the GOP nominee.

So dismiss Warren at your own peril, but if she's nominated she'll be tough to beat.

I’m really please with the Tyler hire. Managing a genius with an unfortunate SQUIRREL! predilection like Newt must be nerve-wracking, so he’ll be on the lookout to keep Ted purely focused and avoid traps for him.

Imagine how agonizing it must have been for Cruz to watch zero snake up through the ranks to suffocate our Republic.

Really looking forward to America discovering the huge heart and fierce determination that powers Cruz.

Cruz compared to Phocahantas is similar to truffles and rotten milk.

He’s already going after that issue, and they’re furious about it:

Agnew (for the way he challenges the press)
As a Nixon speechwriter at that time, Pat Buchanan lays claim to Agnew’s "nattering nabobs of negativism” line.

Yes, I know. Pat can be very wrong and he can be spot on.

If they could the GOP would embrace Elizabeth Warren.

I was checking Facebook and clicked on a Nephews Page.

He is in his late 20’s, served in Iraq and Kuwait while in the Air Force and is recently Married.

What did I see, two pictures of Lieawatha Warren in the “LIKES” section of his Page.

We are toast, no doubt about it.

Might be the “Air Force” part that is doing it. Not to paint with too broad a brush, but I found them to be more liberal than the other services. Plus, not everyone in the service joins for the same reasons.
