How about we send some seed money to Cruz’s campaign and attend as many Cruz speaking events as possible?

At this point in time it is not about winning or losing.
I look forward to Cruz being part of the GOP debates. Maybe we will be spared contraception questions.

Where do you and Ted part company on the issues?

He’s the least “RINO”-ish candidate we’ve had in generations.

Cruz campaign asked for a donation yesterday and I sent one. Never again will the GOP itself see a nickle from me.

He’s smart. He has a game plan. This is just the opening salvo and he’s already living in their heads rent free...

Good strategy. Run against both parties and DC elites in general.

Exactly right as the elites run both parties.

The Globalist are in both parties and I suspect Cruz is NOT a Globalist like Bush or Clinton.

Washington wants to keep pushing the Obama agenda.

Even if he doesn’t win, Cruz will influence the winner and that is something the Republican Party desperately needs if it wants to survive the 2016 elections.


Influencing the direction of the campaigns is huge.

That said, I could not care less about the Republicans. I won’t vote Jeb. Jeb or Hillary really isn’t enough of a difference.

While I personally thing Cruz has next to no chance of winning, I DO love this aspect of his candidacy.

Oh, he has a good chance of winning. All Cruz needs is exposure. Once people see and hear what he has to say, they'll respond.

It's gonna be Reagan all over again...

Ah, that will be the kind of thing people debating Cruz will have going on in their heads.

I don’t think he has “no” chance of winning although he’s definately a long shot.

I agree with that. I also think that even if he doesn't win, even the Republican nomination, that it won't mean he hasn't accomplished anything. He's accomplishing things right now. And you never can tell.

"Cruz campaign asked for a donation yesterday and I sent one. Never again will the GOP itself see a nickle from me."

I did the same, and I feel the same about the GOP. They haven't gotten any of my money for a while now, and they never will.

That exposure cavest is pretty significant, too.

It’s not just that Cruz needs exposure, he needs the right kind of exposure. And that means being able to cut through the wall of MSM nonsense and make his case directly to the public.

He’s the most articulate champion of Conservatism we have right now. Being effective in doing that (iow getting the right kind of exposure) will let us know how good he is at organization building and communications tactics.

I told people about Cruz that i thought wouldn’t have an idea who he is because they are not very political. I was pleasantly surprised they not only knew who he was but had positive things to say about him.

I think Cruz’s decision to announce early was a smart one.
