Double WOW!!!!!!
I love seeing these good stories about my senator from Texas!
I’m convinced he’s the real deal!

I’m from Arizona.
I’m convinced he’s the real deal to!!
If you only send one article to your Facebook, Twitter, e-mail and other social media contacts this week...
Wow is right.
I’m having a hard time believing my eyes. A fairly cogent and fair piece by a former Congressman of the Democrat persuasion.
Stunning.
Note that former Iowa Congressman Dave Nagle is a Democrat and union activist.
I stand with Ted
We are not a representative democracy.
That said, who best is positioned to assume his office as Texas Senator? It's vital that an individual every bit as Conservative as is Cruz be in that position. I'd personally like to see Louie Gohmert in that slot but the opinions of other FReeper Patriots may lead me to look at alternatives.
Dave Nagle was a smart and personable Dem. Unfortunately for him, his alcohol problem ended his political career.
He is so confident as a debater and so good that he offered debating advice to his opponents when he was running for the Texas Senate.
Who does that?
Funny thing is— we aren’t even close to seeing the best Ted Cruz has to offer. Right now, he’s just preparing his case to present to the court of public opinion. When he’s ready to make his argument, these other candidates won’t even know what hit them.
Cruz is 24/7— a brain that never sleeps.
What are we, then?
I told a friend recently I’d rather have the election between Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders. At least you would hear the truth no matter how bad it is on one side and the people would have a clear choice and we’d know where the country stood and could respond appropriately.
There is no doubt that Cruz is a sharp guy. But, I have several questions in no particular order and this is rhetorical.
1) being a skilled debater and attorney doesn’t necessarily mean that he has the requisite skills to lead the nation. So this is a major issue that Cruz is going to have to resolve. Leading the voters is not the same as governing.
2) Will Cruz have enough support in the congress to actually pass an agenda (i.e. repeal 0bamacare, abolish the IRS, etc.) At this point it doesn’t appear that Ted has too any friends in Congress and him winning the WH (even by double digits) will dislodge the limp-wristed Boehner or McConnell.
That’s the two real questions that Cruz needs to resolve. If he were the nominee would he have trouble with Juan McAmnesty, and/or Lindsey Grahmnesty after inauguration day. Now, if Cruz were to support a candidate in a primary challenge to McAmnesty, and that candidate were to win in the primary and general.... We would have a real sea change in congress. If McAmnesty were to survive a primary challenge and win the general Cruz would have a real problem.
To me, that is the lynch pin on any Cruz candidacy. A take-down of McAmnesty, would definitely be a shot at the limp-wristed leadership. Anything less than total victory, is going to be a disaster
I wish that my vote in the primaries mattered...the primary here is too late and the nominee has all but got it locked up by Mid April. when the primary is held in my state.
Does anyone have the list of Accomplishments and experiences of Ted Cruz? I saw it on FP some time back, and did not bookmark it, now I need to show others. It is very impressive. Thanks.
Ping.
But, somebody should remind him that this is not a “Democracy” .. it is a REPUBLIC.
