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.
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.
I love and will support Louie Gohmert, and have said so many times here on FR. I would also like to refer you to Ted Poe, another super conservative that I would support for TX Senator.

I would like to see Mr. Gohmert as our next senator—I think he’s the “real deal” also.
