Rock solid in the polls in the face of the media attempt to erase him.

I hope it’s true that his maverick ways can not go too far with voters, because I REALLY want him to shut down the government over Planned Parenthood.

This article has some crap subtext. For example...

“In sum, there’s nothing Cruz could do short of pissing in the Yankee Bean soup in the Senate dining room that would be too outlandish...”

...implying that the actions Cruz does take ARE outlandish and not reasonable responses to gubbermint run amok.

I love Cruz as a candidate. Yes he is playing the long game, waiting to grab any and all supporters from Trump to Bush.

If Politico is touting Cruz (who is my favored candidate), then they are deathly afraid that Trump cannot be stopped, IMO.

Politico is in no way a conservative source.

But the idiotic Lowry couldn’t help himself....’Cruz misbegotten government shutdown” - only inside DC does anyone believe that chit. Did Lowry not see the results of the 2014 mid terms...the mid terms idiots like Lowry assured us that Cruz had lost?

Cruz support of TPA and increased H-1B visas will come back to bite him. He also supports legalization of the lawbreakers—no deportation.

The problem with Cruz & today’s electorate (on a national scale) is people want celebrity. They want charisma. They don’t want dry & wonkish. Policies and ideology matter little anymore.

You need to update your spiel. Cruz is now against the TPP/TPA bill.

(hypocritical whining about flip flopping incoming in 5...4...3...)

And I bet your candidate is a flip flopping recent former supporter of Hilary Clinton. Also, outside immigration, I bet your candidate is has basically the same views as Rudy Gulliani? Am I right?

Go ahead and support your Trojan Horse of a Candidate.

CRUZ 2016
