My Turn: Cruz has best blueprint to move nation forward
The Concord Monitor ^ | December 11, 2015 | Archie M. Richards, Jr., for the Monitor

‘To restore America,” says Sen. Ted Cruz, “we must rein in the leviathan. We must revive our love story with liberty and restore America as a shining City on a Hill.”

How vital it is to cut back the power and intrusiveness of the federal government! When government is big, the rich gain wealth faster than the poor, because the rich induce government to help them. Liberals say they intend to help the poor, but their policies actually widen the gap between rich and poor.

Cruz is the best candidate to begin a reversal.

“Never underestimate Ted Cruz,” said professor Alan Dershowitz of Harvard Law School. “He is off-the-chart brilliant.” Plus, the man is a dynamic speaker.

To tackle the massive Social Security program, he will need this skill to persuade younger workers to convert to personal savings. Cruz has sponsored legislation that would repeal Obamacare. He wants health care subjected to free markets. Government’s deep involvement in American health care has reduced its quality and convenience and greatly increased its costs. A previous government shutdown of Obamacare, he notes, led to a blowout election victory for conservatives in 2014....

Cruz is my favorite candidate.

I stand by my theory that Trump has agreed to “catch the arrows” while Cruz moves in on the hidden realities of presidential campaigning. Trump is the one saying what most Americans are thinking but the only one willing to ignore the PC rules. Trump realizes this but likes Cruz so is willing to be the Trojan horse to bring Cruz to the presidency. That’s my theory at least. I would be happy to say President Cruz of Trump.

Honorable. It’s just that you’re wrong. Cruz for VP yes, Prez this time around, no. Trump/Cruz 2016 yes.

It’s certainly entertaining to watch some of the theories around these parts.

Cruz birtherism is a fool’s game, especially on this website.

This is such a winning argument for Cruz. It achieves a couple of things: it bolsters his argument for shrinking the government. He can say, "See, we shut down the government and the country still stands. Government ain't all that necessary."

The other thing it achieves is how it destroys the notion that government shutdowns hurt the GOP at the ballot box. Cruz can say that is bs because 2014 proves this notion as badly incorrect.

Donald Trump will never be President. It will not happen. And yes, I would bet a considerable amount of money.

There is NO applicable law, which enables kooks like you to go on and on about it. The Supreme Court has never ruled on it.

Ted Cruz is solid and able to destroy lib ideas.

If hitlery and Trump debate she will remind voters he donated to her. His excuses may not convince those who don’t support to vote for him. And since he hasn’t gone beyond the vague “make america great” it will be an issue if he doesn’t counter hitlery’s marxism with Conservatism.

Sorry trumpsters your guy has got to show more than a slogan to convince Conservatives he’s the real deal.
