".....Cruz opened by stating that he tried to think about what Levin would tell him:"Ted, keep it short:defend the Constitution, repeal Obamacare, and kill the terrorists. And I've gotta say,that pretty much sums it up."..
.."Justice Scalia was an American hero..a lion of the law,he loved the Constitution,he loved freedom. I had the blessing of knowing Justice Scalia for 20 years...Justice Scalia, in three decades on the court,changed the arc of American legal history,singlehandedly shifted the Constitution and the interpretation of it back to the original understand,back to the text and words adopted by the framers. As Ronald Reagan was to the presidency,so too Justice Scalia was to the US Supreme Court..his passing leaves an enormous void on the Court......we are one justice away from a five-justice radical left-wing majority the likes of which this country has never seen."
[BIG SNIP]
.."[I]t is not one but two branches of government that hang in the balance." Cruz pointed out that Democrats always get it right:their nominees are always consistent. "Republicans..bat less than .500."
Why? Cruz said,"It's not that Republicans secretly want to put Republicans on the Court. It's that we've had too many Republican presidents who don't value the Court,value the Constitution enough to spend the political capital to confirm a real conservative." Cruz railed against "stealth candidates...If you've lived fifty years of your life and you've never said or written or done anything to demonstrate you're a conservative,you ain't."
That,too,was a nicely-disguised slap at Trump.
Cruz concluded:"Here are the stakes of this election. If, God forbid,we elect Hillary Clinton or Sen. Bernie Sanders or some other socialist, we will lose the Court for a generation. But if,God forbid,we elect some Republican who makes the same mistakes as the Republicans of the past...we will see our fundamental rights undermined for a generation....

That’s why your head is on straight!
I don’t know that Ted follows his dad’s beliefs. If you’re going to go there then a Mormon is really off your radar.
You do know that Trump cheated on his wives, bragged about it in a book and bragged that he did other powerful men’s wives too all while married. He also brought strip clubs to casinos.
Yet he’s just fine morally.
I think your compass is broken.
Cruz bots won’t ne here Saturday night.
Everybody forgets about Reagan’s ‘kitchen’ cabinet. They were his money men helping him get elected governor and president.
Your reasoning sums it up very well, 2nddivisionvet
Let’s hope for a strong Cruz surge today.
...and doing it with all the oily salesmanship of Joel Osteen.
My wife is in her fifties and is often , no... always, mistaken for being in her thirties.
No make up, no Botox, no surgeries.
It could actually be possible that it’s about the genes.
Not to mention, clean living.
Congratulations on your pretty wife.
Define “clean living”. Does cheating on your wives, and bragging about it count? Or what about cheating with other powerful men’s wives and bragging about it? Is that clean living?
I find it ironic that when Trump says that he's the man for the job, he's all egotistical and narcissist.
When Cruz says he's the right man for the job, he's just a humble and modest conservative looking out for us.
Much preferred to outright lies and deception. Don't' you think?
Oh, I forgot, you will never forgive Trump for Walker pulling out of the race.....
Does Cruz go around telling people what a “winner” he is and how others are “losers” all the freaking time? Trump is constantly telling us what a winner he is. Or go on how could anyone vote for someone with such an ugly face? And he’s been doing that stuff long before this campaign.
Compare this speech to anything Trump as ever said:

Give me two examples of outright lies.
It may not be over this time when you vote.....
I think it was Carson that got “burned” in Iowa, not Cruz.
I can’t think of a single primary that it has.
But here’s to hoping...
Carson burned himself with stupid actions and poor communications.
Going to Florida on the eve of the vote to get “clean clothes”. Really?
