Make her VP DeVal Patrick or Cory Booker and she’s every bit as “black” as Hillary.
That might not be anything to brag about. Most people I know hated the Occupy movement.
Release the clowns.
She has degrees from the University of Houston with a degree in speech therapy (national university rank #190) and George Washington Law.
She a fake on da make.
Don't bet on it.
Cruz ain't Mitt. He knows what he is doing.
I thought her law deg was from Rutgers?
She graduated from the University of Houston and Rutgers Law School. Rutgers isn't even considered a Third Tier Law School. They have a word for that: It is FRAUD! And it is a CRIME punishable by jail time and fine.
The ONLY reason she was at Harvard is because she LIED about her ethnicity for her entire career. It is one thing to misinterpret your genealogy and heritage. It is another to actively use that FALSE narrative to gain financially through affirmative action hiring benefits.
If she weren't an Injun, she would be a middle ranked law grad.
Cruz can certainly win. Either against Hillary or Warren. He would rip a least some of the Latino vote from the Dems. He also would energize the base. Those millions who stay home as a protest against the RINO’s.
Also, there is little chance that Hillary or Warren could energize Blacks to vote at the rate that Obama has. Without 95% of the black vote, and a large turnout of same, can the Democrats win.
A GOOD VP. A strong BLACK CONVERVATIVE VP as a running mate, Cruz could walk away with it.
But remember in 2008, John Edwards and Hillary Clinton split the anti-Obama vote. That the media was cheering for Obama was clear: they knew of the Edwards affair and love child but withheld the information until Obama clinched the nomination.
‘Because I used to live in Massachusetts, and the only places I could visit without getting called a masshole were Rhode Island and New York.’
Lol. I used to live in MA. First heard the term masshole in NH. A woman I met in Lincoln asked me if she could reveal how she & the others in NH refer to ppl from MA. I said yes. Out popped ‘Massholes’. I’ve heard it a lot since then. There’s no denying it. Ppl from MA tend not to be all that popular in a lot of places.
I do think they will run Warren. Hillary is a terrible campaigner, & now she has health issues, Benghazi & Boko Haram hanging over her. She gets a lot of buzz, but when push comes to shove it will be Warren.
Happily, Obama ruined it for the Faux Indian. Voters were willing to try hope & change once, & to get swept up in the whole ‘first black POTUS’ routine. But Obama has tanked the economy, totally blown Benghazi, inflicted Obamacare on us [it will just keep getting worse, the longer it’s in place], & has now released the worst of the worst terrorists. Things are on a downhill slide for him. Not even low info voters will be chafing for more of the same. 2016, if the Lord tarries His return, will not be The Year of the Dem—& it certainly won’t be the year of the Moonbat from MA.
My prognostication for 2016.
If Hillary is healthy and decides to run, it will be a coronation nomination. The Indian princess has no chance of beating Hillary, not in 2016.
GOP candidates:
Christy....if he can win in blue NJ, he can win nationally.
He will be best in debates with his pugnacious bull dog style. But he is not my first choice, or second, or third. But it would be an exciting series of debates.
Rand Paul...if he can beat GOPe candidate in KY primary, he can win many states. Who else in GOP can win straw polls in CPAC and also get standing Ovation in U of C Berkeley? But he is not at top of my wish list. May not have a steely backbone to be a transformational president.
Ted Cruz...Best thing going for him is he can mobilize conservative votes. But he may also mobilize Hillary voters. You can bet on MSM attacking him more than others in GOP. There is no one better in pure debating skills in GOP. He is at top of my wish list. The country will be transformed.
Scot Walker...another politician who can win in purple Wisconsin. Survived recall vote in spite of unions spending millions. I worry about his debating skills and seems a bit too mild. But he would make a very good president.
Gov Perry...I like him a lot. But what else will he forget at crucial moments in front of whole country watching? That prospect scares the jeebus out of me. I just do not see his memory will have improved after 4 more years since last debacle.
Jeb Bush....country is not ready for another Bush, period.
I can not see how he can win against Hillary. But he has money and connections in GOPe. I sincerely hope he does not win nomination.
There are others but they have not given any indications of running, yet.
I don't disagree with you, but only the Conservative side will vote for him based on his Conservative views. The lefties will vote for who ever the Dem choice is, especially if the Dems can keep the freebies coming.
That leaves the middle for us to compete for, which is moving to the left anyway. The possibility of the first woman President may be too much for Cruz to overcome, regardless of how capable he is.
He could win the debates as far as Conservatives are concerned, but will that be enough?
He would rip a least some of the Latino vote from the Dems.
If you're thinking that identity politics are going to be a factor, at least half of the Latino vote could be just as likely to vote for a woman. I doubt we could get 100% of the other half. Hopefully, he could win many over with his Conservative values.
He also would energize the base. Those millions who stay home as a protest against the RINO’s.
That's a possibility, but I doubt that count is in the millions.
Also, there is little chance that Hillary or Warren could energize Blacks to vote at the rate that Obama has. Without 95% of the black vote, and a large turnout of same, can the Democrats win.
What do you base that on? I don't see that.
A GOOD VP. A strong BLACK CONVERVATIVE VP as a running mate, Cruz could walk away with it.
Among Conservatives, easy. Among lefties, no way, because they think he's an idiot to begin with. That leaves the middle, and they've gone left the past two elections.
When is the last time a strong Conservative ran in the general election for POTUS? Hint? It was more than thirty years ago. What could we lose by trying it?
I don’t disagree, but we have to get him or her nominated first. Given the leftward shift in the population in general, that won’t be easy.
Well, if we don’t have five conservatives and one RINO running, we have a chance. Regardless, I feel so much damage has bee done and so many people are so stupid, we may be too late.
The Dems are going to be hard to beat as long as they can keep buying votes with tax payer funded freebies, anyway.
