Ted Cruz Presidency makes Dan Pfeiffer nervous
The Myrtle Beach Examiner ^ | December 20, 2014 | Jesse Broadt

Posted on 12/20/2014 6:51:13 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Dan Pfeiffer, White House senior adviser, admitted that he is concerned about a Ted Cruz presidency, which would almost certainly result in an overturn of Barack Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty action. This indicates that Ted Cruz is likely the biggest threat to the progressive left for the upcoming 2016 presidential race.

The executive action game

Yesterday, Pfeiffer told the Wall Street Journal that the first 100 days of Obama's presidency was spent attempting undo many of W's policies through executive action, but admitted he hopes he will never be sitting somewhere reading about a President Ted Cruz doing the same regarding Obama's policies. Perhaps he sees the double standard there or perhaps he does not. At any rate, Pfeiffer said that 2014 was “a year of great progress” because of Obama's executive amnesty, the latter of which, according to Pfeiffer, was a great day for the “progressive agenda.” We certainly agree with that statement. The progressive agenda does many destructive things, and granting amnesty to criminals by executive action is just one example....

We want to vote for the guy or gal who strikes the most fear in the Democratic Party and right now that’s Ted Cruz.

The Republican party today reminds of how it was in 1979. It stood for nothing other than not being America-hating Democrats.

Then Reagan came along and the party saw conservatism as a winning governing principle. Since Reagan, the party has nominated GHW Bush, Dole, GW Bush (x2), Juan McCain and Mitt Romney. Not a real conservative in the bunch. Conservatives were relegated to the bottom of the tickets.

Cruz, through the force of his intellect and personality, could put a conservative stamp back on the Republican party for a generation.

My only concern about Cruz is his lack of executive experience.

Anybody that makes a lieberal “nervous” is A-OK with me.

Cruz has an additional advantage: He’ll make a superb President.

That is a biggie. Which is why I think it should be Scott Walker who can teach Ted Cruz what he needs to know to be able to become President in 8 years. Scott Walker is ready today, but Cruz could be his Vice President and learn the ins and outs needed to have some results. It really is a perfect scenario. It would make Cruz a better politician too. Win-Win!!!

Being Solicitor General of the second largest state for over five years is executive experience.

I don’t know enough about Walker. Executive experience is overrated anyway. Strong principles is by far the most important qualification.

What a coincidence!

I’m gonna have a lot more time on my hands in 2016 to escort Mr. Cruz all the way to the White House.

Define “Executive Experience”.

Then line that up with right mindedness, Conviction, ability to communicate effectively, and a Constitutional Core.

If you have all that and are smart enough to surround yourself with competent, loyal people, then a Chief of Staff can provide you with the necessary “Executive Experience”.

Cruz is the only candidate who will address the piracy of this nation through immigration.
Walker will sell out on this issue
It REALLY is TED or BUST

Dan Pfeiffer nervous = translates that Dan will do anything and everything to make sure that Cruz will be portrayed as unelectable. Cruz would within 5 hours end every single one of Obama’s executive decrees, actions, memorandum and orders. Poor Obama will pooping his pants even before his plane leaves Andrews Air Force Gase.
