Exclusive: Doug Wead says 1 candidate represents the past, the other the future.
So what’s the difference between Republican presidential candidates Rand Paul and Ted Cruz?
Ted Cruz is running against Barack Obama. Rand Paul is running against Hillary Clinton. One represents the past. The other represents the future.
Both men are U.S. senators running for president in 2016. Rand Paul is from Kentucky, Ted Cruz from Texas. (Rand Paul is expected to announce his candidacy April 9.)
Both men are conservatives whose careers were launched during rise of the tea party. Both are born-again Christians. And both signed the controversial Senate letter supporting Israel. So if they have the same base of support, what’s the difference?
Rand Paul excites that base and motivates them to action. Ted Cruz has all but given up on that base and is focusing exclusively and only on born-again Christians. He is betting that he will take that vote, and only that vote, and win it all. It is a high-stakes gamble that counts on driving out of the way born-again Christians such as Rick Perry, Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio and, yes, even Rand Paul.
Bottom line: Rand Paul can win a national election. Ted Cruz cannot....

Former Ron Paul advisor (for a reason)...
RAND PAUL IS “NOT” A CONSERVATIVE.
HE IS A LIBERTARIAN - JUST LIKE HIS FATHER.
Since Ted Cruz took the same position on marijuana as Rand Paul, he will likely snarf up a fair chunk of Paul’s supporters.
Difference?
One.
Fifth place minus sixth place equals one.
He already is, although I don’t think marijuana is the big reason:

So that is your spam Cruz post?
Hillary has the nomination unless Val has more to dump. (She probably does)
“Ted Cruz has all but given up on that base and is focusing exclusively and only on born-again Christians.”
Obviously, this dude has never heard TC speak.
No, nor has he been following the Cruz campaign.
Rand Paul excites that base and motivates them to action. Ted Cruz has all but given up on that base and is focusing exclusively and only on born-again Christians.
What is this guy smoking? So deluded!
Loooong time before anyone gets a nomination...
But how about this:
Ted Cruz is figuring the US to be pretty similar to what it was in the Reagan era. Rand Paul is figuring that it has become something completely different.
Cruz wins the Reagan crowd with his strong on national defense, and America strong position which, as we can see, is going to be all important, very soon, and our current weakness is placing us in the position of losing ground globally, while our enemies are building and expanding.
Things are getting scary not just in the mess in the Middle East, but also in Europe and Asia, even in Latin America.

Ted Cruz has all but given up on that base
He’s speaking of the tea party here, and he’s flat out lying. I was tea party before there was a tea party and I’m for Cruz. Same for many associates of the same mindset. I have never considered myself part of the Christian right, but it does not bother me that he’s appealing to them too.
I think it does bother the journ-o-lists.
Ted Cruz has not given up on anyone who wants to honor our Constitution.
Your last line is a keeper.
So I asked you if you are going to spam all the Cruz threads with that, you sure post it a lot so far.
