The author makes some good points, but misses what I think is Warren's biggest electoral vulnerability based on her own damning words, in which she publicly claims to have created the looney, business destroying, socially disruptive, disease-laded, out of control, intellectually bankrupt, philosophically incoherent, America-hating, unsanitary, disgusting, left-wing extremist temper-tantrum movement Occupy Wall Street:

“I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do,” she says. “I support what they do.”

Conservatives need to endlessly tie her to Occupy Wall Street, recapping the horrific images of its appalling behavior:

I like Ted Cruz but being photogenic is everything in modern politics and he looks like he is a genetic cross between John Belushi and Pat Buchanan.

This is true - but Cruz's bigger problem is that the banksters won't fund any candidate smart enough to make his own decisions.

“While partisans on both sides would gag at the comparison, in some ways, Cruz and Warren are a lot alike.”

Huh?! What?!!!

I believe that Cruz is ineligible to run for pres.
At the time he was born, both his parents needed to be US citizens for him to be a natural born citizen.
That is why O-ahole is not eligible to be pres, but those in power don’t care.
Cruz’s eligibility would be front and center from day one.

I think Warren is it for the Dems. Gonna be pretty hard to drag old crusty pantsuit across the line.

I’d prefer to see Cruz on the USSC, appointed by Walker or Perry.

Please provide the relevant passage(s) from the U.S. Constitution that clearly and unambiguously states that it takes 2 U.S. Citizen parents at birth for a citizen to be a "Natural-Born" citizen.

Lacking that, please provide the relevant U.S. Law(s) that clearly and unambiguously states that it takes 2 U.S. Citizen parents at birth for a citizen to be a "Natural-Born" citizen.

Lacking that, please provide the relevant U.S. Supreme Court Ruling(s) that clearly and unambiguously states that it takes 2 U.S. Citizen parents at birth for a citizen to be a "Natural-Born" citizen.

Your beliefs notwithstanding, there is no legal or constitutional rule that requires 2 Citizen parents to be Natural Born.

Doubt me?

Then provide the proof!

It’s a just very difficult to imagine her having much appeal in national campaign. Maybe she appeals to many on the far left, but I wonder how much appeal she’d have for blacks and Hispanics and some of the other groups that make up the Democrat coalition.

Her appearance is very school marmish, or like a stereotypical librarian from some bygone era, and appearance does matter in elections. But maybe those on the left will be so impressed with her far left ideas...

Or maybe they’ll love her high, Cherokee cheekbones.

He was born in Canada wasn’t he? And his father was a Cuban citizen I believe. His mother was a US citizen.

But wouldn’t that make him a Canadian citizen at birth and then later he became a naturalized citizen? Or when he move to Texas as a kid his citizenship was just assumed since his mother was a US citizen?

This will be pointed to by every Dem and Dem propaganda media outlet, if Cruz declares his candidacy. And I’m sure they would try to push the Supreme Court to rule on it as soon as possible.

... being photogenic is everything in modern politics ... and ... if you don't look good on TV, you won't win Period."

Then drop-dead-gorgeous American Babe Palin should be a shoo-in.

And she is a babe. She is disarmingly gorgeous. Can you imagine how distracting she could be, if she tried, in international negotiations with an egotistic macho guy like Putin?

I believe she would eat him for breakfast and he would enjoy it! That is, until the next day! {^)

She's as smart as she is beautiful; I've read her words and she speaks for me so often that I can't help but come to this conclusion!

Now if only she could have Meryl Streep's vocal cords (and chords!) as in "The Devil Wears Prada." SOUND as much as looks affect how people perceive a person. Ronald Reagan had reassuring, anchored tones.

I pray that the Almighty will bless Palin with a miracle of inspiration or insight in her speaking style and vocal tonality. They are her biggest obstacles, but they certainly can be overcome.

She's our next Reagan.

Without my vote. Again.

Liz Warren is a scary, scary, woman. She will simply lie and tell you exactly what you want to hear.

And her condescending elementary school sing-song voice is a killer.

No one really saw Reagan until Carter. I know he ran against Ford, but the party was such a mess then that the country would have elected Castro instead of a republican.

Yep. Hillary is a false flag, always dangled as the worst nightmare in front of panicked Americans and Republicans. When Republicans start angling and strategizing their PRIMARIES around “who can beat Hillary,” as so many here did in 2007, they are being led by the nose. Hillary would be even more difficult for fraud to put in office than Obama.

Funny how we women see men differently. To me, Cruz is wonderfully handsome, more handsome every time I see him. If I met him at a barbecue or something, I’d be drawn to him. Romney, on the other hand, is smarmy and shallow, Eddie Haskell gone bad; Joe Biden, a very handsome man, is more sincere, if dim as a daisy.

Re: “While Walker is good on most things, he is an open-border failure.”

Ted Cruz, also, does not have clean hands on immigration.

In 2000, he helped write George W. Bush's immigration policy, which eventually became the Bush-McCain Amnesty in 2005 (however, which parts he wrote are not known).

In 2012, while running for his Senate seat, he advocated for more work visas for Texas ranchers and farmers.

Recently, his public position has become more Conservative.

Since the Border Invasion, he has begun to advocate legislation to overturn Obama’s Dream Act Executive Orders.

Frankly, I do not trust ANY Republican leader on the issue of immigration anymore.
