Keeping my fingers, toes and eyes crossed.
Boy, I sure hope so!
Then there’s always Romney, despite his claims that he wouldn’t run. The other day Pat Buchanan remarked, “The only cure for Presidential fever is embalming fluid.” After all, even Slow Joe thinks he has a shot.
Shutdown? I see that as an accolade.
> “I think it was a combination of his age, his short tenure in the Senate, and the ***political damage he suffered from the shutdown*** (which hes ***still trying to undo***).”
WTF?
This guy’s on drugs.
“Being seen as responsible for the 2013 shutdown is, if anything, probably an asset in the GOPs conservative mini-primary...”
****
Bingo. The writer goes out of his way to trash Cruz for the shutdown while ignoring that in the real world the government shutdown was a good thing that should have lasted a lot longer (except for the gutless wonders of the GOPe).
At least Ted Cruz didn't vote present in his previous political job. He did more than some communitee organyzer from that $#** hole called Chicago.
Whoever wins a Presidential election in the United States henchforth...
IS THE ONE SUPPOSED TO WIN...
It’s beyond voter fraud.. it’s gone to “Animal Farm”..
Voters “fed”, “milked”, “processed”...
Moos, grunts, squeeks, and Oinks are noted then disregarded..
Any that don’t like it.. are “Anti-Milking”..
And that is the supreme honor because Republican mainline candidates do not aspire to any higher. The Presidency is, to them, a pain in the ass and they don't want it. They do crave the recognition of their Party after which they will strive to throw the election.
Sometimes, as with the Bushes, it doesn't quite work out and they must serve. Bush II even seemed to enjoy it in his second term. Bush I couldn't do anything that would have thrown his own election because he couldn't convince the voters that he wasn't Reagan Redux, much as he tried, and he tried. He surely breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't get elected to a second term.
However, it would be hilarious to see a Constitutionalist like him ask Congress for a declaration of war against ISIS and see them freak out.
Do we agree a conservative can not get elected by the base alone?
Will we still stick when he has to move his message to attract the liberal middle, by de-emphasizing for a period of time the social issues? How about when he can not for a moment pal around with Palin and expect to win.
The party of the “Mississippi treatment”, which is now destined for all conservatives running against Establishment candidates, could make one reasonably wonder why a true conservative would even run on the Republican ticket.
Cruz may be the only one alive with the ability and the tone to successfully deliver a conservative message and make it palatable to a near socialist leaning majority of American voters.
How he battles both the Republican Party Establishment and their candidates and the Democrat Party and the Wall Sreet globalist contingency and the Chamber of Commerce, all at the same time, will be a VERY expensive and arduous endeavor.
Then the Wisconsin voters would be fools, considering what he's done for the state. Besides, he survived the recall effort.
I hope Ted runs. He is our first choice. Rick Perry second. Mitt, Jeb and Krispy Nooooo waaaaaya!
