Not compared to today’s crop. Everything is relative.

But Barack Obama won, so in that aspect, as well as being truly a believer in Conservatism (as Obama is for Kommunism) then YES I sure HOPE so!!

shutting down a dysfunctional and.or subversive administration is not a bad thing,

not at all.

indeed, it is precisely what needs doing

ASAP.

then good, honest Americans (!) may be able to start things up again... in a positive way....

The most important thing for USA today
is for the D party
to break itself away from
the IslamoNazis who have seized control of its central party apparatus

this is really urgent, for us all..

From Texas he is.

In DC he is the TEA-whip.

Rock on, Senator Cruz. Restore our liberty now before the RATS sneak back in with the MenSeekingMen media to paint we patriots supporting you as whatever insult they combine with!

He also served as a Congressman from California and as Vice President.

The most obvious one is that he’s unpopular and divisive. Polls show him as one of the least well-liked prospects in the Republican field, and he trails Hillary Clinton in hypothetical matchups.

In fact, the best analogue for the race Cruz may hope to run is another young senator with little managerial experience who had never faced a negative campaign before running for president.

Too early to tell, of course. Depends a lot on character & intelligence (in all its forms). I think this guy, despite his age and lack of 'managerial experience', may be the one, IF he plays his cards rights on the political scene. How well he campaigns, genuinely believes his policies, and how well sells them to the voters.

Remember, people like Hillary, etc.. are 'knowns' with a trackrecord & some huge baggage. That trackrecord, etc.. can make a significant difference, depending on how it is utilized & applied during the campaign.

As far as most of the nation are concerned Cruz is hardly into view yet....they’re paying attention to “other things” more than the horses getting ready to line up to the gate for Republicans. Hillary’s what the Dems are expecting, so for most they simply aren’t watching.

Cruz isn’t going to hit the scene hard until the time of his choosing....not when the media wants to edge him out with their games, nor the Dems want to demand so. He’s going to play by his rules, his timing, his agenda and he’ll be fully and completely prepared for whatever they want to throw at him.

We know more because we are watching.
