Ted Cruz gets the headlines and has stood up to the GOP leadership directly over Obamacare and Amnesty.
He has the base of support as a result and is much more viable as a presidential candidate.
Unity of conservatives behind Cruz for president in the Republican Party is absolutely essential and if that fails and the GOPe wins, there should be a Third Party mechanism ready to run a presidential candidate.
I don’t disagree about Ted Cruz. But to keep him on his toes he needs a capable opponent that comes from the conservative point of view in primaries. I think that opponent should be Col. West. To me he is the only alternative to Cruz. I still don’t understand why he is not talked about. Although it might be a good thing for him to stay below the radar.
