CRUZ or LOSE!Posted on 03/13/2015 10:30:30 AM PDT by Whenifhow
“President, how are you?”
That’s how Glenn Beck greeted Ted Cruz on radio Friday morning, and once you hear how Cruz responded throughout, it’s not too far off to think the Texas senator could be making a run to fulfill Beck’s greeting.
Beck and his co-hosts spent a majority of the interview trying to get Cruz to announce he’s running. And while Cruz didn’t fully commit, he did make some interesting comments. Here are some of them:
“So what I’ll say is stay tuned.”
“I will point out, I was in Iowa last weekend. Tomorrow morning, I’m flying to South Carolina. The next day, I’m going to New Hampshire.”
“Those are not necessarily states chosen at random.”
“Iowa was beautiful. It ended up being unseasonably warm. I joke that if we were to launch a campaign, we could just make the campaign message be, you know, vote for Cruz. He’ll bring the sunshine. If we can deliver on that, they’d probably cancel the whole election.”
“Well, I’m looking at it very, very seriously.”
Sound like a candidate?
He also told a story of recently speaking to a group of people and telling them to text a certain number if they supported his message. There were about 1,500 people there, he said. The number got 3,598 texts.
“I have to tell you, the encouragement we’re receiving is breathtaking,” Cruz said.
Considering Cruz’s comments, Beck wasn’t shy about interpreting them.
“We’re thrilled,” he said. “And I know we say this jokingly every time. Everybody heard that Ted Cruz just announced he was running for president.” “That’s what I heard,” co-host Pat Gray added. “That’s what America heard.”
“I think we kind of did hear that here. We’ll wait for the official announcement, but we’re thrilled,” Beck concluded.
Listen to the full interview below:
We know he’s running. I want Cruz to start getting serious about it.

That would be great — Cruz will, once again, prove a real Conservative can win!
I’m on his text list. Looking forward to the one where we meet in my precinct and start putting up signs! It needs to happen soon, though.
Text “Constitution 33733” if you want to see him run.
Yea, I listened to this this morning.
He did everything EXCEPT explicitly say he is a candidate.
I wish he would come to Tennessee..
the TN GOP are kissing up to Jeb Bush..
Sigh, its usually the RINO that they push early..
In 2012 they courted their sweetie Willard from the start..
CRUZ or LOSE!No Willard didn’t win in TN..
in 2008 it was Huckabee..2012 it was Sanctorum..
He said he’s building his campaign model using the ‘80 and ‘04 elections.
I will miss him dearly as my best Senator.
M-O-N-E-Y, that’s what he needs
Sarah Palin, his biggest fan, has close to 5 million FB friends/subscribers and Ted about a million and a half. If those combined 6.5 million donated $20.16 per month for the next year, that’s a quarter billion right there?
Ted Cruz vs. Scott Walker is a choice I can live with.
That fact is both a plus and a minus in the primaries. It will be a killer in a general election. Just sayin’.
How so? not following your logic...
It Would be great if he came to Tennessee! I would love to work on his campaign. I can finally do that after all these years without the Hatch Act being a factor.
I’m in West Tennesse and I think Cruz would get a lot of support here.
