Some blog calling itself Liberty Conservatives put out a six point piece as to why Ted Cruz can't get the nomination. For various reasons none of them made any sense. That blog, btw, looks like a front for a potential Rand Paul run.

Didn’t like that about his old man and don’t like it about him. Disingenuous if not down right dishonest.

"...Hillary Clinton is seriously damaged goods." You are correct but I think it goes beyond that. I think that the Obambi faction is actively going after her. They are in a knock down drag out struggle to take control of the Democrat Party. Any time you see a progressive attacked in a progressive rag like Salon, you know that there's trouble afoot in Marxist Land.

Hillary has one gigantic problem: she doesn't take criticism well. In fact, even when the MSM throws softball questions at her she whiffs a lot. Small wonder why in 2008 when Obama came on the scene the Democratic Party kicked her to the curb in no time flat.

Hes just set the bar that everyone else has to chin.Good way to put it. Indeed.
Cruz truly understands that our Liberties are under assault from the left and the GOPe.
He will be fearless against the upcoming onslaught.

The Left, Progressives, Dems, and ‘moderate’ Pubbies are reeling from Cruz’s Shock and Awe.
Good thing they are mostly writing him off and not seriously considering him as a viable candidate.
So what if he is the only one to officially announce.

the first-term senator from Texas offered himself as the pure essence of conservatism and challenged the tea party and evangelical wings of the Republican Party to rise up behind one of their own and take control of the party and the country. That's exactly what he did and the country WILL rise up behind him.

My point (and tag line) has been that, given the demographic trends, whites no longer can afford to split their vote. They need to unify to some extent around a candidate in November. 55/45 Republican may have worked ok 50 years ago, when just about the only people voting were whites, but it doesn’t stand a chance today. Even 60/40 Republican is probably not enough. 65/35 Republican is now the white vote required for a Republican to win.
How to get that vote: You don’t get it by sounding like a Democrat, because the whites on the margin will then simply vote Democrat, as they will always have more handouts to offer. You get that by making whites feel proud of the candidate and country (in a non-racist way, of course), and only a conservative can do that. We will get castigated for doing it, but we will lose if we don’t - so we have no choice.
Otherwise we’ll simply keep repeating 2008/2012 over and over.

Thank you for your blessing!
What gets me, Onyx, is that critics call Cruz an extremist, a crazy. In fact, it is Obama who is the extremist. What Cruz believes is what our Founding Fathers believed!
We need to take pride in being called an extremist, a right wing nut by our critics. I’m tired of being defensive
