this is one time their playbook will fall flat

People overestimate the stupidity of the American people. A passionate and articulate conservative reaching out with a plan for a better tomorrow will resonate, and the elitist mind-control trolls will seem even more foolish.

I dwell in a place often surrounded by the lower 47%. They get it that they're losing what little they have, and reasons are things like the government getting in the way of jobs and opportunity. They know that the police are on a tightrope between keeping the population safe and having to shoot someone, causing the staged protests.

Ted Cruz speaks to those concerns with a positive message. I think it plays with the younger population. And I think it plays with immigrants and second-generation who did it the legal way.

Foster Friess was saying on Cavuto that those underestimating Cruz will live to regret it. Says Cruz is a man who thinks several steps ahead and does not stumble.

The late night tv comics are still trying to find something they can ridicule Obama over.

Even for a late night comedy host, Letterman is an outstanding horse’s ass. A mean spirited libtard fool.

Letterman disgusts me. His political activism is as sleazy as his personal life

He got a pass on his personal life because he's such a good troll for the elite. That disgusts me.

Besides that, I can't listen to him. He comes across as an arrogant jerk.

JMHO

Millenial here, I can speak for most of the people I know who are in my age range that we could care less about what the late night comics do. With Netflix, DVR and other entertainment options we watch something else during late night.

However, many of my generation do watch Colbert and the Daily Show but with those shows going off the air, it will be interesting to see the impact of late night on the election.

Does anybody actually watch these people? You couldn’t pay me enough money to watch any of them. Life is too short to waste it on stupidity.

I love it... 1. It tells you when is one exactly right over the target. 2. As the campaign goes on, it will expose them for who they are... and that can’t be good for this crowd of leftist kooks. 3. It’s fun to watch them squirm with Cruz under their skin and deep into their heads.

On the other hand Letterman is...not so bright:

Letterman attended his hometown’s Broad Ripple High School at the same time as Marilyn Tucker (future wife of Dan Quayle) and worked as a stock boy at the local Atlas Supermarket. According to the Ball State Daily News, he originally had wanted to attend Indiana University, but his grades were not good enough, so he instead attended Ball State University, in Muncie, Indiana. He is a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, and he graduated in 1969 from what was then the Department of Radio and Television. A self-described average student, Letterman later endowed a scholarship for what he called “C students” at Ball State.

Alan Dershowitz of all people called Cruz his most brilliant student ever at Harvard Law School. And yet Cruz is some stupid oaf in the eyes of Liberal America. Just more proof of how stupid liberals are and how banal liberal comedy is.

The narrative among Leftists is that anybody who disagrees with them, does so because he is too stupid to see the wisdom of the Left's position. Either that, or he's evil.

It is unacceptable for any Leftist to question any aspect of the Left's position, or to concede that there is anything correct about any conservative position.

I watched the full speech and what I felt was missing was charisma. Ronald Reagan was charming. Sarah Palin had sizzle. They were both physically attractive people, which counts a lot when you have a shallow pop-culture electorate. If we knew nothing of their politics, we’d think Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were attractive people.

Ted Cruz looks like a funeral director. He’s got a big nose, the beginning of jowls, a pale face and a manner that is sincere to the point of zealotry. I love his message. He’s got my vote. But he’s going to need to do some “one of us” campaign stops to do hunting, eat some brats, crack some jokes to help moderates and others get comfortable with him if he has any chance of winning.

The fault isn’t Cruz. The fault is ours as an electorate. But the American electorate is not going to choose someone who looks like he spends all day closeted in the law library. He needs to show he connect with voters, not just preach the conservative gospel.

Over target, taking flack, proceed with extreme prejudice. I had some doubts earlier about Cruz, but after seeing the meltdown on the left, just from him announcing his presidential bid, I think we have a real candidate.

PLEASE keep calling Cruz “Stupid”. That’ll come back and bite them hard.

It sure didn't in regards to both Bush and Palin....it's that old Chinese Water Torture technique.

Every single Republican Presidential candidate since Nixon , with the possible exception of Bob Dole (who was just portrayed as old and out of touch) , has been ridiculed by the media as stupid.

Alan Dershowitz, who is no friend of Republicans, has openly stated that Ted Cruz was one of his most brilliant law students ever at Harvard Law and was always the smartest guy in the room.

That's really saying something since that room was at Harvard Law School and guys like Alan Dershowitz and Lawrence Tribe were in the same room as Cruz.
I don't hear ANYONE from Harvard Law School saying anything about Obama when he was there.

Ronald Reagan was able to successfully shake the label; W was not because he couldn’t speak clearly.

For a brief shining moment, when he spoke extemporaneously on the rubble at ground zero, W did shake that label. Then the next day he declared that Islam was a religion of peace and it went right back on him.

Cruz doesn’t have snow ball’s chance in hell to be POTUS. Why? Absolutely too intellectually brilliant! The powers that be that control the US behind the scenes want some one dumb enough to control. Obama was touted to be an intellectual giant but has proven otherwise.

I hope Cruz is more successful at defining himself and controlling the media smear campaign.

Too bad That Sarah Palin couldn't or didn't. I still feel we lost a very good person when she got trashed by the libs.

“David Letterman? I thought he died.”

He’s been dead to me for years.
