Perhaps “piling on” should be a keyword.

Simply by declaring, Cruz may force the field to the right but since all politicians are phonies at their core, he may only force them to pay lip service to conservative principles.

To Cruz:
We know who you are by the people who attack you.
Go Ted!

The people who can stop Cruz from being elected — are the very Republicans in leadership who have sold themselves out to the Democrats as stooges in a phony opposition party.

And get there, NOW, and start calmly telling everyone you know/meet the great things about Cruz! Learn old fashioned KGB brainwashing and Alinsky tactics and use them !

I can not remember a candidate that the instant after they announced everyone asked “can they win”.
Can McCain win
Can Romney win
Can Jerry Brown win
Can John Edwards win
Can Mike Huckabee win
Can Ron Paulson win
Can Ron Paul win
Can Ralph Nader win
Can Al Gore win
Can Ben Carson win
Can Joe Biden win
Can Jesse Jackson win
Can George H.W. Bush win
There are other reasons to run that to win. You can position yourself as a VP pick. Move the debate in the right direction. Improve your name recognition for the next election....

The election is not today. Time has been known to usher in the unbelievable when the unexpected paves a new road.

There absolutely is, and the GOP-wing of the Democrat party told us so by trotting Jethro out to start the POTUS nomination process a year early because they are so terrified of him.

To: BenLurkin
Nope, the GOP-Eers can’t “stop” Cruz.
What are they going to do, call him names? They do that anyway.
Not fund him, when he IS the nominee?
That would end the GOP forever !

Cruz is also widely hated by most of his Senate colleagues Orly?

"But it resonated because that is how most adults, Republicans and Democrats alike, tend to think about him. Indeed, I think the likeability factor is a much more important obstacle for Cruz to overcome than his ideology."
I think this is complete BS. I DETEST arrogant a**holes (Obama/Ann Coulter/Krugman/Bob Shieffer/etc), and Cruz has never come across that way to me.
And what do "most adults" know about Cruz, other than what they have heard second hand through a media that is trying to destroy him? They don't know crap about the real Ted Cruz.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Well let’s see. Iran gets nukes. Nukes go off in NYC, LA, San Fran, and a some other big blue cities. And although they would never tell you, if there was still an election, a bunch of liberals would be voting for the conservative they think the most crazy.

Watch the Bushies come out accusing Senator Cruz of engaging in the soft bigotry of extremist conservative views.
Jeb has collected over $100 million from who? We need to expose the sources funding the Jeb campaign.
