Ted Cruz: Next 20 months will be like ‘Lord of the Flies’
Wash Times ^ | 4/13/2015 | Dan Sherfinski

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas on Monday predicted chaos for the next 20 months, saying the “bullies and tyrants of the world” have sized up President Obama and determined that he is “no credible threat whatsoever.” Mr. Cruz hammered the administration’s handling of foreign policy in areas such as Russia, Iran and the Islamic State terrorist group while invoking the name of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who announced Sunday she is running for president in 2016. “President Obama and Secretary Clinton have had their chance,” he said at a luncheon in Raleigh hosted by the John Locke Foundation. “Their policies do not work. Leading from behind is a dismal failure.” Mr. Cruz, who announced is own 2016 presidential bid last month, said that for the next 20 months, “I believe we are essentially in a Hobbesian state of nature.” “It’s like ‘Lord of the Flies.’ The only limit on bad actors is the extent of their own strength, because for the next 20 months, the bullies and tyrants of the world, I believe, have taken the measure of the man in the Oval Office and determined that he is no credible threat whatsoever,” he said. He said the good news is that in the annals of history, “20 months is not a very long time.”

Hillary will never be president. Too many problems. Running as , Obama’s 3rd Term is a foolish idea. She should tell how she will change America for the better. Not just the same old stuff. Its a plan for failure. The next year will see wars, attacks and disasters. The election will be decided in Moscow and Peking. Its going to be a rough ride folks. get your candles, waters and flashlight batteries ready! Food and First Aid.

In the General I’ll agree but her first effort is to win the primary
and not piss off the Obama supporters.

Harp on it even up until election day from all fronts.

Be relentless and never let a lie or smear from the left and media go unchallenged.

My thoughts are that she already won and this is all a formality. We have to hope Cruz can pull off the upset of the century.
