He says Cruz has no self doubt...

Yeah, unlike the global warming crowd, some of whom have demanded that people who doubt them be thrown in prison.

When Dems argue it’s called ‘’passion’’. When conservatives do it is called ‘’racism’’.

The kind of Republicans who supported Mitt Romney and John McCain in the past will never embrace Cruz, of course.

AKA, the kind of Republicans who helped deliver two consecutive electoral wins for Obama.

When Abraham Lincoln was being pressured to get rid of General Grant, Lincoln responded with "I can't spare this man - he fights!"

Well, we can't afford to spare Ted Cruz.

Both the dimwits and RINOs are scared of Cruz. Perhaps because they know that there are many like me who are tired of holding our nose and voting for whoever the media and elites give us as a candidate because they make us feel like traitors if we don’t. I think they realize that won’t work anymore. I am a Cruz supporter and I have decided that he is the only candidate I will vote for, even if I have to write his name in. When I say Cruz or lose I mean it. And if a democrat wins I no longer accept the responsibility, its the elites who failed to give me a candidate I could vote for. No more “not voting for so and so is the same as a vote for the democrat”, its not giving me a candidate I could vote for is the same as voting for a democrat.

“Ted Cruz simply loves to argue.”

So do I, but I have a hard time believing that Cruz just started arguing without any provocation. He seems to be a very even-tempered man. If you hear someone say something blatantly untrue, you can’t just sit there and listen to them drone on and on about it. This guy makes it seem like he didn’t say anything to draw Cruz into an argument.

“It wasn’t personal, of course. Ted Cruz simply loves to argue. “

Well said Pelham!

And Stu Rothenberg is a jerk and I would argue with him on just about every one of his libtard positions!

So, according to this guy, Cruz would be just awesome.... If he didn’t push for what he believed, and compromised with the left a lot more.

But we already HAVE a Jeb.

Your quote from the article-— “snake oil salesman, an unflattering comparison that suggests he is both untrustworthy and unscrupulous.”

Can you believe that!!! I mean, can you? The man is so embued with the Constitution and the law, that he has been INVITED by the Supreme Court to file amicus briefs- a singular honor. And that’s “snakeoil”. Incredible.

Reading the article, in between his headline and conclusion where he slams Cruz, he gives a lot of reasons why Cruz is so good. I don't think he intended to do that, but he did.

I think you could find a lot of parallels with Reagan's run and Ted's.

They said the same things about Reagan, Ted should be proud to be the enemy of the same kinds of people.

Cruz/2016!

We don’t even speak the same language. A liberal candidate can be “an excellent debater.” The conservative “loves to argue.”

Someone like that at a dinner party pisses me off to no end. Someone like that on my side politically, willing to fight the good conservative fight? He’s my buddy.

(Cruz) “probably needs to broaden his message and change his style to win his party’s nomination.”

No, Stu, he does not.

You see, Stu, we the unwashed masses are sick and tired of politicians’ “nuanced” and “evolving” positions. And we’re nauseated by the way so many of them abandon whatever principles they once had in order to “broaden” their message for the sole purpose of winning an election.

The ones that voted for McStain and Romney will vote for whoever is the (R) candidate, even if it's Hillary!
