Cruz: ‘I ain't running to manage Washington. I’m running to change Washington’
Livestream.com ^ | June 27, 2015 | Ted Cruz

Posted on 06/27/2015 4:48:03 PM PDT by MN_Mike

At an Iowa campaign rally Saturday, Ted Cruz's message to the faithful was, "Believe again." Cruz told the crowd at Drake University in Des Moines that the Washington Cartel's game is rigged, and the elites aim to keep it that way. But he said that the power of the people can defeat the cartel: "The game is rigged, and they want to keep it that way. People know it is happening and feel helpless to change it. But 'we the people' have a choice," the U.S. Senator and GOP presidential candidate said. His speech was frequently interrupted by applause, chants and cheers, but the line which got the most enthusiastic response was, "I ain’t running to manage Washington. I’m running to change Washington!"

Cruz has zero chance. I want him to win as much as I wanted Reagan to win. Reagan won but took about 4 tries. We can’t wait 16 years for Cruz. The nation will be in ashes before then.

This is what you posted: “That sounds annoyingly like O’bombers promise; to fundamentally change this country.”

That’s not knowing what he stands for, that’s ‘reading’ him, as in ‘you’re take’ on Cruz’s speech.

If you know what Cruz stands for, why do you say his words are ‘annoyingly’ similar to ‘O’bombers’ promise? You should know full well TC is not sending the same type of message as the Kenyan- not even close.

I just posted a thread on Sen. Cruz saying Texas Clerks should be able to not issue licenses. I know what you’re saying. But, that’s the benefit of a man like Ted Cruz— he’s steeped in the law and constitution-— and within the law there’s always an angle.

Spot on. I doubt there is anyone who knows law better than Ted Cruz.

BTW, thanks for posting the link to the Drake speech. It was well worth the listen!
