Cruz or lose!
This race is about endurance, it is a marathon.
A better president and if not that then a Supreme.
I don’t want to unfairly equate him to that “I’m for sale to the highest bidder” POS Colin Powell, but I just can’t get that scenario out of my mind. Conservatives were tripping over ourselves to tout what appeared to be a conservative black man, he even had the military record which in that era was almost proof positive of conservative leanings, and then he turns around and supports and votes for an out-and-out leftist who wants to “fundamentally transform” America, and after reaching the position in the military which he reached, he had the gall to play the race card. I’m very wary of getting burned again.
Exactly! Me too. This was 'Mr. Smith Goes To Washington'. This was an incredible 'made for the movies' live hour (without notes!) on the floor of the U.S. Senate ... and all we got was crickets. *sigh*
My FR post from 9/30/2015 ...
If Trump is the candidate, I’ll gladly vote for him, but in my ideal world, it would be Cruz for the win, win it all.
That’s how I see it. They know Cruz is the anti-gaffe machine, so the best they can do is to ignore him.
After Florida’s winner-take-all primary on March 15, things will pretty well be set. If not, brokered convention.
I would love to see Ted Cruz debate Hillary.
His “abrasiveness” ???????????
Which one of his interviews was “very unpleasant or irritating?”
Ignoring Cruz is exactly what they have done.
There is plenty of time to cover him and then we shall see him as the total package that he is.
Yes, I know about TPP/TPA and all the perceived faults, and I don’t care.
Cruz was just on Fox News with Bill Hemmer, and, wow, just fantastic yet again! He simply destroyed the “Obama/Clinton foreign policy” failures we see all over the world.
I boycotted Fox, but Hemmer is one guy who I really like.
I’m sorry I missed that.
Will it be shown again, I wonder.
Thanks, SOTC.
Alan Dershowitz said that Cruz was among the absolute brightest of the 10,000 students he taught during his 50 years at Harvard...”off the charts brilliant.”
Every candidate in the race, Repub and Dem, is intellectually outgunned by Cruz.
Nah. . . I see Cruz’s long-term role as Mr. Justice Cruz. Perhaps even Chief Justice Cruz. .
And an even better Supreme Court Justice.
Best of all, the U.S. President, to appoint Constitutionalist AG, Federal judges, Supreme Court Justices, etc.
They will have selected about 1/2 the delegates by then....
Feb, 2016 - 133 delegates in the first four early states and then the chase begins....
SuperDuper Tuesday: March 1, 2016 (Delegates/Bound delegates) 565 bound delegates
March 5, 2016 (145 bound delegates)
March 6, 2016 (23 bound delegates)
March 8, 2016 (140 bound delegates)
March 12, 2016 (19 bound delegates)
Super Tuesday: March 15, 2016 (361 bound delegates)
ooh, that would really make liberal heads pop...you can almost hear it...like sweet music.
PING
When Cruz makes his move, WATCH OUT!
I think that one of the problems for Cruz is that we have had such a long series of mediocre if not downright awful (think Cartah and Odungo) people occupying the Oval Office that voters wouldn't know a great candidate if he ran them over with an earthmover. The populace has been conditioned by the traitorous media to accept the inferior and like it. They are not used to quality leadership. They are not used to someone who bucks the trend and dares to be great, taking on all comers. They have been groomed and conditioned by the vermin media to go for looks, etc.
