Please join Ted Cruz in reviving the long dormant Reagan Coalition. He says the data shows that the Reagan Coalition is still out there (evangelicals, liberty movement voters, Reagan Democrats, national security conservatives, etc) , and that once revived we will no longer have to move to the mushy middle to win!

Our country is in desperate straits, and we may only get one shot at this folks.

Ted Cruz 2016!

Whatever else Cruz may be, he is not a libertarian.

Trump is also trying to revive the Reagan coalition.

I will be happy with either Trump or Cruz.

Libertarianism is the counter to Bernie Sanders’ Socialism when it comes to appealing to the Millennials.

If the GOP candidate can use it to pull over Sanders’ supporters (especially should Hillary be the Dem nominee) it sets the stage for “growing” those millennials into Conservatives as they get older and more mature.

Cruz was born in Canada. Inconvenient, but a fact.

Cruz’ states’ rights position alone renders him the most logical replacement for Paul’s base.

The Libertarian Moment Lives With Ted Cruz

So Ted has a decent wine cellar, mirrors on the bedroom ceiling and a bong?

The libertarians don’t claim he is, but many of them are endorsing Ted Cruz as the most Libertarian of the bunch.

And Ted Cruz is actively courting their vote as part of his strategy to revive the Reagan Coalition.

So what? Cruz is a US citizen and has been since birth.
He’s been challenged in court, courts agreed.

They understand Ted is not for those things and are endorsing him and his mission to revive the Reagan Coalition anyway.
