While I knew Ted Cruz fought and WON Constitutional battles in the courts, I didn't know that the famous Washington, D.C. 2nd Amendment victory was one of them. When he was Texas's solicitor general, SCOTUS ruled 5-4 against the D.C. ban on handguns.

Hope folks will read the entire article.

On the resume scale....I give Ted a “8”. GW would have gotten a “6” in my book. And for the record, I think Senator Obama in 2008 had a “2” for a resume record.

It’s over Sun.

i’m afraid to say in front of my own friends that i’m for Cruz cause i’ll end up in the hospital.

Trump isn’t just another candidate.

he has a following that comes along VERY VERY infrequently.

stronger than Reagan’s. Not in number, at least yet, but in commitment and fervent loyalty.

It will always hurt that Ted could have won this if trump weren’t in it, YET I still remember in the beginning getting so excited when he said what I wanted to hear

then Twitter came...

he wont rule out Rubio but he’ll rule out Cruz? meh.

what the hell does “meh” mean anyway :)

I see it used.

Trump lost in court against an old lady whose house he was trying to take away.

Cruz won at the Supreme Court defending our right to bear arms and have religious freedom.

Trump’s a good promotional guy, good at sales.

Cruz is serious and has walked the walk at the highest level.

Hey, did you know Ted ignored the very Texas case that gave the perverts a right to a marriage license by the supremes? And then Ted slipped into that NO values state of New York and collected his campaign offerings from a couple of ‘gay’ billionaires... Then Ted put on his WWJD costume and went to Iowa and played Jesus...

Ted is the GOPe’s stealth candidate... He is owned by his donors... do you know who his donors are?

As I've said before, Ted is a brilliant and successful lawyer and loves the courtroom. Much like schools teachers and community organizer, the real world of finance, trade, tax law, construction, is a struggle for him. He can piggyback his talking points of Trump's solutions but hasn't a clue how to implement the plan.

It's time for a pragmatic businessman to save this country.

The lawyers, lobbyists and politicians got us into this mess.

Yep, we could've had a true Reagan conservative for the first time in a long time. I was resigned to the fact it wouldn't happen though. This country elected Clinton twice and Obama once, and the second time for Obama was not enough to overcome the vote fraud. So we end up with a cult of personality. I didn't vote for McCain or Romney, two Dems, I voted third party. I may vote for Trump because the media hates him, but I know he will suck up to the media as soon as it's safe. I hope I'm wrong.

He may be a great lawyer, but has never held a job in the private sector, never met a payroll, and never hired employees. He has for his campaigns, but, has picked some doozies that’s for sure. He has no executive experience, and would be better suited to a job where he can use his slick, lawyer talk - not as POTUS. He has accomplished nothing except to slurped at the trough of the taxpayer’s money all his life.

Look, Cruz is NO Reagan. Reagan was one of a kind, and as much as we admire him, he wasn’t without his warts. Trump has been int eh media eye for many, many years - I don’t understand your point of saying he would suck up to the media. T Hey follow him around like sick puppy dogs - they suck up to him even though they don’t really like him. Wow, I’m amazed at some of the things people say.

“..YET I still remember in the beginning getting so excited when he said what I wanted to hear ..”

When Trump first announced I felt he was telling me what I wanted to hear, BUT I DID NOT TRUST him.

But lately Trump has been telling me what I DO NOT want to hear, like he always got along with Schumer and Pelosi. SAY WHAT? :)

btw, Rubio’s considering bowing out, and that will certainly help balance out those low-information Trump supporters.
