Ted Cruz KILLS IT with answer on Second Amendment, background checks, and public opinion
The Right Scoop ^ | 4-14-15

Posted on 04/14/2015 7:59:37 AM PDT by kingattax

Okay maybe I’m just a little excited here but I think this is a great clip that showcases Ted Cruz’s prowess on the issues, and in this case the Second Amendment, background checks and public opinion versus the Constitution. And he’s not afraid to say why the Second Amendment really exists, and it’s not to go hunting with your pals.

Ted gets it and I support him, especially on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He will be just what we need.

Ted Cruz gives more than your money’s worth when he answers a sincere question.

He needs, for the good of the USA, to have the position that now belongs to Barack Obama...and soon.

There will be a sea-change of public opinion when the public at large sees him debating.

Hillary , um um um um , Clinton will not look as good.

Not to be a killjoy here, but... this could EASILY be a campaign logo for Hillary...:)

I’d say it, but then I’d be banned for ever

How could this guy possibly lose a debate with any and all of the current crop of Presidential Wannabes?

The answer is (sound of an envelope being opened): He couldn’t and he won’t.

Oh gawd. Can you imagine what Ted Cruz--if he gets the nomination--will do to Hillary Clinton in the Presidential debates? Will the Democratic Party end up running for the hills when they realize they've backed the wrong candidate all along?

The conservative position on any issue is the common sense one. Nobody can articulate it as well as Ted Cruz.

He’s such a clear speaker, and knows his subjects in and out. He can talk extemporaneously on any government subject, without hesitation or repetition.

Obama was sold as a good speaker, and it was all a farce.

The BOR is not subject to popular opinion. Even if the 2A was repealed, it would not give the government the power to ban guns because it is a natural right.

That was worth watching. You’d have thought they paid the guy asking the question to ask it. He just wrote a speech on 2A write off the top of his head.

And it was nuanced. “Mischief government” - I don’t know where he came up with that, but it doesn’t invoke the ‘Agenda 21’ or black helicopter associations. Calling what we have right now ‘mischief government’ is not very subtle understatement, but it was enough to get the average low info voter to chuckle at the utterance of the term.

He’s it. It’s the first time in my life since Reagan that I thought a guy was made to lead the country.

I love Sarah Palin, but every time she took the podium I was like a guy watching his kid weld for the first time. You just cringed waiting for her to gaffe somehow. He’s going to murder who ever he debates.

I think every other R getting in the race is getting in to get a seat at the table somehow.

As for Jeb, since Hil came out for Climate Change, I don’t see a dime’s bit of difference between Jeb and Hil. Heck, she might as well be an in-law to see how W pals around with Bill. He may as well call her ‘sis’.

We need Cruz, to revive the constitution.

He is the antidote to the Marxists rot that infects our country.

They don’t have a candidate who can come close to Cruz’s debate skills.

And THAT is but one example of the man’s intelligence on display. He will give you a complete and detailed answer without repeating himself, or throwing out bromides designed to comfort his most loyal followers. This guy’s the real deal.

In any honest debate, we will hold his own or surpass others.

But televised debates are not honest or designed to be fair to all candidates participating. Hasn't happened yet in this media-controlled age. Perhaps next year might be different. Perhaps not.
