No.

You prattle off what Ted has done that makes him presidential.

He’s a freshman Senator, and if he had been in any longer than that, you’d call him a career politician. Well, some Trumpers do. You guys have to decide, does Cruz have too little experience in government or too much. The Trump wing of the party brings renewed vigor to the concept of situational ethics.

Cruz is a drowning horse.

Clinton machine would have people wearing Canada flag coats.

To be frank about it and I’ve given Ted my support in this forum and with my $$$$ without attacking Donald, Ted did not get over 50 percent with his win in Wisconsin this week.

Oh yeah...twee Teddy was REALLY "pushing for a wall and deportation" ! ROTFLOL

All talk, no do TED even went to the border with INSANE Glenn Beck to WELCOME the DAMNED UNWANTED AND UNNEEDED ILLEGAL ALIEN HORDE OF INVADERS, and hand out soccer balls and Teddy Bares to 18 year old "CHILDREN" and tell them how to get onto the government teat.

Old ALL HAT NO CATTLE TEDDY has done NOTHING at all "good" for any AMERICAN CITIZEN, except himself, since becoming Junior Senator. He was even less effective than Obama was!

Everything Cruz has done in his career has made him the conservative standard-bearer we’ve been trying to find for decades. He defended religious liberty over and over in front of the Supreme Court. He helped bring down Gang of 8. He filibustered Obamacare articulately, leading to a government shutdown that showed for once Republicans were fighting for their base. That led to a mid-term sweep in the elections, stopping much of Obama’s agenda. Everything he’s voted on has been fantastic. He helped roll back NSA spying to name another one.

That’s what happens when conservatives like Reagan and Cruz win. The establishment falls in line behind them and licks their boots to get a place at the table.






Hello!

Mr. Paul Manafort is working for Mr. Trump!

Cruz went down there during the controversy to speak out against Obama’s immigration policies.

Has Ted been a governor?

Has Ted been a mayor of a large city?

Has Ted been a CEO?

Has Ted created jobs?

Has Ted done anything at all, that qualifies him to be the most powerful man on the planet?

I don’t want a career politician, but Ted is closer to that than he is qualified as a presidential contender.

He has worked for Bush, the State of Texas, and a few other jobs. He is back in Washington now.

Ted is an attorney, and is supposedly a great Constitutional scholar. None the less he couldn’t grasp Trump’s or his followers First Amendment rights.

Ted argued about 8 cases before the SCOTUS. I believe he won’t 2 outright.

This does not qualify him to be president.

Hey, you’re a nice guy. Let’s run you. You are as qualified to be president as Ted is. Think about that.

Cant hold up in the general. He’s for the gays when he gets their money, hates ‘em when he needs the delegates.

That sounds a wee bit shady to me. Razor thin line about to rip his ass in NY.

Cruz got 66.3% in Wyoming and 69.2% in Utah. Trump has never gotten over 50% in any state yet.

The most important constitutional duty of a President is Commander-in-Chief and we don’t have anyone with military experience running. At the same time, values trump experience. Hitler had military experience...doesn’t mean he’d make a good Commander-in-chief.

Being a CEO and creating jobs applies to Mark Zuckerberg and every Silicon Valley leftist businessman. Again, we’re looking for the right values, not mere experience. And government itself operates under completely different principles than business, ESPECIALLY conservative-led government which DOESN’T try to run the economy and leaves it to the actual businessmen.

Ted understands the law which is very important for the chief enforcer of the law. He’s shown his remarkable ability to understand and navigate the delegate situation, the same skills he’ll need to unravel the bureaucracy and its red tape.

Cruz explained perfectly that the protestors had no right to shut down Trump’s free speech. He explained in the most articulate fashion I’ve ever heard how the first amendment doesn’t give you a veto to shout down others.

Everything Cruz has done in his career has made him the conservative standard-bearer we’ve been trying to find for decades.

For crying out loud, NO HE IS NOT!  In his first job for Bush, he was working with Bush to find ways to defeat immigration enforcement.  Conservative standard bearer?  No. Wrong!

He defended religious liberty over and over in front of the Supreme Court.

He pled eight cases there and won two.  Get a new pitch man.  This guy's average is sub-par.


He helped bring down Gang of 8.

The Gang of 8 Bill passed the Senate, and yet Ted has been milking his actions as if he stopped it.  He didn't.  It passed in the Senate.  Ted is not a very honest guy, to put it as nicely a can be stated.  His efforts accomplished nothing, and that is obvious.

He filibustered Obamacare articulately, leading to a government shutdown that showed for once Republicans were fighting for their base.


Ted made a show of it.  That's all it was.  I believe Ted talked overnight and the next moring it was over.  Green Eggs and Spam.


That led to a mid-term sweep in the elections, stopping much of Obama’s agenda.

Oh please.  Ted was not responsible for the mid-term election victories.  Most folks knew very little about the guy.  You had to be a political junkie to even hear much about him.

Everything he’s voted on has been fantastic. He helped roll back NSA spying to name another one.

Ted is a serial exagerator.  He is also very creative at coming up with excuses.  I've been calling him Mr. Have I Got an Excuse for You.

You're buy too much of what Ted has been telling you.

He”s quite the huckster. Meantime, so confident (not) of advancing, still a sitting senator from my state. It’s like the Kinkster (Kinky Friedman) said, “They should only get two terms max. One in office and one in jail.”
