I can’t put my finger on it, but when I look at Ted Cruz I don’t get a warm feeling that he is sincere. Maybe it’s his white silk tie that reminds me of Movie Gangsters from the 40’s and 50’s.

The Democrats have only two ways to demonize conservatives - implying they are stupid or implying they are evil. Cruz has an Ivy League degree which (short of being a Rhodes Scholar) is the liberal template for intelligence. Therefore, he must be demonized as evil.

But I think she does make a good point if you read far enough down. Reagan’s charm was an optimism about the American people that implied we could overcome anything if we just rolled up our sleeves and got after it. The GOP nominee is going to have to project more than anger at Washington. He’s going to have to state unequivocably that America is the land of heroes where good people triumph over evil.

But the Left is really worried about Cruz. That drips through every word of this.

My wife watches The Chew and a hundred other cooking and food shows on a regular basis. I am very familiar with that term and many others that're even stranger. LOL

They really are frightened of Ted Cruz, aren’t they?

” from repealing “every blessed word” of Obamacare”

I do not like his use of the word, “blessed” when referring to Obembacare. “Cursed” would be better and more appropos.

We can’t be sucked into supporting a host of presidential candidates again in 2016.

The grassroots must unite behind one strong candidate who can get support and raise money.

Ted Cruz is one such candidate...

Not only does he have TWO Ivy League degrees (Princeton and Harvard, both with distinction) but he was the very first Hispanic editor of the Law Review at Harvard, a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review, North American debating champion (both individual & team) and the first Hispanic to clerk for a Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. They’re not going to be able to pull a Palin on him.

As long as there are inflated egos and hidden Soros-type money, there will always be spoilers. Retreads Santorum and Huckabee are gearing up now.

Yet you are drawn to the threads about Cruz daily to make snarky comments. You got a crush on him?

This broad has enough $64 words in this piece to match Chelsea Clinton’s annual salary from NBC.

Really, you are going to judge the guy because you do not like the tie he is wearing. God forbid he ever gets a question about underwear Ala Clinton.

That's because you are a GOP-E troll. Your posting history speaks for itself.

'Cantor would cruise to victory' LOL! and you have a history of being wrong.

If you don’t like Cruz, that’s fine.

It’s not fine to throw shade on him without specifics [here anyway.] You’ll be discarded like so many liberals posting here if you keep that going.

Again, it’s fine to favor or not - but give some rationale besides “feelings” if you want to be taken seriously and avoid further ridicule. Of course, that may explain your presence here. You may be trying to convince FR using “feelings” and you don’t care if you’re ridiculed. lol
