The Establishment is too stupid to live. Film at eleven.
“...Although for different reasons, political analyst Dr. Charles Dunn recently offered his advice that Cruz sit out the 2016 presidential sweepstakes and use the time to build his political base for a possible run in the future....”

Folks should be aware that the people in this article expressing reservations about Ted Cruz are almost certainly allies of the duplicitous “conservative” poseur Mike Huckabee. And they appear to be doing some early running interference for Huckabee who will be running in 2016.
We need to snuff out the possibilities of the likes of Huckabee whose only function in 2016 will be to help fragment the conservative primary vote.
We are going to see more and more of this stuff as Ted Cruz continues to gain traction.
We don't need to court the Mexicans, we don't need the moderates. All we need is a candidate that Evangelicals will vote for.
Who better than Cruz?
The “establishment” hit Cruz with everything they had during the Texas primary battle. That was long before it was in style to be a Cruz defender here on FR. In a battle between Ted and the GOPe, it is not Ted who should be afraid. As far as funds, tell me where to send the check. I’m sure others will do the same.
In 2008 we watched as prominent republicans switched to Obama to stop Palin from what would have have become the presidency.
In 2010 we watched them go against GOP primary winners to stop Palin and conservatives.
We just went through the Mississippi situation and saw them in 2012, they would rather lose or back non republicans to defeat conservatism.
I didn’t know he needed their permission.
Cruz will have abundant and unprecedented grassroots financial support.
I’ll vote for him anyway.
Screw the GOPe and the rest of their islamist facilitators.
I very seriously doubt that the Establishment Republicans will allow him to run. If he tries look for them to do something like they did to Herman Cain.
We are going ot have a primary process. Yes, there is room for mischief making, but still there really is no doubt that Romney won by beating his opponents in the long haul, primary after primary.
Cruz can win hte GOP primary if a majority of GOP primary voters favor him, it's as simple as that. No amount of Establishment entitlement can change that outcome, if the majority of GOP primary voters insist on it.
Cruz does not need permission, he will just kick the door down, and charge in guns ablazing.
Will GOP establishment even allow Cruz to run? Well the GOP Establishment in Texas tried to stop him from being elected Senator, but he defeated an entrenched, well-funded, sitting Lt. Governor and defeated him very handily. Actually, he beat him like a drum. Ted Cruz is not ordinary politician. He’s a brilliant statesman and one helluva campaigner.
