It’s starting..... They’re heeeeeere....
They are beginning to label Cruz. He needs to get out in front.
“Troublemaker?” He “relishes” causing problems? Cruz, don’t be a GW Bush and stay above the fray and not kill their characterizations of you.
Cruz tries to make government smaller and more accountable to the People. He needs to come up with easily repeatable memes and repeat them. He isn’t causing problems; he’s returning to a Constitutional Republic.
He would do well to explicitly describe what truly makes America great (her founding documents) and to write a VERY SHORT book without his picture on the front that would not be a throwaway glory book of the Magnificent Candidate, but a little, easy, clear treatise on our Founders/ Documents and what they mean, not to Cruz, but to EVERYONE.
He may be the only one who can truly teach what is missing in most education today: simple civics, why a representational republic left alone is better for each American than an intrusive, top heavy government. What freedom means, both in pleasures and responsibilities.
The book should be as small as Profiles in Courage. It should be so valuable even if he loses it stays around, and even can be used in classrooms, from 5th grade through college and in enlightening new citizens.
I wish I could be a part of a presidential campaign. Too many of the pros are too bleeping slick and get too far away from truth and freedom.
Very good ideas - send them to his office. I do “conservatism in one sentence” all the time. The book you describe is badly needed.
