“Ted Cruz is someone who will not darken our doorstep ... He doesn’t seem to be very interested in campaigning to all of Americans but only seems to be interested in appealing to a fringe,”

Yeah, y'know, that fringe that actually respects the Constitution and expects our elected leaders to keep their oath. Nice to hear that Mr. Cullen is a former GOP head, though.

Ted Cruz was a backbencher of the minority party and they still want to blame him instead of Harry Reid who was running the Senate.

I’ve never heard of this Fungus Cullen loser, but in the future Ted Cruz will be long remembered as one of the greatest U.S. presidents of all time.

“Politics is a team sport and No. 1 you have to be able to get along with your teammates”

OK, when Ted wins the nomination, will you be a “team” player, and get along with him?

If Ted wins the nomination, he will almost be an independent since the GOPe will undermine him

Ted is every bit as entitled to be there as Jebbie is.

NHGOP chairman Jennifer Horn said, “We are pleased that Ted Cruz has agreed to address our summit and share his vision for the future of our country. I look forward to welcoming him to New Hampshire.”

This guy bills himself as a “pragmatic conservative”.

In other words, he’s a conservative when it benefits him, and something else when it doesn’t.

Sounds a lot like “compassionate conservative”.

Hear, hear. I won’t vote for Jeb. There’s no point. Might as well stay home and water my garden, and wait for The Only Party to take over our country.

Holy cow. Just ... wow! If former New Hampshire GOP Chairman Fergus Cullen thinks firebrand Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz represents “everything that is wrong with the Republican Party,” then one of us is in the wrong party.

Is it me? Is it Cullen?

And what is Cruz's party, then?

If it isn't Cullen in the wrong party, then voting for moderate Republicans is now an act so risky that it's an outright liability.

I hope and pray Cruz or whatever limited government Christian conservative with the prayers and poise to reclaim the faith of legal voting on-the-ground Americans, has the courage to go third party for the presidential in 2016. It's the only risk worth taking.

The GOP, if mindsets like Cullen's are prevalent in selecting a presidential candidate, is a sure bet to fail America.

The better risk is to go third party in that case, which is likely. This "leadership" in the GOP isn't going to do an about-face in two years. So the only way to win it is to leave them out of it altogether.

There is very little likely hood that Bush wins the nomination and even less that he wins the Presidency.

That is EXACTLY what most of us here, including yours truly, said about John McCain in 2006-2007.

EXACTLY.

Not me.

I still say it is an outside chance at best. Lots of Bush fatigue in the Republican Party.

Contradicts what another thread on FR says...

The other thread says Cruz will be a speaker at the NH gathering.

...Also amazing is that even GOPe pols continue to blame Cruz for the sequester that led to Obama shutting down ~17% of gov’t. operations for a short time. It was the Dems that caused the sequester.

It doesn’t “contradict” the other thread. This guy is having a campaign-related political shindig at his house where Jebbie is welcomed with open arms and Ted Cruz is most certainly not welcome.

The fix is in.

It sure is...this is the reason the GOP wants an 'open primary'...they actively encourage Democrats to 'cross over' to select the GOP nominee...they have been doing this for years. The Republican winner in the soviet Red Hampshire primary should raise a red flag to conservatives everywhere. He/she is the GOP choice to lose in November.
