I personally don’t care how cocksure he is of himself. We need someone who is off the charts full of himself and not afraid to get the job done.
You need that kind of confidence and conviction to withstand the almost certain arrows the media and the inside the Beltway crowd are going to shoot at you.
No, Mr. Cruz, you just go ahead and be who you are and do what you’ve got to do. And never mind what ‘they’ say...
The libs are really ripping Ted in the comment section of the Texas Tribune. Definitely needs some freeping.
He’s the kind of leader we need. While other potentials are flailing around, yelling, and flipping their toupees, Cruz is laying out policy to deal with judicial tyranny.
Amazing...but he was ostracized because he didn’t play well with others?
I rather like the rebel - the one who isn’t afraid to be different and in his case admire him for his convictions. We need a leader, not a go along to get along.
The Tribune is an Austin-based paper, so there’s that.
To not have served in the 2nd term of Bush was probably a blessing.
In retrospect Bush II was responsible for leading the 2006 Comprehensive Amnesty effort which handed Congress over to the democrats.
Bush’s willingness to let Wall St. police itself, standing down the SEC and cozying up to bankers and traders that gave him a standing ovation on the floor of the NY Stock Exchange can rightly be said to have created an environment for criminal banking that gave the White House to Obama.
The GOP establishment’s god-awful lameness in the 2008 and 2012 elections and their corrupt sellout behavior since have helped the democrats lead us to where we are today.
If Ted had been involved in all that, he wouldn’t have as much credibility today. He would likely have been collateral damage.
For those who believe in God and see God’s hand in all things, it’s not a stretch to believe it possible that Ted Cruz was drawn away from the Bush catastrophic collapse to avoid tainting his reputation with the nation’s worst financial crisis in its history, a crisis that continues to play out today.
That explains it. Being from PA, I’m not aware of which city in Texas, is home to which newspaper. But, one thing I do know from Free Republic is that Austin is a liberal hell hole.
This speaks Larges Volumes about the mans Characters
“When I speak about GOP leadership, that is deliberately written in the generic, rather than in individuals, he said. Because it gives any individual senator the opportunity through his or her actions to behave differently. It gives the opportunity for a change of course.”
Im impressed, again.
Thank you Ted!
WTF? Where did you come up with that. Ted OLSON was the lead on that and Ted Cruz was just one of many staffers.
Cruz assisted in assembling the Bush legal team, devising strategy, and drafting pleadings for filing with the Supreme Court of Florida and U.S. Supreme Court, the specific case being Bush v. Gore, during the 2000 Florida presidential recounts, leading to two successful decisions for the Bush team.

They must really be scared he’ll win.
When I was in junior high and a geek, I thought that popularity was the Holy Grail,
Can’t say I relate. Except for the geek part. I was nothing if not a geek.
There is a big difference between “won” and “assisted”.
In your opinion perhaps.
Here’s a tip: words mean things.
