TED CRUZ 2016......GOD SPEED TED.
“If you listen to Donald Trump, you would believe that Ted Cruz’s huge victories in Kansas and Maine in Super Saturday were a fluke. “
Post a quote of Trump saying that.
Ted Cruz smells more and more like a warmed over spoiled Bush than anything else. But, during his CPAC act, Cruz sounded more like Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show.
Sweet.
Cruzin’ to the WH!
The biggest reason Trump is winning these primaries is that, for unknown reasons or motives, Democrats are crossing over and voting for him. When do members of an opposing party get to pick the candidate? Open primaries are a stupid idea.
“Not only did Cruz obtain most of the 155 delegates that were up for grabs on Saturday”
See, this is what pisses us off. He did not win “most”. He did win “the most” or “a majority” or “the largest number”. So why lie about it?
It’s not really much of a surge. Cruz does well where there are caucuses. Caucuses limit the freedom to engage in the process, in my opinion. They’re open to heavy influence/peer pressure, they last much longer than a simple ballot primary, so only certain people who have the time to participate can go, etc... The economically diminished blue collar whites that are a big part of Trump’s base are exactly the type of people who don’t have the time to go participate in a caucus.
I think his “surge” is very limited in scope and won’t turn into much more than it already has.
“Ted Cruz surge is not a staged joke”
Yet I can’t can’t help but laugh.
I used to be a Cruz or nothing person. Then I thought harder about his wife and Goldman Sachs and how their investments do well only with cheap labor. Show me where a stock does better when the company’s labor costs rise.
I assume all things equal that Trump and Cruz would both push for 15% corporate tax rates.
I will still vote for Cruz if he is the General election candidate.

This is Ted’s ground game. Trump has nothing. If I hear him spout one more poll I’m going to scream. The polls have been wrong.
Caucus wins are not huge wins. Not only did Huckabee and Santorum both win Iowa, but each also won several other caucus states. The caucus states are oddities that don't portend success in the overall campaign for candidates.
Here’s my (respectfully) submitted opinion.
Ted Cruz is a brilliant legal mind, probably one of the best we’ve seen. He has tons of experience in practicing law, is exceptionally well-versed in interpreting the law and the Constitution He has served in a number of roles in the legal profession. But his experience is singularly confined to law. There is no management, finance, economic, executive experience. He, like Rubio and 0bama, are first term Senators who have run for President in their first terms.
In my profession, I worked with brilliant engineers, some were considered national treasures. They were some of the best in design and creation. But for the most part, when they were promoted to managerial or executive positions, they were mediocre at best and some of them were lousy.
I want someone with managerial experience, a bigger picture guy or gal, who has had to meet a payroll, run a business, has had more successes than failures and sees the big picture.
Ted would make an excellent A.G., chairman of the Judiciary Committee or Justice. But I do not see him as someone with a grasp of the larger picture or with the talent it would take to negotiate many deals, even among his colleagues.
I like Ted to an excellent tactician but not a strategic leader.
Is there honestly a single Ted Cruz supporter who thinks the GOPe is going to support him once they get to the brokered convention. At this point, any vote against Trump is a vote for GOPe.
