The buzz these days is that Senator Ted Cruz from Texas will run for president in 2016. Does that sound too bold?
It is much less important to have two or three presidential terms under men like Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, and Romney -- the presidential nominees since Reagan left office -- than one or two presidential terms under a transformative conservative leader who intends to reclaim the nobility and virtue or America and create in our nation a model which the rest of the world can see.
Reagan and Cruz both grasp the deadly moral and mental toxin of Marxism. The sins of the left, from ObamaCare to a destructively high progressive income tax to the myriad categories of notionally aggrieved classes requiring preferred treatment by government, are all rooted in Marxism.
Ted Cruz correctly and courageously talks about the Marxist domination of Harvard Law School. Go back a few decades in American political history.
Gerald Ford in his 1976 foreign policy debate with Carter was so eager to pussyfoot around the issue of Marxist evil that he famously stated that the Soviet Union had not dominated Poland. Compare that craven surrender to political correctness with Ronald Reagan as president calling the Soviet Union an "Evil Empire."
Ted Cruz knows all about the horrors of Marxism and understands as most of us could not why ending Marxism in Grenada was noble. Cruz's father, who had been tortured by Fidel Castro's predecessor, Batista, and who supported Castro's revolution, left Cuba before Castro came to power, thoroughly disillusioned with that dissembling Marxist thug.
Cruz also is a fabulous communicator and articulator of conservative principles. Professor Alan Dershowitz, not noted for his historic sympathy for conservatism, said of his days at Harvard Law School, "Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant."

Here's another good FR thread. The linked article is titled "Ted Cruz: The Anti-Rubio Who Is Determined To Stop Immigration Reform."

I concur. Let's see how he handles a chief executive position at the state level before putting all our beans into getting him elected to the Presidency.
I think you meant Rubio...
I’m not for Rubio’s plan. I think we need to implement an e-verify system that takes place in 5 years, allowing the illegals here to either apply for citizenship or self-deport within that time. I wish Rand was for this but it appears he’s not. Still, Cruz is inelligible and out of the remaining top candidates, Rand is the best.
You’re right, I did-—more coffee.
To the last two sentences: wrong, and wrong.
I’m going to say “no” to the article’s question if only because I’m sick to the teeth of the immediate stampede to the name of the moment as the next great hope for the presidency. We got it when Scott Brown (unemployed-MA) won the Senate special election to replace Kennedy. We got it again with Rand Paul during his filibuster. Now it’s Ted Cruz.
I mean, yes, it’s possible that Cruz is the best option for 2016, but it’s way too early to tell that right now, and I’d like to see him “in action” in the Senate for more than just a couple of months before boarding that train.
Scott Walker brought US Deniece Priebus as GOP party head as baggage....and has not cut the management and admin level state jobs in Wis. Jindal has the same eligibility issues as Cruz.....and is not the consevative Cruz is
I could care less about this phony “executive leadership” nonsense...its an excuse to not elect a consevative
NO
“If he runs the Democrats and the Media will suddenly rediscover the “natural born” clause, virtually overnight.”
You can bet your bippy on that happening.
I can’t wait to call all my libtard aquiaintances “Birthers” with glee and underhanded malice.
Ted Cruz correctly and courageously talks about the Marxist domination of Harvard Law School.
Then why did he stay there and graduate rather than find a non-Marxist dominated school?
Daniel in the Lion’s Den...
Daniel didn't enter the lions den by choice or stay there by choice. Cruz did.
He’ll be our best hope until he sneezes in the wrong directions and “conservatives” decide he’s a RINO. /s
Yes.
The good news is that the RINOcracy is divided between Bush and Christie, and on our side, Cruz is the clear front-runner.
Let the money flow.
Daniel in the Lion’s Den...
Daniel didn’t enter the lions den by choice or stay there by choice. Cruz did.
May be a good test if Cruz can endure that and not become a frothy lib or a weasel RINO, maybe he has built up an immunity to “Potomac Fever”....
Who is ?
He's still saying, "Harvard is a nest of commies. I realized that the day I walked in the door and I knew it for every single day of the three years that followed."
fieldmarshaldj...I do not have a clue. Alot can happen between now and then and I am just hoping someone will emerge. If history repeats itself, we should elect a Republican after two terms with a democrat. But right now, I do not see anyone who is hinting they might run who has much depth and experience and the respect of the party. Who do you suggest?
He certainly does look like the best option at this early stage, and the left has already hatched a smear campaign against him that will only become more intense - Cruz the Barbarian.
I'm also waiting to see how he deals with it.
