“Cruz wins the republican nomination and the general election.”
Yes, I fear your scenario as well. I was called a cassandra for castigating the split between Santorum and Gingrich, which would lead to a Romney nominee unless Gingrich supporters moved to Santorum. They did not.
Gingrich was never going to be president - he just had too much baggage from before. He was good for Romney, and by extension - Obama.
ALL of my cynicism comes from the idea that we need The Facebook-Popular candidate.
Presidential politics isn’t designed to be a popularity contest or a beauty pageant. It is incumbent upon We The People to select constitution respecting men and women to represent us, and then limit those to their constitutionally defined powers, either through peaceful petitioning, or, as a last resort, through the means our forefathers used.
I admire Ted Cruz. I believe he is a patriot, and a true American; but he isn’t eligible to be president, IMO.
It would be better if he remains in the Senate while WE THE PEOPLE send as many more like him as we can find, to reinforce his position.
The cost of being a nation of laws, is abiding by them even when it’s not in our favor to do so.
