Ted Cruz on CNN: We’re about to see a ‘grassroots tsunami’ hit Washington

A great, great video of the Cruz interview by Candy Crowley. Anyone watching can understand why the left and the establishment fear the man, he simply knocks it out of the park every time. As conservatives, it's time to get behind what he's doing; yes, even if you're a birther, it's time. First the defund campaign, then 2014, then we shall see. Enjoy the show, it's worth the time. This is a great man.

Note to Cruz and the GOP:

Propose an alternative.

Just saying.

[Lakeshark]

I can’t believe how good this guy is in an interview. He will slaughter anyone in a debate, he knows how to sell conservatism totally without fear, without qualms, without breaking a sweat.

[Jim Robinson]

Go, Cruz!! Go, tea party!!

[Lakeshark]

If you had listened to the interview you would have heard it.

Just saying.......

[Cringing Negativism Network]

OK I’m watching right now.

Back in a bit.

[Gaffer]

An alternative to just exactly what?

[Jim Robinson]

The alternative is free markets. Woo hoo!!

[JRandomFreeper]

There should be NO alternative. The Federal government doesn't have the constitutional authority to regulate medical care.

Imagine that bloated overly long-haired, hagged out, punk Communist ideologue just bringing up his citizenship out of the air with “I just have to go over this because I think it’s so COOL you can be a dual citizen...isn’t that great?”

This bitch was trying to pull a Stephanopolous (sp/) with his out of-the-blue-abortion question during the debates.

Devious, lying, Democrat BITCH! She should be banned from any interview, moderator job or anything remotely connected with a conservative cause.

[kabar]

They have proposed numerous alternatives and passed a few in the House.

[LibLieSlayer]

Why should we always endorse the left’s agenda by offering an “alternative” to their treason? How about getting the government out of the PRACTICE of medicine as a plan!?

Candy had a ‘deer in the headlights’ look during the whole interview. She can't push Sen. Cruz around like the run-of-the-mill GOP-E lightweights she's used to dealing with.

Candy had a ‘deer in the headlights’ look during the whole interview.

That's a big deer. Perhaps a "moose in the headlights" look.

Agreed, she did all that.

He handled her perfectly, made her shut up with his answers, and did it with a smile!

oh, they fear him big time......

[MestaMachine]

TEXAS, YOU GOT TO BE SO PROUD!

[MamaTexan]

She can't push Sen. Cruz around like the run-of-the-mill GOP-E lightweights she's used to dealing with.

LOL! The GOPe and the media have been lobbing softballs at each other for decades, so when Cruz stands up and tells them to their faces what a lot of us have been saying for years.......

It is a painfully beautiful sight to behold!

[freedom1st]

He did propose alternatives.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

OK I have watched the entire video.

I do support Cruz 100%. In fact he’s perhaps my single favorite politician at the moment.

I really like the guy.

That said, there’s no alternative yet on his side, or on the GOP side.

I see the GOP opposition as nothing but “no” at the moment.

I want to see more than just “no”. Sorry but that’s what I see.

I want more than just “no”. I want the GOP to strongly take leadership, with a real alternative.

At the very least, a House version.

The GOP still isn’t in front on this issue.

Just my opinion.

Love this Texan but would have liked Cruz to stop down the interview every time Crowley conflated “healthcare” with “health insurance.” Uninsured people have access to healthcare if they want it and he should have drawn the distinction. It was a perfect opportunity.
