These people seem to be scared silly by Ted Cruz. That’s fine with me! I love the guy!

We finally seem to be getting somewhere.

Cruz 2016!

David Brooks makes it sound as if the rise of Ted Cruz is a bad thing . . .

David Brooks is a liberal tool. Pay no attention to him.

Nice little ping you did there. Thank you. [smiles]

Good for Ted Cruz. Anybody who can put the left’s panties in that much of a twist is all right by me.
