Better. Reagan had leadership qualities that were desperately needed. Cruz adds strong conservative credentials.
And he does actually seem to be a quicker thinker on his feet. He’s really able to stay focused and cut through the BS answers when questioning others.

It appears to be the case.
Totally agree!
I've called every one of Cornyn's numbers in Texas and all the phones are super busy or off the hook.
His hair is thinning which is a major impediment to his electability.
Can you imagine the look on the Obama-ites faces when they realize that Ronald Reagan is not dead?
1. Ted Cruz is eligible to run ... I think he is
2. I hope he does run
3. I hope that Ted has no major skeletons in his closet
4. I REALLY hope that if there are one or two rumors of skeletons found that the conservative base will vote for him anyway.
Remember if the MSM does not find skeletons, they will make some up.
Ted Cruz Ping!
Let me know if you want on/off this ping list.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
So far that’s how he’s tracking, absent the great career in B movies, plus the law degree and appellate court bar experience, plus the hispanic heritage. Otherwise exactly the same. No, really his position in the party is very much like Reagan’s. He is leading as a movement conservative and trying to bring the party to him.

Whoever gets on the ticket in 2016, will have one hell of a fight to break down the walls of her Majesty Hillary’s castle protected and guarded by the elite Liberal guards of the MSM. Its not going to be a clean fight, that’s for sure, one wants to become the President, the other feels its an entitlement.

Defunding Strategy Could Spell GOP Victories In 2014

Congress: Let’s applaud the steadfast Republicans pushing the “defund ObamaCare” strategy. Forcing Democrats to vote yet again on this costly, job-killing health reform will help defeat them next year.
Critics of the “defunders” — and there are smart, principled minds within their number — warn that Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah and the Tea Party Republicans in the House of Representatives are saving President Obama from his various failures and scandals.
That depends. Cruz is unfairly accused of having no endgame. Actually, he does, and he outlined it for RealClearPolitics.com. If Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid rejects the House bill, thus setting into motion “a government shutdown to force ObamaCare on every American,” then the House should respond not by approving another big bill funding the entire government, including ObamaCare, but by passing smaller government funding measures that withhold ObamaCare funding, “one at a time, starting with the military.”
The goal? “Dare Reid to keep voting to shut down the government.” And if “Senate Republicans unite, red-state Senate Democrats will be next. And that is how we win,” says Cruz.
As columnist Byron York points out, Cruz and his allies believe that if the Senate’s 46 Republicans stand together — as all GOP senators did on a toothless defunding measure in March — it will force Reid “to adopt a procedure that would require a 60-vote threshold to pass an amendment striking the defunding provision.” This “would allow Republicans, if they stay united, to stop Reid from taking out the ObamaCare provision.”
Despite Cruz’s cannibalistic savaging at the hands of fellow Republicans, this sharp former Texas solicitor general has two valuable things on his side. One is that in championing defunding of the (far from) Affordable Care Act, he is simply keeping a campaign promise his less courageous attackers also made...
I liked watching Cruz and Prince Harry go at it yesterday on the floor of the Senate.
Call these scumbags too!
