Cruz is firing many accurate broadsides.

But that ain't gonna win us the war! Ted, Program, Plan, Specifics .... that's what we need to get the Republic back on track. Spell it out, boy!

Give me a 15-step platform.

Reagan tried that in 1976 with his $90 billion budget cut. That may have cost him Florida in the primaries. In 1980, he did promote Kemp-Roth (30% tax cut), income tax indexing, and a precursor to NAFTA, and getting rid of Dept of Ed and Energy (Oh well). Of those, only the NAFTA forerunner could be thought of a a positive plan or program.

Sadly the public attention span fades.
Mitt, love him or hate him, tried to communicate a bullet point approach.
15 is to much for the short attention span theater that is modern politics.

I say start with three to five.
Borders
Defense
Taxes

EXACTLY! I keep hearing from Republicans, Conservatives & others that the Conservatives have to start spelling out what their plan of action will be, in a step-by-step explanation. No more adjectives and empty sentences. TED,PLEASE SPELL IT OUT AND YOU'D BETTER START DOING THAT NOW...PEOPLE ARE WAITING TO HEAR WHAT YOUR PLAN OF ACTION WILL BE AS IT PERTAIN TO SPECIFIC ISSUES. SPELL IT OUT!
Go, TED,Go! And all other Republicans/Conservatives must start doing the same now. Leave them a note on their Facebook pages, on their web sites message centers, call them & tell them to start SPELLING IT OUT. Demo-socialists/communists/marxists know how to get the word out to the masses...the Republicans, Conservatives must start NOW and get the word out for all to hear.

Cruz is very intellegent, as all attest (even Dershewitz), glib, and incisive. I also am anxious for my favorite candidate to put some meat on the bones, build a basic platform for a campaign.

I had the same desire for Palin as well as Cruz, that is, to advance from one dimensional messaging and sound bites, into more complicated themes. She never did.

Cruz will, if he is serious about running to win.

(He will have to because Rand Paul will force it.)
