It just floors me that folks think Cruz is TOO radical, TOO conservative. ... The only downside to Cruz running for president, is it will leave open a Senate seat.

Amen, Bro FReeper.

The GOP is locked into playing defense, hitting back at those Democrats! All reactive to Democrats! And here's Cruz, whose basic mantra is "remove branches of government tyranny." His whole approach is offense, removal of excess government and amoral tyranny. He's consistent, and Constitutional.

He's saying what millions of Americans have been waiting to hear. Kinda too bad he has to risk all as a Republican, and all bets are off if the party fails to nominate him. The party image is a bad joke, stuck on "Coke" to the Democrats' "Pepsi" brand of government, and people are disgusted with the game.

Cruz is going on offense, taking back territory, and I will vote for offense.

Just remember this...after Jimmy Carter's miserable four years in office, Ronald Reagan swept the nation during the election. Think he lost one state.

This could quite possibly be a historic election.

Think about it...the last election, the country moved right. Won the majority in the U.S. senate, more seats in the U.S. house, won majority governorships, statehouses.

The country solidly moved right. Could this be a signal of what to expect during the 2016 election?

Perhaps.
