Sen. Cruz scored Robert “Bob” Mercer - that’s huge.

I expect that Perry will simply never announce that he is a candidate. Cruz owns Texas and if Perry can’t gain traction in Texas, his cause is hopeless in other states.

In 1978, Krauthammer moved to Washington, D.C., to direct planning in psychiatric research under the Carter administration.[1] He began contributing articles about politics to The New Republic and in 1980 served as a speech writer to vice president Walter Mondale.[1] In January 1981, Krauthammer joined The New Republic as both a writer and editor.[1]

Yes, I know. But these days he walks and talks more conservative than lib. Maybe he’s faking it!

If there’s such a thing as a “peon” bundler. I saw that the lowest tier is bundling $50,000. I was able to put together about $42,000 for Fred Thompson (in the very short time he was in the race) so I should be able to hit that mark pretty easily.

I worked for President Carter, too, but I was in a uniform, so I don’t think that marks me off as a Democrat, especially since I worked for his replacement in essentially the same capacity.

Plus he has to know that he’s bringing a rubber knife to a gun fight, intellectually, against Ted Cruz.

I am very relieved to see Ted Cruz getting the proper momentum. Jumping in first was really smart. He did not let the others take any early bumps. Jeb Bush has been trying to scoop up all the good consultants and cash quietly behind the scenes.

That being said I am glad we have at least 3-4 good candidates who will spend time from now until the GOP debates start bashing the Dems and Hillary Clinton. They need to be gang stalking her on social media day and night.

I still think she won’t be their nominee. Just a gut feeling.

I have a $5 and pitcher of margaritas bet with a friend that Hillary will not even announce.

Andrea Mitchell came out today and said that this tweet announcement and meeting with small groups of voters “is ridiculous on the face of it” That’s from a leftard lib.

I’m with you. I think OMalley will likely run agains’t Hillary and maybe Joe Biden and Liz Warren. She may not even get the nomination. I’m still not sure she will really announce.

The libs and the GOP-E aren’t laughing at him now...

Nope, but they're whistling past the graveyard, imo.

Cruz is The "MAN with the PLAN."

He's going to bolt right to the front of the pack because his message resonates with BOTH Conservatives and Common Sense Americans.

The LEFT will be stepping up the attacks and intensifying the exaggerated Cruz personality claims.

He is somewhat like Reagan as a speaker. Reagan was able to circumnavigate the MSM and speak directly to the American people. Cruz seems to be zeroing in on using that tactic.

I think Cruz has what it REALLY takes to LEAD America.

Let's hope Cruz, as well as WE Conservatives, survive this next barrage of ATTACKS and LIES that will be unleashed by the LEFT as Cruz takes a SOLID HOLD on the frontrunner position.

Israel, India, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, South Korea, Egypt, Jordan and a few others will all be strong allies of Ted Cruz, I believe. Generally, once our allies - and ‘enemies’, these days, under zero - realize supporting a particular candidate will be advantageous, they form their own support coalition.

Then the banksters start deciding which horse is the most inevitable, and then Fortune 500, and trickle down from there.

If the People have also meanwhile coalesced around a candidate, inevitability is eventually achieved. This happens 18 months before the actual election, except for the actual electorate, which happens about 8 months before, but probably sooner with Cruz.

So policies start changing planet-wide way before November.

I saw my F500 company making Obama-proscribed major decisions more than a year before he was actually elected.

Your observations put depth to what I was trying to communicate in my post #34.

Let's hope that CRUZ metastasizes in a very POWERFUL and POSITIVE way.

He will. Probably 70% of Americans are ‘ok’ with a small percentage of their countrymen being colorful, disobedient, eccentric expressive, out-there, what have you, but they are NOT OK with America’s establishments (.gov, schools, boy scouts, media, academia, entertainment, churches, etc) becoming the Champion of those 3 percent of weirdos.

And the rest of the planet, even those that hate us, are very uncomfortable seeing us go completely off the rails. Sets a terrible precedent for their own people.

Rick Perry should put his efforts to helping Ted Cruz in Texas and nationally.

Looks like with all this money Ted Cruz is in it for the long haul down to the wire well into next spring and hopefully the top contender for the GOP nomination.
