But johnny, chances of Cruz getting the nomination are slim. I would even say unlikely. I would say Cruz getting the nomination would be like the Indians' win in "Major League." Possible, because all things are possible, but ... unlikely.
You're probably right my timing is off ... but on the other hand ... offense is what we need, and offense is what the R never plays.
Cruz does play offense. He's got a direction, and he means to take American government back to Constitutional grounds of limited government. That is unique to Cruz; all other Rs, every one, still react from a defense approach. I hope it's enough to get him the nomination against a stacked deck. But I'm not holding my breath! {^)
Me, and a lot of people like me are paying real money to make sure Cruz is the nominee.
You are looking for a rhetorical win, as are many on FR, because we haven't had one in such a long time, but rhetoric doesn't feed the bull dog.
Real action and money do.
I encourage everyone to join in working to make sure that Cruz wins.
Armchair warriors need not apply.
