It's funny because every argument the Left uses against Cruz can be turned around and pointed straight at their Chosen One.
I agree - he's the only one with the cajones to make a difference despite all the pressures and roadblock that the Left and the RINOs that work for the Left will put up.
The country needs to have Cruz in the White House to clean up the mess after the narcacist aad thief.
Barry is arrogant, too...but not in a healthy way.
Maybe “courage of conviction” is a more accurate term for Cruz and Reagan.
Hi 2DV,
Interesting article. I always appreciate the articles that you find and post. I have two observations about TC.
First, he is the consummate chess player that is moves ahead of the field. His self-analysis gives him “arrogance” (in a good way) that he is correct. He sees the entire battlefield long before others sit down to the table.
Second, I’m reminded of one of my most hated classes in College; Philosophy. Now years later, I recognize the importance of being required to take it. Like Cruz, there is not a path or life decision made by me that does not involve weighing what is at my core. Cruz is an original. He is intelligent, savvy, educated, personable, and forward thinking. Despite the quick judgments about him he is truly a bridge builder with those that do not have selfish motives. You will never (rarely?) hear of him making ad hominem attacks or calling names. He is always focused on the issues. Senators like McCain and McConnell call him out because they can’t defend their positions. They refuse to engage with Cruz in substance - they know they are not playing the same level.
TC is a self examined man. He is comfortable in his own skin. And, he wants every American to be comfortable in theirs. Reagan was like that. There is no disrespect of others. There is a sense of inclusion, not exclusion. He raises the self esteem of all that come into contact with him. He operates from a belief of abundance, not scarcity.
Enough for now. Again, thank you for your incredible “finds” that you unearth. Be safe my friend.

I don’t see arrogance. I see confidence.
With Cruz' intelligence and political team, I'm assuming he's boning up on biting his lip and mastering tearing up on command, ala the Ron Brown funeral!
What some perceive as arrogance in Ronald Reagan and Ted Cruz would truly be : bold audacity to believe in the American spirit of innovation, American exceptionalism, to have the wisdom NOT to listen to naysayers, to have a vision of optimism.
The true example of raw arrogance would be those of ignore and trash the US Constitution, i.e. current bazaarship ( so called leadership in Congress ) and arrogance in the media, arrogance that is shown daily in Obama.
IMO the only two people who have the force of personality or call it arrogance if you want are Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. All the others will just be place holders for the next Democrat. Trump was right when he said the politicians won’t get you to the promised land.
Deep down, all the others just know Ted Cruz is the smartest of the bunch; by a long shot.
"We" didn't do **it. Many Ukrainians want to be free from ***king Tsar Vlad, imagine that.
