Ted Cruz brought down Boehner-- and he's the only candidate that will dismantle and rebuild the GOP.

Trump stands for many good issues- but Trump is not ideological- he's more a Chinese menu... some big gov't, some small gov't, some Dem, some GOP. As President, he may get his way with the current GOP-- but he won't change it.

The only issue in this campaign is turning the GOP into a true small government, constitutional party- without which nothing else matters.

Yeah, Baby!

Cruz is doing the right thing. Trump has broken the wall and brought the truth and national feelings to the front. In turn, this has force the communist to up their game and field Bernie Sanders and shove the beast to the corner. We’re at the critical juncture and we should back Cruz (intelligence and principle) over the conservative Ross Perot.

Ted Cruz is this nation’s last hope. Trump serves a purpose in destroying the GOP-e, calling out pussies for being pussies, and giving a voice to conservative viewpoints ignored by the Lamestream Media, but he ultimately does not have a proven commitment to conservatism. Cruz is the man who will make America great again, and Cruz is the man who will take credit in making liberals either into conservatives or too terrified to reveal their true intentions.

Cruz is great but no track record in this game from a get it done perspective...

I understand your zeal, my family in Illinois were GOP from the beginning and I never remember any relatives with that leaning either.

Let us be pragmatic and strategic at the same time... Trump opens doors and Cruz works on the cleanup and realignment of the Government. Trump knows all about building teams and not micromanaging them. I from a purely professional standpoint see his type is needed now after Lefty Limpwrist. NOT saying Ted is not a man, but Biggy D can pick up his personal phone and call the sme folks Ted is trying to reach, but cannot....

They are on the phone with a doer, not a dreamer and Ted with some time in grade will do 2 terms following Trumps. The other way it is 2 Ted and then...

GOPe rising...

2 Trump and 2 Ted Kills the Dem lineup and keeps the culture normalizing. A key role for the VP is helping State governments to get their crap together so they can act independent of the Mothership as they have become used to.

There is a LOT to do as we all know, this is the time to turn back the Progressives and drive them to the dustbins of History

Sic Semper Tyrannus!

HOT DAMN!

Who doesn’t stand with Cruz?

Jeepers. You gotta have some pretty rarified criteria not to back this guy. He’s the real thing.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) electrified conservatives at the Values Voters Summit in Washington on Friday. . . . Upon each declaration, Cruz received huge applause and a standing ovation. . . . Cruz has perhaps the strongest socially conservative bona fides in the field. . . .

There is no question that Cruz was the favorite of that crowd today. He absolutely brought down the house.

Cruz vowed to rescind all of President Obama’s “illegal and unconstitutional executive actions,”

...

That’s what Reagan did to Carter’s Executive Orders. Compare that to W, who made Clinton his brother, refused to issue vetoes, and started growing the government like a Democrat.

Cruz didn’t bring down Boehner. I think that Meadows fellow and his cohorts had a lot to do with it. I also think that Boehner might go into rehab after next month. Don’t credit Cruz with doing things that he hasn’t done - like he is some kind of hero or something. He isn’t dismantling the GOP - they rebuff him at every turn. That’s speaks well of him, by the way, but i think you are quite the dreamer.

*****************
I’ll get to your erroneous assertions in a later post, but I must first respectfully inquire-— why do you feel the need to engage in gratuitous, ad hominem comments? Please tell me, I’m curious.

But, but, but....his wife works for Goldman Sachs!! Which makes him an enemy of humanity and probably a closet Marxist.

And he supported more visas for tech workers!

He’s clearly a RINO.

The only TRUE conservative is this guy who lives on the outskirts of Wichita, has never held public office, tasted liquor, missed a week of church, set foot on an Ivy League campus or dated anyone who has done any of those things.

I want to say his name is Fred something.

I’m curious as to why you don’t know the meaning of ad hominem., It means name calling - I don’t think saying someone is a dreamer is negative, and it isn’t.

I sent the link of the video to everyone in my church family.
I received back some replies from people who were surprised at Cruz and his passion...because, all they have seen of him so far has been from the debates where as we know, he basically has played it low key.
