Seldom are we granted the privilege of witnessing brilliance matched with irrefutable truth relentlessly driven home by the brilliance of Ted Cruz.

I am stunned to read comments on this thread to the effect that somehow Donald Trump deserves the credit for Ted Cruz' courage.

We have just witnessed a searing indictment of the Republican establishment, the Democrat party, that corrupt relationship between the political Washington and K St. We have just been exposed to the most cogent political discourse on why Washington is dysfunctional and why we conservatives have been betrayed.

These remarks by Ted Cruz stand as one of the courageous orations in the United States Senate where collegiality is valued above every other virtue. It takes courage to call the majority leader of the Senate a liar to his face as Ted Cruz has done. It takes extraordinary courage to stand on one's feet for one hour and indict one's colleagues of corruption and cowardice as Ted Cruz is just so resolutely done.

Of course Cruz deserves full credit for this remarkable indictment of his own party leadership and the backbone needed to deliver it.

It’s no insult to Cruz to say that Trump has stirred the pot and brought some of the scum hiding at the bottom to light. Trump and his brash antics have set the stage for the eloquence of Cruz.

Maybe Cruz will be Lincoln and Trump merely John Brown. We shall see, but it takes both firebrands and orators to inspire a movement.

They compete for the top spot, but in this primary and beyond, the must defeat a Republican machine whose gears turn in concert with the machinations of the Democrats.

Sadly, it’s a banzai charge. Cruz has been triangulated & marginalized. Tag teamed by the GOPe/MSM/Dems and ground down to single digits in the polls. There’s no way he can get the beltway stink off him at this point. He’d have been better off running for governor of Texas, IMO.
