Hey Rubiobots, Ted Cruz Really Is Electable
Shark Tank ^ | November 13, 2015 | Javier Manjarres

There really is no questioning the conservative bona fides of Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, as the “dynamic duo” of the U.S. Senate have both been on the frontlines opposing President Obama’s pro-government, pro-tax, and anti-American political agenda since being elected to the U.S. Senate.

Rubio and Cruz are tied for third place in all of the latest national GOP presidential polls, and after this past Fox Business GOP debate, expect both of these amigos to continue to surge, but still trail Ben Carson and frontrunner Donald Trump.

Many armchair conservative activists, especially the ones supporting Rubio continue to echo liberal Democrat talking points by saying that Cruz is “not electable,” regardless of how trustworthy and consistent he has been since being elected to the Senate.

To quote those ESPN “Sunday NFL Countdown Rhodes scholars,” “C’mon Man!”

The line of attack against Ted Cruz is that he is too far right, too Christian, and that he helped shut down the government with his epic Senate filibuster, in addition to coming across as too ridged.

The same points can be made about Rubio, all except for the fact that he is too ridged. Rubio is just Rubio, and those old and corny jokes he likes to tell still work.

Rubio invokes faith and God more than any other GOP presidential candidates except for Ben Carson, and even backed Cruz’s filibuster on the Senate floor when he took control of the microphone for a few minutes.

Cruz speaks about his faith, but not like Rubio, and certainly not like Ben Carson.

Both Rubio and Cruz are staunch supporters of traditional marriage, are pro-life, and oppose Obama’s entire agenda, except for the little issue of immigration reform, where Rubio stood should-to-shoulder with liberal Democratic Senators Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer to push his Obama-endorsed 2013 Senate “Gang of 8” immigration reform bill.

The only real difference between Cruz and Rubio is their style and delivery. Considering that the man was Texas’s solicitor general, and argued 9 cases in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, of course he is going to sound like he is prosecuting a case every time he speaks.

In the end, it could still come down to Marco and Ted for the GOP presidential nomination, as I predicted many moons ago, but this prediction was before someone by the name of Donald Trump decided to jump into the race.

Americans are looking for a Commander-in-Chief who will project strength and confidence and be willing to kick down doors, kick in teeth, and stand up to foreign aggression.

I believe that Cruz, Trump, and Rubio would meet this challenge.
