This is a rare campaign where I would look to go all in. I give a little here and there for Bush, McCain and Romney. This is one to get excited about for once.
Mary Landrieu used to be a real estate agent.
She can help find properties after the Louisiana runoff.
That'll fit well on a bumper sticker!
Cruz will win states that Republicans haven’t touched in years, ala Ronaldus Magnus.
during the 1970’s democrat Jimmy Carter was president. the economy and country were doing badly with inflation and unemployment over 10%, Iran holding Americans hostage etc.. I had lost hope .
Then in 1980 Ronald Reagan became President . And it was morning in America again. Cruz can save America:
My biggest worry is that he will be the ideal conservative, smart candidate but that the media machine will Palinize him. Millions of LIVs still believe that Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house.
He needs to get out in front of that, but I’m not sure what they are going to characterize him as. Palin was “Stupid Bible Thumping Hick.” It worked.
One thing Cruz has that she didn’t is that he is a member of a Media Protected Minority. One way he could get out in front of criticism is to play that up. Anything he does that is religious should be Hispanic Religious. He needs to start dropping references to things in mild Spanish like “my abuelita always said” (abuelita is basically english here in L.A.). He needs to make it so if they are harsh on him, they might look “racist.”
It’s not that he needs to play up his roots for votes; its that he needs protection from mocking that his roots might provide. Otherwise I fear he gets alinsky scorched from day one.
Palin, Cruz, or LOSE.
What’s the maximum campaign contribution to a Presidential candidate?
....” quiet decision to begin searching for a campaign headquarters location is the latest indication of Cruz’s seriousness about a White House bid”....
I’m all in! Go Cruz go!!!!!!...let the fundraising begin! Somehow I imagine that’s already been in the loops for some time..(smiling)
Doesn’t surprise me at all. And the earlier he gets in the better the chance of keeping fringe candidates out.
