Iran Stands With Rand
Buchanan continued, “the guy that’s going to do well, the individual, I think he’s got to show some real passion and fire and energy and ability to communicate, and there’s no doubt I would put Cruz in the top level there and the second one I would put behind him for rolling that route is Rand Paul.
Rand Paul has daddy’s baggage. Cruz would make an excellent attorney general...and eventually USSC judge.
I read an article that already identified 23 interested R candidates.
Given the 2014 elections, the collapse of the Obama charade, and the perceived weakness of the Clinton Crime Family, the Dems look a bit less formidable than it did in 2012.
Let the fun begin!
Completely firm and unapologetic in his convictions. Eloquent, explains things well to appeal even to the low-information morons.
Quick on his feet when dealing with duplicitous, cunning Rats and press 'enemies domestic' in debates and question-and-answer sessions.
Great sense of timing and humor.
Can take a snarky question from a greasy pressman or Rat, turn it around, and jam their gears with the answer.
He is the MAN!
WRONG! It's a WINNING strategy. Liberal Republicans go down in flames in the general election.
Mor-TON!
Cruze to VICTORY with Ted.
I would wholeheartedly support Cruz.
I am probably in the minority at FR in liking Rand Paul. He is very capable at presenting libertarian ideas such that they do not seem at all extreme. He has sought alliances where he could find them- even with Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren on specific issues.
NO MORE Senators. We need a strong governor in the WH. Preferably Walker or Perry or Kasich. Cruz should get 8 years of gubernatorial experience in TX, then run.
Not risky at all. Reagan proved that.
Butt, butt, butt, what about jep and mittens?
A choice between Cruz and Paul for a conservative voter is like a choice between an M16 and a pellet gun for a soldier in battle.
Go Ted Go
Rand can stay home
Won’t matter. The eGOP will give all their financial and advertising support to Jeb Bush. The eGOP likes to anoint the winner and leave the rest as show, as though you actually had a choice.
So he is discounting the elite wanting Jeb?
The establishment worries about the “extremism” of Cruz and the Tea Party elements that support him. Nonsense. Rand Paul being nominated would be a total disaster. The media is pushing hard for him because they will tear him to pieces. They will say he’s more liberal on foreign policy than Democrats are. They will morph him into his father and with all the outlandish things Ron Paul has said over the years that could be damaging. I’m seeing positive articles about Rand Paul in liberal sites and blogs so that should be a red flag to all of us. They know he’s very beatable in a race against Hillary or Lizzie.
The winner will probably be a governor.
Cruz
I will support him with my vote and my checkbook.
Well I agree with Buchanan except its going to be a problem raising money for Cruz if the Texas donors back Jeb or Mitt. I worry how he will raise the necessary money.
