Ted Cruz graduated with honors from Princeton and the Harvard Law School, one of whose distinguished professors, Alan Dershowitz, has gone on record to say that Ted Cruz was one of the most brilliant students he ever taught.
Senator Cruz also served as a Appelate AND Supreme Court clerk; was integral in winning Bush v. Gore and Heller, was Texas Solicitor General, came from far behind in the polls to win his Texas Senate seat; and in a matter of little more than a year and a half in Washington has become a front runner for the Republican 2016 presidential nomination, picking up the most coveted Conservative endorsement — Sarah Palin’s — along the way.
Ted Cruz is an expert at winning, and if he thinks he can win the presidency in 2016, who are the rest of us relative mediocrities to disagree with him? [chuckle] After eight years of President Obama, only a towering genius will be able to undo the damage. And Ted Cruz is the only candidate who even remotely qualifies. Rand Paul and Jeb Bush, his principal opponents, are both mediocre products of nepotism; they inherited their father’s supporters.
Do we want a better country or not?
What do you think about Scott Walker?
2nd Div, you are preaching to the choir. But we have a problem. I want Cruz to be President. But he is being Palinized.... BY THE “RIGHT.” (GOPe). The left can be getting pedicures while our STATISTS do all their work.
He is brilliant. Hope he has strategies to fight the media. If we could get the truth to the voters, he stands a chance. But after a certain amount of mocking in the public eye, a candidate gets too tarnished to function.
It will take more than "towering genius" to undo the damage. It's going to take a "will of steel" (with more than a "dash of ruthlessness") to overcome the self-centered inertia of the Washington establishment -- as has just been amply demonstrated by Messr. Lott.
And, indeed, Ted Cruz is the only candidate who even remotely qualifies.
