I’ll vote for him, if I get the chance. Virginia usually falls after the RNC has crowned the designated loser.

Screw the GOP. Bush, Rove, Dole, McCain, Romney, Boehner, McConnel, Snowe, Collins... They are losers and liberals. Yes, I will vote for Cruz regardless of the GOP. Cruz has the GOP pissing their pants.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Yes, if he finds a few good men and women with a couple million to donate. These will be donors as yet untapped by other candidates. I suspect a number of conservative business owners would support him, such as the owners of Dominoes Pizza, Hobby Lobby and Chick Fil-A.

No.
Boehner, McConnell and the leftist media will make sure of it.

No problem. In the end Cruz will win or lose on his ability to make his case to voters and if he does not self-destruct like so many candidates before him.

Conservatives will vote for him in droves.
I can tell you this: if he doesn’t get the nomination, and if Walker doesn’t, whoever else gets it will lose in the general election, because every conservative of principle will stay home, or write in someone else, or leave the presidential vote blank in the voting both.

First Hispanic President. If the GOP had even a partial brain they would run with that. Would shut down the lib’s attacks as racist, bring in Hispanics, a win-win. But then I’m never sure the GOP wants to win.

The first hurdle will come when the GOP decides which candidates will even be invited to the primary debates. With 12 to 20 potential candidates, they will create a threshold system, and you can be assured they will do whatever possible to make it one that Cruz does not meet.

It’s a real longshot.
I still think he’ll do about the same thing Fred Thompson did in 2008.
He’ll be the favorite here the same as Fred was but Fred topped out at about 12% and never had a real shot.
After the 3rd primary with no wins the money dried up.
I’m expecting Ted to do about the same JMHO.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
They will or many are not going to vote any more. No joke. That will be it. Either he becomes the candidate with the will to get some things fixed in this nation, or many of us will be finished with it. Let it go to hell.

I will influence EVERYONE I know to stay home and not vote if Ted Cruz is not nominated.

George Washington was a firebrand. Patrick Henry was a firebrand. John Adams was a firebrand. Thomas Jefferson was a firebrand. James Madison was a firebrand. Andrew Jackson was a firebrand. Abraham Lincoln was a firebrand.

It looked to me like they threw the last two Presidential elections.
