“To me, he’s just a guy with a big mouth and no results…”
By now, you’ve heard that Ted Cruz thinks he’s running for president in 2016. Ted Cruz’s entire political career has been marked by opposing progress. He has no significant legislative or leadership record to speak of. But let’s be clear: Ted Cruz is not a serious candidate. He is not a serious politician.
He is a serious pain in the ass.
His own party rejects him, and that rejection highlights the schism inside the Republican party. In an interview with CNN, Rep. Peter King said that Senator Cruz is just a “big mouth” who has “basically led the Republican Party of the cliff.”
“To me, he’s just a guy with a big mouth and no results,” King said.

Cruz is kidding himself, playing out the fantasy of his ridiculous supporters.
Cruz appeals to a far-right moral conservative base that others in the party tend to be more distanced from. He is more akin to Dr. Ben Carson in the reasons for his political rise. Neither Carson nor Cruz is a legitimate potential contender though.
Both lack the political power to rally the social conservative base of the Republican party in a serious way. He’s virtually hated by the party at large. What Cruz is banking on is that the fundamentalist branch of the GOP will be strong enough to win out against the moderates of the party.
It won’t be. He will lose.
Beyond this, his positions are pathetic. Take healthcare as an example: Ted Cruz wants to repeal Obamacare and replace is with nothing. That’s an irresponsible tactic that fits perfectly with Ted Cruz as a congressional politician who would rather make philosophical grandstands than pass meaningful legislation. As a potential president, his position is wholly unacceptable.
It becomes clear that Cruz will stop at nothing to drive his esoteric positions home. He is willing to divide and ransack his own political party to gain headlines. As a president, he would almost certainly be willing to rip apart this nation to garner himself more attention.
While it may be getting him attention from fundamentalist extremist conservatives, it won’t play well on the national stage with voters.
Ted Cruz is kidding himself and playing out the fantasy of his ridiculous supporters. Ted Cruz will lose.
Bada bing. Exactly. .. they sure wrote a lot about a guy with no chance.
Go look.
he repeated his claim that Cruz will lose...twice//
Roy Orbison did a lo better version of “running scared” ... than this Just In Lane...punk
ooh, why is the liberal left all in a tizzy about Cruz.
Cruz stakes out the right forcing other GOP to moderate and go a bit left. Forcing the Democratic nominee into the nether area of Progressivism.
It makes it all the more harder for them as their liberal liberal base isn’t enough, even with 90% of the black and 50% of the hispanic vote.
But more importantly, it will showcase each and every failure of this administration and the complicity of the Democrats in Congress.
It’s unlikely that Ted Cruz will win the nominee, but it’s not below 7% by my estimation. That puts him in the 15-1 medium shot category.
Ted Cruz’s entire political career has been marked by opposing progressives.
fixed it Peter queen.
First they ignored him, now they’re mocking him, and when they grow the ‘nads to fight him, he will have already won.
This is all hyperventilating-nancyboy lingo for "he disagrees with me".
But nowhere near the utter hatred by most of us for Obama.
Just to see this livid, irrational diatribe, MAKES my day. I love it when people get virtuosically upset, I bet they are peeing in their pants. BRING IT ON. MORE.. TED CRUZ.
If he has zero chance of winning, why has every liberal mouthpiece in the nation been attacking him nonstop for the last seventy-two hours?
Haha. But John McCain could win, and Mitt Romney could win!
“Asked and answered, your honor.”
They are scared Merdless...
How are the nazis gonna try and paint Cruz as stupid?
I can’t wait to see him against hitlary if her and her crooked penis husband aren’t in jail by then.
Belittling the achievements of a minority is racist.
Holy mackerel, they’re scared. I had no idea. I’m as of this moment all in with Ted.
++++
Me too.
I posted the valid reasons why The Left is scared of Cruz earlier today:
1. They are afraid he can win.
2. They are afraid that if he does then things will get better.
A successful U.S. after 8 years of policy failures is what keeps them awake nights.
Rape murder arson and rape

Please libs, keep underestimating Ted Cruz.
If this guys last name wasn’t kennedy, he’d be living in a homeless shelter and receiving zero attention. If Cruz has so little chance then why are all the cockroaches coming out of the woodwork to take a bite out of him?
