“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.

Bullshi...er... Bull obamastuff
.
36 years of massive immigration have left their mark and the demographics today are of a much less white population.
Assuming he makes it to the General, Cruz will have to pull off some kind miracle with Hispanics or get pretty much every white vote, besting even Romney, who got a higher percentage of white votes than did Reagan in '80.
Meanwhile the conservative base turns out like never before for Senator Cruz.
...One can hope!
Libtards with their heads spinning around. I am loving it.
[Ted Cruz Has Zero Chance of Winning]

I think “true conservatives” deserve the chance to prove their theory that a truly conservative GOP nominee can be elected.
I don’t believe it’s true, but it is important to test the theory.
I’m sure it’s been asked before but if he wins the nomination, who will the GOP establishment back?
“The hatred towards him is extraordinary.”
As I recall, they did the same thing, with an unbelievable amount of hatred, to Bush. And don’t forget how they also went after Sara Palin as soon as she was named as McCain’s running mate. They sent “journalists” to Alaska to dig up anything they could possibly use against her. They are a miserable lot of sub-humans who do not have the slightest idea what real journalism/reporting is about.
The Left always tells you who they fear the most.
Reagan had the personality of smooth butterscotch ice-cream. Cruz is much more in your face type. But Cruz is more intelligent than Reagan and better debater. You betcha he knows what the Bush Doctrine is. I would rather have Cruz debating Hillary than Reagan.
Cruz received 40% of the Hispanic vote in Texas as part of his Senate win.
If he can tap into that vote on a national scale, that would be huge. And serious.
You find the best photos! Lol
Good post.
