Anyone who predicted last spring that donors to Texas Senator Ted Cruz's then-nascent presidential campaign were setting their money on fire is probably feeling pretty foolish right about now. Yep, that was a boneheaded move right there. In the six-plus months between Cruz's presidential announcement at Liberty University and Wednesday night's third GOP presidential debate, his campaign has been both adeptly run and increasingly lucky. About 90 days out from the February 1 Iowa caucuses, Texas' junior senator is looking good. Well, not him so much, but his campaign.
This week, especially, has been fun for Cruz. Monday, he picked up the endorsement of Texas' most powerful elected official, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, joining forces with someone who supported one of Cruz's opponents during Cruz's 2012 Senate campaign.
"Senator Cruz is the prescription for what ails the Republican Party and this country," Patrick said. "This country has been in malaise for eight years. Our party has been asleep for more than eight years."(continued)

Unpredictable tends to irritate some folks it appears, that is Trumps game, i applaud his thinking of acting and making decisions as if he were POTUS right now, cause things could happen in just hours that would indeed create the urgent need for him to be President.
“Paul has faded into pointlessness.”

OH! That hurt! Caused me to snort a slug of beer out my nose!
If the republicans cared about us voters, theyâd close primaries.

Amen! Open primaries have caused many problems in Texas and other States due to crossover voting. Here in TX, you at least have to vote for the same party ballot that you did in the primary. ....Then voter fraud sets in...
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
LOL
Full disclosure: Steyn said it in reference to Obama, but I think it's just as applicable to Rand.
