Ted Cruz’s ‘Donnie Jr.’ Strategy

Hillary, Cruz, Rubio, Jeb are all acceptable to the globalist ruling class.

You in Colorado, smoking giant doobies? Putting Cruz with the rest of that scum is more than insulting, it's more than ridunkulas, is more than falmingsane, it's something a demonRAT would say.

I'm not telling you who to vote for, just offering an opinion.

I don't disagree with your emotions, nor your understanding of moderates and conservatives.

Both those emotions and that understanding gave Reagan landslide wins and his place in history.

None the less, while Reagan's memory lives large, what of his legislative legacy remains?

Again, I'm not telling you who to vote for, just offering an opinion that there are several ways to view what is in front of you.

Whether he wins or loses, I believe that the current "Cruz for President" campaign is considered a big win, though not in ways or with people you might agree with.

Good luck! What will be, will be...we'll just have to wait and see.

Cruz is just being himself. I see no change in him from two years ago. He is not trying to be Trump.

Journalists have to write to stay employed, but some of the tripe they produce is unpalatable.

The guy is right on one thing:

“They’d (GOP Congress) actually prefer Hillary. Now no one’s ever going to say that publicly of course. But half a lifetime of covering these people has taught me a few things about how they think. And one of those things is this: Intraparty personal hatred is much more visceral than inter party personal hatred. The prospect of someone they hate in their own party having more power than they have is like the bitterest, foulest bowl of hemlock these people can drink. Trust me on that.”
