Ted Cruz’s Surge in Polls Angers Rubio Supporters
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | November 25, 2015 | Javier Manjarres

He has been called a “Whacko Bird” by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and other establishment Republicans in the U.S. Senate. He has been called an “extremist” and a Tea Party Republican that likes to hang out on the far right fringe of the GOP.

Detractors, especially those who support his amigo in the Senate, Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) , make fun of his voice and appearance, as well as how he delivers his message.

Haters from the Rubio camp and those Democratic Party talking points-spewing armchair quarterbacks, who think they can accurately foretell the future when it comes to the 2016 Republican presidential primary race, have better come to terms with the fact that Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is very much “electable.”(continued)

If not for his involvement with the gang of eight, Rubio would be the de facto consensus candidate of enough wings of the Party to win the Primary.

Ironic that the gang of eight might be his Waterloo.

“Ironic that the gang of eight might be his Waterloo.”

We need to count our blessings for that.

We don’t need a pretty face but a first rate mind. That is Ted Cruz in spades.

Circumstantial proof that God is still smiling on America.

Thank God America is awakening.

I don’t see anything in the article at all that makes the argument Cruz is electable, other than the author screaming it. Cruz’s electability issue is with the general election not the primary.

I wish that were not the case, but it is.

Like a 13 year old school girl. At least you expect a grown man to be more original, and not copy a coffee shop in Ohio

Why do you say this?

Cruz is electable. No matter how many times the MSM and Karl Rove says he is not. I have tons of faith in Mr. Cruz.

I relish the thought of this SOB having to call Ted Cruz "Mr. President"

That argument in RINO quarters against Cruz should be expected. This is why conservatives in certain states should be focusing on Senate candidates who do believe in controlling the purse and getting the government out of our bedrooms, kitchens, backyards, churches, and schools.

Even if it meant resorting to defunding and government shutdowns.

And by campaigning using those issues and asking why the go along, get alongs bipartisans refused to use these tactics which should have been applied with this bunch of socialistas bent on destroying this country

“Bush isn’t even mentioned anymore.”

yeah, but that might not actually be a bad thing for Bush at this point. Might give him a better chance of holding on to his 5.5%.
