IMHO Ted just got wound too tight during the election process. He needs to take some time off, unwind and let his vision clear. I honestly think he was on the verge of going off the deep end.
Have you finished licking your wounds yet?
There’s a seat waiting for you on the Trump train.....
I don't think a decade or two in the Senate will make Cruz better as a candidate. More likely it will just leave him further out of touch with your average citizen. Cruz tried to win the game by gaming rather than by standing for something. Yes, he claimed to be the world's best "conservative." But what does it mean for someone to be so doctrinaire? Bill Cristal considers himself a world class conservative and yet he's willing to deny millions of voters the right to choose their candidate.
I used to like Cruz but I prefer Trump partly because he doesn't crave the power. He literally would rather be doing something else but can't stand to see the country run into the ground by nincompoops. The people who say Trump's not qualified are nuts. First time out of the box he smoked six governors and 5 senators. People say he's not conservative but I disagree. It's important to note that pure doctrinaire conservatism doesn't necessarily appeal to a majority of Americans. Someone who's pragmatic and has common sense is more important than slavish allegiance to a political creed. Trump can appeal to a cross section of voters large enough to win.
I'm confident Trump will make an awesome president because he's a natural leader and fearless. Finally we all have to realize the win isn't yet in the bag. There's so much at stake hidden players who stand to lose their golden goose aren't going to surrender easily. Americans need to stay sharp and make sure our candidate takes it into the end-zone because you can be sure there are forces out there who will stop at nothing to defeat him and so between now and November is the most dangerous time for our country. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. There's a lot of work to do.
Will Ted even get elected again?
Quit reading when article suggested that Cornyn was a model for Cruz.
If Cruz wants a future, he needs to grow up and become a patient, constructive senator. If it's meant to be, his time will come.
And for God's sake, he needs to stop the preachy style of speaking. He's such a know-it-all.
Supreme Court?
Solid advice for Ted. He’s on the brink of either regrouping and becoming more viable down the road, or destroying his chances for anything else. Here’s hoping he doesn’t have his fingers in any pies trying t make waves through the convention.....
Does Ted know that a failed filibuster qualify as an achievement?
I think Ted really damaged himself with his increasingly absurd antics. The takeaway is that reality really isn’t his strong suit.
I think he’s vulnerable to a primary challenger. And that’s a good thing.
Cruz’s conduct was shameful from the beginning. I don’t care what he does.
A constructive article which probably will not reach its intended audience.
Obama wants to give up U.S. open internet protection.
Ted Cruz is now fighting against Obama’s plan.
