Cruz seems to be our only answer. 3 weeks after a double XX landslide !, the GOP, media, etc. refuse to see the reasons behind the election.

I like how Gov. Walker has thwarted the libs, but Cruz would light some fires and lead the charge. Not sure about Scott Walker. Someone must make the case, forcefully.

Our nominee must be ideological, not a pragmatist, and able to sell same. Plus, he must have a will of steel.

In a word, another Reagan: a man committed to conservative beliefs, capable of communicating them and willing to see them through to victory.

Cruz is that man.

Cruz destroyed the Fox meme that the government shutdown in 2013 was a disaster for the Reps. It is a wonder that Britt Hume, Wallace, and the rest of the MSM still try to perpetuate that myth with a straight face. What more evidence do they need after the 2014 historic shellacking?

Cruz led the way with his filibuster on the floor of the Senate. He energized the GOP electorate. It is time for the opposition party to start acting like one. Even when Reps win and take control of Congress, they still act like the minority party. The Dems react differently when they are in the minority. They seize the agenda and put the Reps on the defensive. All of a sudden, the GOP is supposed to compromise and stop the gridlock in Congress. No mention of the more than 300 House bills that never saw the light of day in the Senate.

The dirty little secret about the Senate Gang of 8 immigration bill is that Reid never sent it to the House. Why? Because it violated the Origination Clause and could have been "blue-slipped" and sent back to the Senate for revision.

I agree with you about Cruz. He is the only candidate I see who will be conservative enough to carry forward the points I feel are important.

Many claim he is too conservative.

Is he Barry Goldwater or Ronald Reagan? Those two were not that far apart. I believe it was the times which cast the outcome.

If Cruz is put up against Elizabeth Warren (likely possibility) then it will be like Nixon wamping far left liberal George McGovern in 1972.

In 1964 Goldwater faced a very strong incumbent riding coat tails of a slain President.

Cruz is worth the gamble.

Exactly Ted Cruz may bwelbe the best answer e have for nominating a truly Conservative candidate. Trouble is we need to all get behind either him or a reasonable facsimile and soon or splitting the Conservative vote will cost us dearly in 2016.
Meanwhile:

Sharyl Atkisson now doing what she does bets with Hungry Howie on FNC. This gal gets better and better every week. Always the story never her or the bad guys or good guys only the story and loads of “truth” a huge missing link for driveby commentators. She is as good as journalism gets. She also gives a birds-eye-view of what goes on with the big nets. How they manipulate the news its truly disgusting.
Atkisson may be the best journalist in America today.
