The difference between Ted Cruz in 2016 and Barack Obama in 2008 is that nobody had ever heard of Barack Obama in 2008, and so he had to build his base.

Ted Cruz, on the other hand, already has a very large and loyal base who will do anything it takes to see him in the White House.

Another difference is that Ted Cruz is MUCH smarter and more articulate than Barack Obama.

Actually, Obama's base was handed to him by the Rat apparatchiks, who began grooming him at the 2004 convention with his keynote speech.

But yeah, how dare Cruz do what King Barry did! (rolling eyes)

Another major difference also is that ObaMao hates this country and Western Civilization.
