MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) tells Breitbart News that he’s “very, very seriously” considering launching a presidential candidacy for 2016. Cruz adds that he thinks a bold conservative needs to win the GOP nomination next time around, or else he fears Democrats are likely to win the White House as they did in 2008 and 2012. “God bless South Carolina. South Carolina has historically played a critical role in helping select Republican presidential nominees,” Cruz said in an interview here at the state’s Tea Party Coalition Convention: South Carolina’s central role has been ensuring that we nominate a strong conservative. And when Republicans nominate a strong conservative with a positive, optimistic vision, we win. It’s the pathway to victory. So I’m thrilled to be here in South Carolina. You asked about 2016? It’s something I’m looking at very, very seriously. I got to tell you, the encouragement, the expressions of support that we’ve been receiving have been breathtaking. I’ve spent the day just meeting with grassroots activists, sitting here at roundtables with Republican women, with Tea Party leaders, with small business owners, with young people—answering their questions, listening to their concerns. The support we’re seeing at the grassroots but also at the financial level, the support we’re seeing from donors who recognize what we’re doing isn’t working and we’ve got to change paths. Really it’s been humbling and it’s been overwhelming. When asked if politicians Washington—both the Republican establishment and the Democrats, including Obama—missed the point of the midterm elections, Cruz replied simply “yes.”

I’m in for Cruz.
Do it....
I’m still saving money for when he declares.
But won't because it's no longer the GOP but the RINO party which is an offshoot of the Treason party aka Democraps aka liberals which is why I call the one party 'running' our country the "LibRino party". Cruz should run as an independent because the Librino party is going to do everything they can to destroy him so they can insert their token traitor and proceed with their faux election in which they make pretend they are different parties with different candidates.
You know you want Huckabee or Jeb. (just kidding)
I like Ted Cruz too!
Ted Cruz supports unchecked legal immigration and pathway to citizenship as Rubio.
—missed the point of the midterm elections,
If he does, I’ll run a campaign office here in Hollywood because I’m an abrasive rightwing MF..and I hate libtards.
Expect many attacks on cruz if he says he is running...
He’s going to take Ron Paul’s base away from Rand. Ron is going to give it to him.
Cruz do not expect me to send money to you via GOP....just a warning.
I do love ya man but not that much. I will hand deliver it or POB it.
SI SE PUEDE!!! I’m for CRUZ CONTROL...GO CRUZ!! When he announces that he will run for president. Just watch a huge flood of people will be joining Cruz’s side that will make the Titanic tipping over look tame.
Cruz is the only wall-to-wall conservative of whom I’m aware.
I’ll listen to Scott Walker.
The rest are not conservatives on many fronts and fundamentals.

Yup - American needs to go on Cruz control.
