It is not BS. I’m just trying to keep it real. If you’ve been around since Reagan’s time you have to see that there have been seismic social, demographic and structural changes in this country since the 1980’s. Those changes have been deeply profound and we are no longer the same country we were just a few short decades ago.

Step back for a moment and think about the massive size our government has grown to and the fact that it is now involved in virtually EVERY aspect of our lives. With our nearly $100 TRILLION of unfunded entitlement liabilities, we are becoming more of a socialist country with every passing year.

I like and admire Ted Cruz greatly. I would vote for him in a second but the reality is he would be relentlessly savaged by the Democrats, the liberal media, and his own party. (Don’t underestimate the power of the GOP’s entrenched interests that control the party.) And most people in America today are not interested in the themes that under lied the Reagan presidency. They don’t care about personal freedom and liberty; all they want is more entitlements and government largesse. Sadly, few are desirous of being that shining city on a hill.

There are just too many socio-political headwinds against a Cruz candidacy IMHO. You may disagree however he epitomizes principles that many fear.
