“That’s a pitiful response my friend. Its completely devoid of any serious commentary, insight or facts that would give you any credibility. Your lame ad hominem attack is also amusing in its complete lack of an attempt at thoughtful discourse.”

Your oratorical attempt to sound right is squashed by the harsh reality of facts, which you conveniently ignore the way a lib would by saying “different time, different place”.

The overwhelming fact is Reagan was indeed elected against the tide as he found a way to communicate. You say it is impossible for someone today like Cruz to do the same.

Hogwash. And the Whigs thought the same as you: they were the superior party to the GOP. and look where they are now.

If Cruz gets the 2016 nomination I’ll be happy to buy you a Texas sized stake dinner.

Again, I admire Ted Cruz. He is smart and principled; maybe the best conservative out there today. But he’s no Ronald Reagan, who was a very likable former movie star, a two term governor of California, and a great communicator who had the invaluable experience and good will of two previous runs for the presidency. A unique combination of qualities and experience for anyone to go up against.

And thank you for characterizing my comment as “oratorical”. I appreciate the accolade. :)
