Ted Cruz has high-profile, possibly very good upcoming week

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is likely to draw the national spotlight next week with a legislative trifecta: a funding fight over the Department of Homeland Security, a vote for a new attorney general and a review on the future of NASA.

At the same time, Cruz will be hoping to make a splash among the Republican hard core for his possible 2016 presidential run by speaking and mingling Thursday at CPAC, the meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Cruz, a neophyte politician elected in 2012, became a household name with his 21-hour floor speech leading up to 2013’s partial government shutdown. He seems poised to reprise his role as a shutdown cheerleader, supporting Republicans in the House of Representatives who have tied homeland security funding to rollbacks of President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration.

In the Senate, there are not enough Republicans for the 60 votes needed to proceed to a vote, and Democrats have stood firm against undoing Obama’s easing of deportations of nearly 5 million immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally.

While a Texas federal judge Monday blocked Obama’s executive actions, Cruz and other conservatives are still pressing for a tough DHS funding bill with the immigration provisions intact.

Cruz’s strategy, unsurprisingly, is to blame the Democrats...

Plenty of jabs at Cruz in that biased opinionated garbage.
He's over the target,

Neophyte? We’d have been overrun with Islam by now if Cruz hadn’t prevented Gore from winning POTUS in 2000.

Yawn... Scott Walker is about to pass Right to Work...

---

After his Statehouse (his handler) woke him up to tell him he’ll be having to sign it soon so he’d best get a press release together about it!

Unknown? When he won the Texas seat as a Tea Party candidate most of America knew him. Now they fear him and his father.

Pray America is waking

For criminal invaders or American Citizens?

We need to figure out who in the Wisconsin Statehouse is prompting and imploring Walker to do what he does do and make THAT guy a contender for Cruz’ VP.

[MaxMax]

Part of that fear is that they cannot control him, they have nothing to blackmail him
with like they are doing with Boehner. He is a threat and they darn well better fear him
because heads will roll and they cannot shred those documents of Treason and guilt.

I doubt Cruz is a player of their college games either.
Heads will roll Palin style.
