Watched all of it. Heartwarming, thank God for Ted Cruz.

You don’t get much better than this.

Folks....send $$$$

He will need it. Not only will he be fighting socialist, he will battle against his own party, big government republicans that will fight tirelessly to defeat Ted.

After Jimmy Carter’s fail four years, Ronald Reagan came and swept the nation to become one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever known.

For several election cycles now, we have been complaining about the lightweight "RHINOS" that the GOP keeps nominating for president.

This is our opportunity folks. Ted Cruz is about as good as we could ever hope for, save exhuming Ronald Reagan himself. Let's get behind this guy and stay the course. Let's not have the circular firing squad this time around.

Honestly, the last time I felt this good after a campaign speech was after Sarah Palin's at the 2008 GOP Convention (or after she went "rogue" at Shippensburg University on October 26, 2008, a date I will remember forever, being there in person).

Cruz or lose, there is no other way!

[Timber Rattler]

If the Paul people were students, then there is not much the University can do about it if they behaved themselves, and it looks like they did since there were no disruptions. Heck, Cruz’s speech was so good, he might have even won a couple of them over.

The evigenicals are notoriously fickle.

“Cruz or lose, there is no other way!”

Absolutely!!!

As the snarky FOX News team were quick to point out that "student attendance is mandatory," so Paul supporters were bound to be in the Liberty audience and no way was or is Liberty going to "screen" the students showing up at these events.

The screening is done long before today and Cruz was merely trying to make his case for their support!

Agreed. His speech moved me in many ways. Pray Gods protection for this man and his family. This country needs Cruz now, more than ever.
