FoxNews' The Five attacked the newly announced Ted Cruz presidential candidacy on the same day as his announcement. You expect Juan Williams and Dana Perino (a mindless Bushbot) to oppose him. But, Eric Bolling said Cruz is just not ready and Greg "Congenital Idiot" Gutfeld opined that Cruz is only running because of his own self-importance.
Well pardon us for our lack of sophistication and enlightenment.
Next time we’ll just roll over.
I have not watched FOX for years.
This is one of reasons. They are not Fair an Balanced they are unbalanced to the LEFT.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Ted Cruz is going to catch some Netanyahu lightning in a bottle and shock all these nattering nabobs of negativity. I don’t really know about his chances, but he is one of the rare individuals that have appeared on the scene who is actually very principled, sincerely moral and religious and is advocating the true conservative brand.
Yes, someone on the panel did chime in and tell him that. The hits on Cruz were hurled so fast I couldn’t keep track of them all. I sat there in disgust as all but KG flamed Ted Cruz.
Cruz does not depend on fox
If Cruz loses because of stuff like this it will mean he was a weak candidate himself.
If he's powerless before the skepticism that candidates usually have to face when they start out, how good a candidate or president could he actually make?
Yeah, I was surprised at Bolling too. He does say he likes Scott Walker though, which is good. I think a Cruz/Walker or a Walker/Cruz ticket could be a big winner. They could really threaten the status Quo in Washington to great populist appeal a lot like Reagan did, and it’s high time.
Thanks for the info. Would be nice to get rid of Juan.
Only turn on Fox in the rarest of moments now. Their Leftist slant trashes them for me.
They’re Bushbots or Hillary snobs.
Ted Cruz’s chances are very very very good:

Test patterns are more interesting.
Third party is how blacks forced the dem party to run black candidates after the voting rights act. Thats how jim clyburne started. Time to thonk third party.
I like Walker. But I like Cruz more because he and I are policy twins. Cruz has a genius IQ while Walker is probably about high average. Both have demonstrated a willingness to take on left wing shiboleths but only one has taken one down. Neither has military or foreign policy experience but you can not have everything. Either would be exponentially better than King Putt. I will donate 4 figures to either in the general election.
Why anyone on this site pays attention to anything FNC is beyond me. The only reason FNC “rose” is because there was a vacuum and FNC for a while filled it. Now, they are no different from other networks with only slight variations in how they go about market “share”.
I loathe that coffeehouse hipster show the “five”.
Thankfully, a couple of talking heads at Fox will have absolutely no effect on Ted Cruz’s campaign. They’re insignificant.
Yep he does have an IQ deficiency. I have noticed it in the past with his thought processes and his sentence structures.
But, whattaya expect from a baseball player?
He is a good match for Juan, just on the side politically.
As to the others, they can suck eggs, rotten ones at that.
I don’t watch much television on the tv and wish I could get One America News but I do on occasion watch the five for entertainment only.
Zero of the five would ever defend an evangelical but we are the anchors of this nation. problem is, the libs and moderates keep making the chain longer by adding links and the nation is about to flip but they won’t admit it.
So 20% of the 5 support Cruz. Polls say 4.6% of Republicans support Cruz. I think a lot of work has to be done. I favor Cruz but he is not going to be anointed. He will have to change minds.
I don’t think Walker can stand up intellectually in a nationally televised debate. He is a good conservative but when you got national MSM, having been trained on “gotcha” questions for conservatives, will give him any leeway. They will sink the knife deeply and give it a twist or two.
