Cruz/ Walker or Palin looks promising..

UNLESS.......

Massive voter fraud is NOT factored in...
Not to speak of covert and overt GOPe malfeasance..

Then any republican challenge gets IF’y.....

I am a Cruz fan but not fan of Viguerie. He's a fraud who today passes himself off as a friend of Reagan's when the truth was that he frequently undermined Reagan with hostile and unfair public criticism.

Reagan certainly didn't seem to like or trust the man much, once writing of Viguerie, "You know this so-called conservative has never been for me." (Source: Richard Viguerie- The Voice of Reagan?)

And here's a link from Google books to a page in the book Reagan: A Life in Letters which is relevant to this subject of the history of Viguerie's relationship with Reagan.

I find it quite entertaining how the lefties and Establishment DIABLOs are wetting their pants over someone who is articulate, smarter than the average pol and has values to which he sticks.

Free market capitalism is the alternative to Obamacare

the innovation and lowering prices you see in the electronics industry is because it is less regulated than healthcare

First they criticize you, then they attack you with lies and smears, then they throw all manner of evil accusations against you and then you win.

"But other than his oratorical skills, Cruz is entirely unsuited to be president. Luckily for America, his candidacy is likely doomed to fizzle."

Because I say so.

If Obama can win, Cruz can win.

Poor Danny Vinik can’t be serious.

His head is so far up Obama’s backside that he can’t even recognize his own partisan blindness and foolishness.

Just look at what happens when you replace “Cruz” in this excerpt with the name of another Senator:

That episode wasn’t an outlier. Throughout his time in the Senate, Obamahas shown a distinct lack of interest in policymaking or governing. Instead, he has calculated every move to prepare for a 2008 run. Every politician considers the optics of their positions, of course, but Obama has taken it to the next level, with little care for how his actions affected the Democratic Party or his colleagues. In doing so, he probably doomed his candidacy.

They’re petrified.

You bet your sweet bippie they are. They know if people have the choice between Liberty and this lie upon lie of mushy nothingness and a yoke of regulation and dependency around their neck, they will choose Liberty.

If he has a modicum of success with the likes of a Flat Tax, a new free market health care system, and potentially re-tooling all the entitlements, he will role back the Leviathan almost all the way back to FDR and that has them ****ing their pants.

Once tasting liberty, the DNC could loose generations of up and coming voters, and they know it in their guts...

In one of her books, Ann Coulter said that liberals see conservatives in one of only two ways: they are either stupid, or evil.

Bush was stupid.

Nixon was evil.

Reagan was considered to be both evil AND stupid.

Well, Cruz appears to be another twofer for them, so that may be good for everyone else.

Funny how liberals do that. I am re-reading “Blacklisted by History” again, and it is almost humorous all the communist front names...who could be against peace, freedom and things like that?

Which was exactly their goal.

Interesting that the MSM here now says Bibi had to go more conservative to win — saying ‘no’ to a two state (final) solution.

Yet here the MSM and ‘experts’ keep telling conservatives they can’t win and they have to support the middle of the road sellout candidates.

This Danny Vinik is a recent graduate of Duke University. More evidence that I Am Charlotte Simmons really captured the intellectual climate at that school.

Funny how the liberals are willing to give up so much for false security and don't even realize they are being manipulated while claiming to be the intellectuals of the world

> What they don’t get is that it isn’t just optics. They can’t conceive of anyone actually meaning these things.

After 6 years of a pathological liar can you blame them?...: )
