Asking someone to imagine a better world is hardly speaking “at” them.
Get back to us when you have argued nine cases before the Supreme Court and won them all, OK?
Charles C. W. Cooke is a staff writer at National Review an idiot.
Fixed it.
Of course he is. Another liberal talking head taking cheap shots at Cruz.
National Review should commit suicide rather than being liberals pretending to be conservative.
STFU Cooke
Charles is wrong on both counts. Ted is speaking FOR us.
The pile-on by NE Republicans continues. So who is the favorite according to this writer - Charles C.W. Cooke?
Got through about half of this. The writer is telling a lot more about himself than he probably realizes. His mention of Joel Osteen is a clear indication that he works off his emotion, suspicion and a store of half baked impressions.
The elite are more scared than the Democrats.
There will be several top notch candidates for the GOP. I’m waiting to hear from all of them before hitching my wagon to any of them. The field is wide open and the primary season will be long and arduous.
One thing for certain - I do not want a conservative version of BO. I do not want arrogance and grandstanding. I do not want slick oratory and I don’t want a celebrity persona. I do not want a candidate who drives liberals up the wall just because we it’s fun watching liberals blow a gasket.
I don’t have anything against Cruz, but I like to see the full menu at the restaurant before deciding what I want.
And how would this guy classify obamas condescending lectures?
We always hear about the great number of people who have dropped out of the political process and refuse to vote. I think that is because they are tired of the whole Washington insider political game. They know that most politicians say what people want to hear to get elected, but once in office, they do what will help them get and keep power, not what they promised to do to get elected. People are discouraged and cynical.
I think if Cruz can succeed in talking over the media and the GOP establishment, he may actually be able to excite and motivate those people who have given up hope in changing Washington. Even those who may not agree with him on all issues will know where he stands, and know he does what he says. And that kind of integrity can win over a lot of people, as we saw with Reagan.
Yup..real conservatives always quote NBC..
Empty criticism.
Not everyone shares his aesthetic tastes. Those who are wiser look beyond superficialities to policies and position, competence etc....
[I expect that Cruz will push the Republican field a little to the right, but that he will ultimately fail to catch fire.Moreover, I’d guess that if Cruz does somehow end up as the nominee he will lose convincingly.]
Father God,
We come against these word curses and declare “No weapon formed against Ted Cruz will prosper.”
May he look to You for wisdom, strength, and guidance.
We are thankful that the government rests upon Your shoulders.
In Jesus name we pray. Amen
We don’t even know how to appreciate a statesman anymore. He may need to work on that for TV debates. Personally I don’t need a salesman if they aren’t solid at the core. Cruz is solid.
Strange. I’ve never gotten the impression of condescension or superciliousness from Cruz’s speeches...rather, the opposite.
Perhaps Cooke is confusing him with Jeb...?
Is he suggesting that Cruz have a “listening tour” like Hillary did? That really helped her out! Snort))))))))
