I don’t want to know what the writers at Salon like to sniff.

I apologize if my reply seeming offensive. I meant to agree with you, but it seems that I didn’t express myself well.

Ted Cruz, of course, is somewhat charismatic—and also has a bit of “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” in him.
He’s totally charismatic when he goes 100% candid - the left is learning this miserable lesson - and he is the epitome of Mr. Smith. I think Ted has been planning to de-corrupt DC for ten if not twenty years.

It could also be the start of a “Stouthearted Men” trend. Others may be emboldened as they see no, the sky did not fall when Cruz dared ask for a laundry list of the eminently sensible.
Or, they could stand back and hoot.
Walker is probably going to go along, just my gut feeling. Might end up being the veep to Cruz. Others? Dunno.

I just looked him up. Among other useless ventures, he was “Field Organizer” for Democrat Tom Wolf for about 3 months last year during Wolf's campaign for PA governor.
Great. Another “organizer” who has never worked a real job. No wonder Obama is his hero.

What else does he not know?

Ted Cruz doesn’t have A prayer—he has millions of ours.

Yet ANOTHER great Cruz day! Hearts are lightening all over the USA! Ted will be our de facto President before the primaries get here, at this rate!

The sad thing is that some of those whom Cruz expected to stand with him, in a stand that was both principled & actually very pragmatic, made a major tactical error--from their own standpoint--in not doing so.
Cruz's stands are readily explainable. (How To Respond To Anti-American Lies In An Election.) Those politicians who have allowed the media to intimidate them over certain issues, are largely worthless as leaders. But watch some of them appear to gain courage, as Cruz starts to gain momentum.

Better late than never. I am forced by the grace of God to see things on a heavenly level. It is the devil we are bound to fight, and even the most craven human in our view might (for all we know) turn from folly. It is not our job to damn the eternally unrepentant since we don’t even know who that is. It is our job to try to win as many souls as possible while it is still day.

Cruz is handily apropos (in Spanish) of the Cross of Christ, which is the suffering He underwent for the sake of carrying away the sin of us sinners who did not deserve such favor in the least. But it made it possible for Him to carry sinners into His resurrection power.
Cruz is going to have a huge spiritual burden, again apropos of the name. He is willing. Are we willing to do our part, and carry the burden to God on our hearts in prayer?
Could it be a poetic upset is coming up? Cruz to victory, then “Walker” out of the now empty political tomb?
