while Cruz is supposed to be a constitutional expert,

Supposed?

Cruz is supposed to be a constitutional expert,

[Slyfox]

People ... let us not fear when Carville's pick has such a hill to climb.

[Amendment10]

And you may be right.

caveat emptor

[terycarl]

I like Cruz a lot, as vice president under Walker...Governors have managerial experience and accomplish things....senators vote on things that others accomplish...

[taildragger]

He would not say that unless he wanted to run against Cruz. Not a good sign.

James Carville for all that he is that may annoy us is a talent in his own right and can see other talent as well.

It is the same respect a fighter jock has for his adversaries and their aircraft and sometimes would love to try their aircraft, but I digress ;-).

James spoke the truth, Ted Cruz is a once in a life time political talent, leader, and constitutionalists. Let's work our tail off to make him "Mr. President"....

[P-Marlowe]

Have you checked his resume?

[SoConPubbie]

I like Cruz a lot, as vice president under Walker...Governors have managerial experience and accomplish things....senators vote on things that others accomplish...

How about we compare the two objectively:

Scott Walker:

Republican Governor WITH a Republican Controlled Legislature, BOTH chambers mind you.

Ted Cruz:

A Tea-Party Senator who has sponsored many, many righteous conservative bills in a Senate that, until lately, was controlled by the Democrats. Add to that a GOP-Establishment Leadership that is not conservative by any means and hates his guts and has and continues to try and undermine his every effort, to the point of warning off campaign contributors to his Super-PAC and disparaging him whenever they can.

In short, all Walker had to do was move his wrist and sign the bills as the Chief Executive of Wisconsin, the Legislature of Wisconsin did all the heavy work of creating the bill and getting it through the congress of Wisconsin. If Walker even didn't have one GOP-Controlled chamber of the Wis. Legislature he would not have had anything to sign.

[Amendment10]

I haven’t seen Cruz's resume. But I know that he went to Harvard Law School (HLS). So his HLS alumni include the following.

• Barrack Obama

• Michelle Obama

• Chief Justice John Roberts

• Justice Antonin Scalia

• Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

• Justice Anthony Kennedy

• Justice Elena Kagan

• NY Senator Schumer

Corrections welcome.

By the way, I will vote for Cruz if Republican nominee.

[Windflier]

...while Cruz is supposed to be a constitutional expert, the same thing was said about lawless Obama.

Whoa... Have you not even casually studied Ted Cruz's record/biography?

The man has a list of accomplishments that is outstanding in this day and age. His understanding of the Constitution and the principles which underlie it, are second to none.

Look up his bio on Wikipedia. It's one of the most sterling resumes you'll ever read.

[P-Marlowe]

I haven’t seen Cruz's resume.

Then shut up about his qualifications.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Remember what Rush says. Libs always “say” they fear the weakest candidate because they know the can beat in head to head.

[okie01]

Bear in mind that while Cruz is supposed to be a constitutional expert, the same thing was said about lawless Obama.

One big difference: Cruz is demonstrably a bona fide expert on the Constitution. Check out his biography if you've any questions in that regard.

Whereas Zero's claimed expertise is an equally demonstrable lie.

[VRWC For Truth]

Please shaddup. Walker is GOPe. You are the problem and not the solution.

[Amendment10]

"Then shut up about his qualifications."

I accept that as your best reply.

[freedom6178]

Love it!

[magglepuss]

I voted for Ted in the primary.
I voted for Ted in the runoff.
I voted for Ted in the general.
I vote my principles.
I vote my beliefs.

I abhor those who deign to act otherwise.

Those who call him unelectable do so because they do not want him elected.

I look forward to establishment mouths aGOPe when in 20 months, Ted’s excellent adventure continues!

[Amendment10]

Thank you for listing Cruz’s credentials. But the only thing that matters is if Cruz acknowledges that the states have the lion’s share of constitutional authority to serve the people, as opposed to the constitutionally-humbled feds.

Otherwise, it’s just a matter of time before we have another president as lawless as Obama.

[P-Marlowe]

Get off the thread you big dummy!

[Amendment10]

"Get off the thread you big dummy!"

Do you know where in the Constitution that Congress’s constitutionally limited powers are found?
