Ted Cruz is a man of destiny.
An idiot at work spouted off about how terrible Cruz is. Give examples I asked. He’s ugly, from Canada, and a Cuban. Oh brother says I. So I explained about his education, his work background in Texas, and his personal convictions and drive. “Well, I don’t like him”. You just can’t argue with these 20-something idiots.
I’m in agreement with that. I think the Lord has something great in store for his future.
anyone dismissing Cruz’s chances is very politically naive.
like President Reagan, Cruz’s principled positions inspire people and he will be able to build a broad coalition of support.
Has anyone noticed that attributing to our favorite candidate a certain victory, a perch on angels wings in sure flight, a certain commanded destiny, and projecting some imagined FEAR onto other contenders and political opposition has nearly always landed Freepers in the ash heap of history, on most all previous occasions.
Not all, but most. It has been kind of embarrassing. Our favorites have been long banned to the butt of jokes, out of the political business, rarely even into any lasting TV punditry, relegated to blogs and cogs, and generally used as some low bar standard to whom current contenders can be negatively linked, negatively compared and smeared.
Ted Cruz has the best chance of all previous conservative contenders for many, many reasons, and stands heads above them all on conservative political savy.
He has not survived or performed by overworking platitudes and red meat, and so far he has not dissolved into any hint of resentment, grudges, or any display of bitterness over the predictable and imperfect treatment by the media. He shows up and seemingly invites it, with confidence, and seemingly enjoys it. Right up to his well timed strike to their frontal lobe.
He doesn’t seem to be even challenged, never mind feeling threatened, by the media rubes. That is, he finds debating with them, child’s play.
We are just lucky to have him on our side. Is he a shoe-in? Absolutely not. It’s quite premature to say that anyone, anywhere, “fears” him.
Yet. :)
