The entire interview is fascinating-- Cruz is sui generis- he's a gift.

THIS is why Ted Cruz should be POTUS and why the rest pale in comparison.

“Now, this is what Justice Scalia was talking about in his dissent...”

And unlike reading Scalia’s dissent - I can actually understand what Cruz is talking about. Not only is he very smart and understands what is going on, and can talk about it in detail off the top of his head - he can speak it in language that most people can understand. I could listen to Cruz all day. (Hey - I did watch his filibuster for hours on end!)

He does have a gift. I would say he is Blessed by God.

Ted makes the other candidates seem like babbling idiots.

He’s got to win Iowa and New Hampshire coming up to get a boost in the media because he turns people around that have only heard about him through media filters like CNN, ABC, NBC etc. The more people that hear him direct for the first time the more his following grows.

Donate today tedcruz.org even if it’s only a small amount because June 30 the report goes out to the FEC from all candidates regarding donations. And small donations by a large group of people send a large message.

Ted Cruz articulates in reasoned argument supported by the law and the Constitution. Like WF Buckley, Ted Cruz cannot be dismissed by the Left as some “rube conservative”; this because he defeats them in intellectual argument.

Since when has an intellectual argument ever convinced the LIV's or the Vagina voters, not to mention the Marxists and their presstitute butt boys?

He’s got to win Iowa and New Hampshire... ,p> While it is conceivable that Cruz could win one or both of these contests, he doesn't have to actually win them. A top 3 finish would insure his campaign is viable.

Donate a small amount because the donation report goes out tomorrow. If there are a lot of small donors, then Ted gets a boost in the media.

I believe you’re dead on target. That’s why these polls don’t concern me. We all saw how Newt, with 2 good debates in SC, became the frontrunner- but lacking money- he couldn’t stay there.

Like 2012, people will flow to the conservative who they feel all other conservatives will unite behind—— so, as you said, when they realize just how good Ted Cruz is— he’ll be the one.

I hope all will encourage him to call for states to regain control of their powers not enumerated in the constitution. At the same time we must lean on our state legislatures to do so.

Interestingly enough, the white house has already stated that they intend to ignore today’s supreme court ruling on the EPA.

Made 3 donations in the last three days. I want his financial report to be impressive.

I just donated again.

https://www.tedcruz.org/donate/?cid=FO0122&amount=25

I’ve never donated like this multiple times in one day. I hope others are doing likewise.

I want to see a glowing report of an army of small donors getting behind Ted Cruz. The FEC report gets filed tomorrow.

To: Don Corleone

Well, Don Corleone, with all respect, I certainly agree with you— mainly because I don’t want to wake up to a horse’s head.

But, please consider that the only chance for Ted Cruz, or any other conservative, is to appeal to the 70 million who don’t vote. And they don’t vote because (1) no one motivates them to get off the couch; and (2) there’s no difference between the parties. Ted Cruz, like Reagan, is attempting to show that there is a difference.

Con tutti respecti

He does have a gift. Don’t forget his appearance on Hannity tonight.

Great! I hope there’s like a million of us out there. I donated 2 times today. I hope last minute small donations are pouring in heavily.

It is interesting that Cruz has been into the belly of the beast several times recently...and done well EACH time.

No other candidate can handle it...nor do they do it. I think he is honing his skills.

I love how relaxed he is when he talks with Leftists...they really can’t get under his skin.

Let’s cut to chase, the Commies have taken over. I’m for someone who has real fire in his belly against these commies.

Ted Cruz is the only real representative of anti-communism we’ve got, his father a strong anti-communist, having escaped the clutches of Communist Cuba. His father knows what it is, likewise his son. Both father and son have THAT kind of fire in his belly.

I don’t think most of the other candidates really even know what socialism is, and how it leads into communism, they speak vaguely about it.

To put it simply, the commies are in control, we need an anti-communist in the drivers seat. Ted Cruz is that man.

Fascinating! I have said it before and I will say it again, for this time, Ted Cruz is the best conservative candidate. Why? We are are in a time of increasing lawlessness and departure from the constitution. Even worse, a lot of people are either ignorant or dismissive of what is going on.

Cruz is the best equipped to explain the constitutional system in language that is understandable and also steer the ship closer to where it should be. He is a true constitutional scholar.
