Good! Senator McConnell is a liar. He lied in order to get reelected, and he lied in order to get a Republican majority in the Senate. Then, he sold us Republicans and Conservatives out with his “30 pieces of silver.”

Any true Conservative who has done their homework can clearly see Cruz is the one and only BEST choice. Besides Trump (which the jury is still out on), any other GOP running is more of the same.

Like I said, Trump/Cruz should form an independent party with Trump at the helm due to his personality won’t let him play second fiddle to anyone.

Cruz would pull the ticket down. He is at 4% and has an unusually low number of people willing to vote for him as a lesser evil.

We need to keep Cruz & Trump in our prayers. Don’t believe for a minute ‘the establishment’ won’t fight back including taking a life for the good of the cause.

Remember JFK ?

This is another link to the video:

http://therightscoop.com/ted-cruz-slams-mcconnell-accuses-him-of-lying-on-senate-floor-says-he-cant-be-trusted-video/

It is one of the best political speeches I have heard in a long time.

It is ridiculous to accuse Cruz of doing little or nothing. Trump and others have little to show compared to Cruz.

If shutting down the government was his only accomplishment, it would be more than all other candidates.

Cruz has argued nine times before the Supreme Court— winning 5 of those cases.

He is the best debater and advocate in our field.

He deserves much higher ratings than walker, rubio, or Bush.

Somehow I suspect that if anyone does the scurrying, it’s going to be Reince and spit, and his merry band of weasels!

True.

Funny thing about polls... It identifies the targets for the candidates with money.

If you recall the 2012 primary, early polls kept shifting. Gingrich shot up because of his debate performance, but he didn't have the campaign warchest of Mitt Romney. Romney rode out the low polls until "super Tuesday," when he carpet bombed Gingrich with negative ads.

Gingrich dropped out the following week. He didn't have the funds to continue, despite his polling.

I have a feeling that Jeb Bush is similarly positioning himself. He'd like to be higher in the polls, but he has the funds to clear the field and be the choice by process of elimination, if not popularity.

The problem is Trump, who is popular and also has the funds to ride it out, regardless of polls. And if it comes down to two left standing, Bush and Trump...?

Ted Cruz was just now on with El Rushbo. He has crossed the Rubicon to be sure.

I can't remember the last time a politico uttered the "L" word. Yes, the Rubicon has been crossed. It's all out war now.

Good for Ted. He was fooled once, but he won't be fooled twice.

Cruz isn’t getting the media attention like Trump is. Please watch these very recent videos and you decide.
