>> ""Wait, you just called Ted Cruz a wrecking ball? He'll smash the establishment?"

The choice of terms seems to have some sort of import to you, but I would suggest that you familiarize yourself with Cruz's record, going all the way back to his days as Solicitor General of Texas."

So that's a yes? Or no?

I'm just asking if you think Ted is the right tool for this particular job - smashing the status quo to pieces before it kills us. And it is going to kill us very shortly with amnesty and naturalization. Is Ted up to this? Has enough of Trump's Save America agenda rubbed off onto him and the others? ( that's not snark, you must admit that not one word of this subject would have been uttered without him, correct? ).

Without extreme action now your vote will not matter in 2020 and thereafter. It will be offset by at least one, possibly two (D)ummycrat Invaders. But by all means disregard this and vote as if this does not matter. It's a free country, for now.

My apologies. I misread you.

Yes, I have no doubt Ted is absolutely the man we need. I don’t know if you’ve watched any of his interactions with the media or—for example-—the way he recently took apart Medea Benjamin of Code Pink. She and her bunch of freaks crashed a rally he was holding, and he engaged her. By the time he was done, that rat-faced shrew had been silenced, and she was staring at him in confusion and bewilderment. He actually got her to agree with him on a point or two.

Cruz says in his book that politics as usual and the Washington cartel aren’t getting it anymore...people are sick of them and their lies. He said that we need someone who can get up there and “shatter glass.” Now he isn’t bombastic and he doesn’t yell like Trump. But he is just as effective. Cruz is a sharp rapier where Trump is, well, the wrecking ball.

Cruz has been studying the Constitution since age 14. As Solicitor General of Texas he argued case after case before the Supreme Court, fighting for the rights of Texans under the Constitution; many of those wins had far-reaching effects on other states. And he was very good at gathering support from other states when he needed it...twisting arms, when necessary.

His Senate campaign was a study in how to overcome a popular, well-known, very wealthy self-funded opposing candidate. Cruz was polling at -1, according to one estimate...no one knew who he was. But he ran a modern, grassroots “guerrilla” (his term) race that brought him a sizeable win when the pundits and political class thought he didn’t have a chance.

And, of course, he has been fighting the GOP since he became a Senator...sometimes surrounded by GOPers screaming in his face. He doesn’t give a damn...he only cares about the people who elected him.

I would sincerely recommend his book. I’m reading it now and I’m finding it quite informative; it confirms for me my decision to support him.

Ted is a pit bull...his bark isn’t as loud as some, but it’s deadly.
