“Maybe World War III has started already,” said Paul Teller, Ted Cruz’s chief of staff. We were sitting in the senator’s office under the ten foot wide modernist portrait of Reagan at the Berlin Wall that dominates the room. ”We always thought it would be nuclear weapons but…” He shrugged, a quizzical look on his face, as if he himself were surprised at what he had just said. But I knew where he was coming from. Who wouldn’t? The Middle East was in flames, the whole complexion of Europe changing, and America had turned tail. And we didn’t even know at that point, it was Wednesday afternoon around five, that Russia was flying cruise missiles into Syria.
I glanced over at Nick Muzin, Cruz’s deputy chief, and he didn’t seem to disagree either. Muzin is a MD/JD and Teller a Ph.D. in government. The senator clearly surrounded himself with smart guys. It spoke well of him.
And it wasn’t just guys. The day before, I had been sitting in the same spot with Victoria Coates (Cruz’s foreign policy adviser), Rachael Slobodien (his communications director) and Cruz himself, talking about many things, but mostly foreign policy because I was there on the good offices of Dr. Coates. She is an art historian, no less, with a Ph. D. in art history from UPenn....

"May you live in interesting times."
But [Cruz] did say explicitly that he thought a good portion of a potential cabinet might be standing on stage with him at the debates. We may be seeing very interesting, and perhaps surprising, combinations of the top six down the line.

What do you think, Vet? Trump would make a great Press Secretary?????

Ohhhh, that would be so sweet.
The ongoing invasion of Europe by young Islamists hasn’t hit the radar screen for most but it seems the most immediate threat. Beyond that the multi sexual weakening of Western morality and the massive drug culture are next in order. No list would be complete without BLM and anti capitalist mobs.
Want to make people faint? SecState or SecDef.
DHS.
Yeah...Art Historian working in the Senate!
Europe is toast...it will look like Syria in 25 years.....US is not far behind unless the kids wake up....

Well, all I know is that, when one of those Trump guys starts in with Cruz as VP, attorney general, Supreme Court-— I now have my stock answer.
I think I am moving Cruz up to place #1 in whom I’d most like to have dinner with. Not that I could keep up with him intellectually but it would be fun to try.
It’s started.
Especially with Ted leading, he can talk them half to death and they will capitulate to shut him up...
Not that he will do anything, but boy he will talk about it
TS Elliot was wrong. Not even a whimper.
Paul Teller? Odd coincidence, Edward Teller’s son is named Paul too.
Cruz’s campaign is not as good as I had hoped.
But the man is phenomenal. He would attract all the best conservative talent from everywhere. Only RINOs hate him.

Actually, from what I’m reading, his campaign is excellent in the sense that he has intricate organization in each primary state.
Cruz is building an army— he just hasn’t engaged yet.
