Ted Cruz: the tea party candidate

Since 2009, the tea party has changed politics. In 2009, millions of people took to the streets to protest the irresponsible fiscal policies of the Obama Regime. In 2010, the tea party movement swept the Republicans into control in the House of Representatives. The tea party movement came close to winning the Senate for the Republican Party.

While tea party favorite Sharon Angle was running for the Senate seat held by Harry Reid in 2010, Donald Trump was busy contributing to Harry Reid.

And that is the problem with Donald Trump.

Today in 2016, he is appealing to the tea party to support him. Much of his support is as understandable as the origins of the tea party in 2009. Seven years ago, the Democrats were busy pushing the Obama agenda. Meanwhile, the Republicans weren't doing much of anything.

Conservative voters had become more and more outraged in the second Bush term as Republicans abandoned all pretense of being the party of smaller government and fiscal sanity. Because no one was listening to real Americans, the tea party was born....

Everything you raise and anything more can eventually tie up this man. There are months and months of this for a reason. The destiny is Hillary.

have to be honest, cant argue either way. didn’t watch debate,

i’ve seen enough of them.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

yeah we have to do something it’s not looking good

[Harpotoo]

I haven’t seen the TEA Party Patriots endorse anyone yet so spin spin spin...

..... Conservatives have to win the White House this year. Conservatives have to put someone in the White House who will put conservative justices on the Supreme Court as well as the rest of the federal judiciary....

LOL - I’ve been told that now for years. Conservatives have to win the Senate. Conservatives have to win the House. They did and are just as bad or worse than the liberals there. Not buying that line anymore.

... What happens if we lose one of the conservative justices and President Donald Trump decides he wants to appoint his friendâ Hillary Clinton to the Supreme Court?

There you go. Someone in the media is finally asking my question. SC is right on the edge of taking away our gun rights and completing the progressive agenda and the trust DT who trashed Scalia? Insanity.

This is indeed the fastest way to destroy the republic. Donnie has lied so much that I do not trust him.
You guys just keep on with your blind support.
He is a reality star who knows how to play the public.

"What happens if we lose one of the conservative justices and President Donald Trump decides he wants to appoint his friend Hillary Clinton to the Supreme Court?"

You can never tell how SCOTUS picks might work out.

"Roberts is one of the best constitutional minds in the country." - Ted Cruz

"John Roberts is undoubtedly a principled conservative." - Ted Cruz

"As a jurist, Judge Roberts's approach will be that of his entire career: carefully, faithfully applying the Constitution and legal precedent." - Ted Cruz
