I’ve always been of the opinion that Cruz was always aware of the potential pitfalls he might face and decided to run a trial campaign to address them, like the question of his citizenship.
I don’t think he was running this time with the intent of winning, but rather to get those issues addressed and then run in 2020 or 2024, being baggage free and a much higher name profile, try to win.
My opinion hasn’t really changed on that.
Let the family grieve, let the body be put in the ground and the eulogies given. There is plenty of time for blocking Obama.
Ted, of course, will not be able to contain himself. Just watch.
Well said.
I think Rafael wants the SCOTUS gig personally. Lots of job security and he can issue his opinions with regularity. Right up his alley.
If he was smart he’d team up with Trump in exchange for that. Off the record of course.
There’s no question that there is dealings going on as we speak.
Nice list!

Thanks for sharing that Mrs Obama
I agree and I hope the moderators have the decency not to even bring it up. The man hasn’t even been laid in the ground. What the candidates say about it right now has absolutely no bearing- actually it only matters what the two Senators in the race do in the months ahead if Obama nominates someone.
Jibber on
Yes it will.
Right on. Just cause McConnell’s boy, Canada’s Elmer Cruz, tries to taunt voters into buying his fish oil to prove their “real” conservative bona fides don’t mean we have to swallow it. If that makes me a liberal to these shysters so-be-it.
“Not a solid conservative plan”
Ya just GOTTA love those “conservative plans”. You know, like the one where all of those tea party conservatives in the GOP-lead Congress stood up to Obama and stopped his agenda by passing a budget that eviscerated his illegal immigration policies, eliminated the energy-destroying EPA, eliminated the Marxist propaganda Education Department, eliminated the job-destroying Labor Department, eliminated the racist Civil Rights Commission, defunded the FCC until they give back control of the Internet to private industry, defunded Obamacare, defunded enforcement of 99% of Obama’s regulations and Executive Orders.
“South Carolina is peculiar, this event is in the Upstate, which is in some ways another planet from the Low Country. Upstate is more friendly to rabble-rousing and upsetting the apple cart, Low Country is political establishment all the way.”
Not even close. Low Country is STILL General Francis Marion/Swamp Fox territory FILLED, and I do mean FILLED, with shell-backed, die-hard conservatives. Sure, Charleston has their share of wealthy, old-school lawyers and such, but they ain’t all that many votes, and big money campaign expenditures haven’t moved the needle one iota on the GOP Presidential primary gauge.
“Trump can win this election tonight by looking at Cruz and saying, “And when I am elected, providing the Republican Senate stalls Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominees, I will appoint my opponent Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court.””
Yep, that would end the race right there on the spot.
“Let the family grieve, let the body be put in the ground and the eulogies given. There is plenty of time for blocking Obama.”
Right. All the TV pundits are this very moment talking about the fact that this has now become the biggest issue of the campaign and the first question of tonight’s debate.
“Bruce Jenner”
I thought Bruce Jenner was a republican?
I am still on the ridge waiting
