My Open Letter to Senator Ted Cruz

Senator Cruz,
March 17, 2016

I have been a longtime admirer of yours. Being myself a native Texan, who now lives in Idaho with my wife (with our five kids and eleven grandkids), I have watched and applauded your career there in Texas, in the US Senate, and now while running for President.

We supported you heavily here in Idaho, sending people to your site and explaining away many of the false narrative attacks on you. In Idaho, we gave you a large victory in the Primaries, as you are well aware.

Now I want to do some straight talking and give you my best advice. As a patriotic American, as a brother in Christ, and as a supporter of yours., and as a supporter of yours.

It is not going to be what you want to hear...but I believe it is what you need to hear and what will be best for our country.

There are many members of the GOP Establishment who now, magically, when you are the last viable candidate outside of Donald Trump standing, who want to all of a sudden come to your campaign's aide and help you win.

They will offer you money, they will raise money for you, and they will endorse you.

I would not listen to or trust them as far as I could throw them. They will attempt to use you and then throw you to the crub the first chance they get.

These people would rather have a Hillary Clinton Presidency, with all of the disastrous consequences it would have on our country, and to the Supreme Court, than have either you or Donald Trump as president. They are wholly committed to their own power, as you are well aware. They cannot be emboldened or enabled any longer...in any way.

PLEASE, please, do not go one step down their primrose path.

Now here is the hard part. Like it or not, Donald Trump has clearly tapped into the anger and frustration that so many feel (including myself and almost everyone I know) with the GOP establishment.

He has been able to suck most the air out of this cycle’s campaign.

Despite his brash mannerisms, and his past, he has put forth plans that many people are accepting...and quite frankly, most of them are very similar to your own.

The key with Donald Trump is whether or not he will do them in the long run.

If nominated, we need to make sure he will continue to push them. If elected we need to make sure he will do them.

You, Senator Cruz can be the catalyst to making sure it happens. I know you want to win it this time...heck, I want you to win it this time. But to now push it in order to try and MAKE that happen will be disastrous. I can see this...and I hope you will open your heart to that possibility as well.

At this stage, Trump is either going to get the delegates he needs to win the nomination outright, or he is going to come within a hundred or so of doing so. The GOPe is hoping he can be held just short so that they then can themselves become closely involved in the outcome.

But the American people are voting overwhelmingly to not have them involved at all.

You are going to come in second with a substantial number of delegates. Given the dynamics of this GOP Primary, quite frankly it will be amazing and a minor miracle that your message will have gotten through all of the squelch to put you in this position.

I Urge you Senator, with all my heart, that as soon as it is clear that your total number of delegates and Trump's total number of delegates together make it clear that that the voters in this nation are overwhelmingly choosing non-establishment candidates for the GOP...make a deal with Trump.

Get your candidates pledged to him if he will make you the VP candidate on both on this elections presidential ticket, and on a second presidential ticket should he run for it.

If you do this...and Senator, only you CAN do this...you will accomplish all of the following.

• You will unite the vast majority of GOP voters.
• You will deal a mortal blow to the GOPe.
• You will end all talk of a brokered convention.
• You will establish a ticket that will win decisively in November.
• You will set the stage for 16 years of true turnaround in the US.

If you can work with Trump to insure that these things that he has promised, and which are in line with your own desires, happens:

1. Build the wall/fence.
2. Fix immigration, dealing decisively with the millions of illegals.
3. Overturn Obama Care and replace it with Market Centered, all-American solutions.
4. Rip up the Iran deal.
5. Redo the income tax towards the type of plan both Trump and you propose.
6. Get Corporations to bring their work back home, here to the US, substantially lowering their taxes
7. Rescind all of the illegal/unconstitutional Executive Orders
8. Decisively defeat ISIS.
9. Rebuild America's military,
10. Negotiate and deal internationally from a position of strength.

If we do those things, we win. The American people win. And America will be well on its way to a fundamental turnaround that will dwarf Obama’s fundamental change...and that we desperately need.

Senator Cruz, you can make this happen. I wanted you to win this time...but I do not believe it is possible at this point.

But America can still win. And in the process you can be positioned to become our President later.

I believe this is the best course...I urge you, and I am praying to God in Heaven, that you will seriously consider this course of action.

Yours, as a patriotic American and brother in Christ,

Jeff Head
Idaho, USA

..you are a good man, Jeff. When I read your great letter, I thought of this line from Ben Hur:

Sheik Ilderim: Balthasar is a good man. But until all men are like him, we must keep our swords bright!

Judah Ben-Hur: And our intentions true!

“The key with Donald Trump is whether or not he will do them in the long run.

If nominated, we need to make sure he will continue to push them. If elected we need to make sure he will do them.”

How will we make sure he will do them? We elected the majority in Congress and they are doing, in many cases, the opposite of what we want them to do, or even what they should do.

How do we make that work?

[stockpirate]

Great read Jeff, thanks for sharing it here.

[Jeff Head]

Yes...keep our swords bright...keep our powder dry...and always remember Molon Labe.

To that point, here in Idaho our State Senate just passed Constitutional Carry, or what some call Permitless carry.

it will son pass in the House and then go to the Governor’s desk.

We already had Open Carry...but this now allows us to do conceal carry without a permit.

Of course. most of us already pointed to the fact that the second amendment is our permit.

It is a reflection of the times we live in that we even have to pass such a law.

But I am glad more and more states are doing so.

[Jeff Head]

We have t elect people who will keep their word and who will put the pressure on.

And then we all need to be very actively involved in reminding them of it every time there is a vote.

[almcbean]

I would prefer that he remain in the Senate rather than VP. He would be better positioned to keep Trump in check as a Senator than VP.

[FR_addict]

Cruz needs to unseal his records. Show us his CRBA & passport.

[stockpirate]

My fear is Ted is already moving to the dark side. When you consider after the Sea Island CONfad he hired Neil Bush as his campaign finance manager, Gramham and Beck have endorsed him

[JEDI4S]

THE JEDI COUNCIL APPROVES THIS MESSAGE.

Well done have you.

Jedi.

[newfreep]

Actually, Cruz has long been in the Bushie establishment camp with a long history of votes in line with Establishment.

Each day brings a new revelation of Cruz being an inside Establishmentarian...and many Cruz supporters are beginning to see the light.

Non eligible, not Natural Born Citizens, Cubans, Chihuahua Prespiration Marko and Pinocchio Desperation Ted attacking Big Donald at CNN freestyle match.

Cruz "character":
1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote for Cruz.
2. Claiming Carson quit, presinc captains told voters "vote for Cruz"
3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video "vote for me" with his preacher/father stomping for him. Rafael Cruz is a 7 Mountain Dominionist and believes his son is the anointed one.
4. "Brilliant" lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.
5. Making phony video advertising with lies about opponents.
6. Phony video about Rubio - Obama.
7. 7 Mountain Dominionist Church = Christian???
Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize, rinse and repeat?
Liar is the polite term for this Cuban. His father was pro-communist in Cuba, imprisoned by Batista, but now he is refugee?

IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN
(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a "natural born citizen" is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.
http://www.thepostemail.com/2009/10/18/4-supreme-court-cases-define-natural-born-citizen/
Applies to Cruz and Rubio, both at the time not born to US citizens and on US soil.

Let us know if you get a reply that is meaningful and not a standard canned spam email that everyone gets please. If you do if like that ping please.

Cruz needs to unseal his records. Show us his CRBA & passport.

Cruz cannot produce a CRBA to demonstrate he is eligible...and he knows he is not eligible.

[McCloud-Strife]

Surrendering to a literal RINO will not unify the party. I’m done voting for the lesser of two Democrats. Donald Trump has given the GOP the terminal case of cancer that Buchannanites, Ron Paul and Libertarian types have been clamoring for 30 years. The GOP is finished and we will not see a conservative president in my lifetime.

[WalterSkinner]

..those with Texas roots understand for sure. I guess I am saying that IMHO the chasm is too wide for Christian or Religious Right conservatives to bridge in order to make a Faustian deal with a completely secular pragmatist who has no history of representing the issues that we know God is VERY concerned with.

But I respect the efforts of great patriots as yourself, who are calling all to come reason together...

[McCloud-Strife]

Everything you THINK Trump is promising you is as real as Trumps hair. He will not deliver that, it’s a negotiating tactic and his supporters are the mark.

[wiseprince]

I think you’ll be very disappointed. Cruz wants power. At some point he will be mathematically unable to get to 1237 (at even now it’s quite unlikely). I suspect he won’t suspend his campaign at that point (as he is urging Kasich to do).

[faucetman]

You do not see the irony in your typo? Maybe even the hand of God?

Your post is not worth reading once you get to the suggestion that Cruz make a deal with Trump for a VP spot.

First of all, Trump doesn’t need Ted Cruz to win outright the GOP nomination. Trump is the ONLY candidate with a path to win the nomination. He Will do so and all this brokered convention talk is just that, talk.

Second (actually first), Ted Cruz IS NOT ELIGIBLE to the office of president or vice president. Donald Trump has made a YUGE issue of this. How in the world could he embrace the “natural born Cuban” as his running mate?

Your faux pas with the word “birther” is hilarious.

[pilgrim]

Morning Jeff,

Would you be open to also send one to Mr. Trump with similar suggestions toward working with Cruz?

Thanks.

The key with Donald Trump is whether or not he will do them in the long run

I agree that this is an issue, and it's a big one for supporters of other candidates (I've been all in with Trump since July).

But consider this: Trump is not an ideologue. There's nothing about his life, his persona, or his accomplishments that say he's got a driving passion to institute socialism, or feminism, or any other ism. He DOES have a big ego, and most Presidential contenders have an ego problem.

BUT.

He's 69 years old, he has everything a man could desire, and being President while the country is in such terrible condition will be, as those of us with New York values say, a sh*t sandwich. It's NOT a vanity no-show job.

So, the "Trump is a secret Hillary fan" people have to have a theory about why he would take this on.

And I can't, for the life of me, see what that would be.
