Lost in all the back and forth of the Republican presidential primary is a profound question for the conservative movement: “Whither Ted Cruz?” Let us not overlook a conservative powerhouse, with a proven track record of organizing actual voters across a wide swath of states, expertise at small-dollar fundraising, and the discipline to endure months of heckling by Donald Troll and his oafish minions.
Is no one else excited to see the next chapter for Cruz? If he so chooses, Cruz can be the conservative leader he was so often attacked for not being over the last few years. Now that he is no longer required to hedge his every position, craft every utterance for maximum flexibility, and throw inconvenient political groups under the bus, Cruz can focus on actually legislating and moving the American political center rightward.
As I argued last year (in an unheeded essay urging he stay put in the Senate):
Well, then we disagree.
About your limited vocabulary? Yes.
Abusive Cruz people same as they always were.
Then the same to you.
She had been living in Canada for a while, when he was born and before that, in London. She NEVER registered him at the American Consulate.
The fact is, it is YOU don't know America's laws, much about Teddy and his family, and since it is now up to the citizens of Texas, as to whether or not he gets re-elected, those who don't live there should just let it all go now.
SPOT ON !
Oh yes we can and since you live in Ohio, you have no say in the matter.
“She moved to Great Britian in the mid-60s and received British citizenship. Then she moved to Canada prior to Ted’s birth and received Canadian citizenship. Canada did not allow dual-citizenship at the time.”
Do we know if she is now an American citizen? Because if she’s become one more recently, then everything you say is absolutely true. If she cannot point to unbroken American citizen ship from her birth in CT, sCruze is ineligible.
Actually that’s not true as this is my first. I just don’t care anymore.
“That’s my hope. If the majority on FR doesn’t like Cruz so much they don’t even want him in the Senate, then I’m no longer interested in participating nor supporting FR.”
Nah, maybe we can replace him with a real conservative like Kelli Ayotte or Mark Kirk. Cruz, Lee, Paul, and some of these guys who scored in the 90s on conservative voter rankings are just poseurs. Time to throw them overboard and replace them. /sarc
The Federalist...it is anything but federalism.
Then you should go to one of the sewers your kind got exiled to.
All sorts of folks just like you so you can wallow in each others misery.
“He only had gotten this far in the presidential race BECAUSE of Trump. If Trump hadn’t existed, Cruz wouldn’t have gotten past NH because the GOPe and their donors would have ordered him out of the race.”
And we would be girding up for President Cilnton as “Little Yebbie” prepares to take a “swan dive” into the tank!
Hopefully there will be a conservative alternative to vote for. Maybe Trump will back someone to make Texas great again.
Back to Calgary, I hope, and I say that as a Texan who was 100% behind him since 2012.
Ted will never get another check, nor another vote from me.
No thanks.
She was born in DELAWARE !
How is that trolling? I’d think I’m typical of Constitutional Conservatives whom Cruz should be striving to win over again.
I think we Texans are capable of finding a real conservative (and an American) to replace Lyin' Ted in 2018, thank you very much.
Bye. Take the lyin' snake with you.
