Cruz gets "very good" rating on amnesty from NumbersUSA.  Does he deserve it??

Cruz is definitely the man we need as our leader.  He reminds me of the early Texans in his approach.  He is deliberate enough, doesn't need to jump up and down and sling stuff like Trump is doing to get his message across.  The way he went about this re-voting, at the request of his constituents is a good example of his being able to look at the whole picture and change his mind when he feels like it is the right way to go.  He went to the trouble of researching the bill and then on to his recommendations once he found out that Americans were getting the shaft.  He is turning out to be the great statesman i thought him to be at the first.

I see Cruz as similar to Reagan in that the GOP establishment hates him and the democrats discount him. A perfect place to be at this point. Not bashing Trump is a wise move. Many of Trump's supporters are conservatives who will need a place to go when Trump flames out.

Ted is doing the right thing, staying away from Trump and focusing on the issues, low profile until they get into the debate next week....I cant wait to see him in action!

Well, me too but I don't get CSPAN.  Wonder if it will be online?  I can hook it up to my TV if it is going to air online.

It will be on the Fox News channel.  I don't know about the Fox local channels.   I doubt that it is on C-SPAN... that is a channel devoted to Congress.

"If this deal is consummated, it will make the Obama administration the world's leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism," Cruz said during a round table Tuesday. "Billions of dollars under control of this administration will flow into the hands of jihadists who will use that money to murder Americans, to murder Israelis, to murder Europeans."

Good video, solar.   I enjoyed listening to all of the speakers.  They were unanimous in their anger over the Iran Deal!

At least Cruz has the nads to call a spade a spade.

What worries me is that Cruz's wife was the managing director at goldman sachs, he's a little too close to Wall Street for my taste...

So who would you feel is the better candidate?

Essentially, sins of the father.
His wife is not Ted, and she is not running for office. If we were to use this criteria for all candidates, there wouldn't be a qualified soul left to run.

From what I can see Cruz's wife is standing behind beside him 100%.  NOT her old job.

Yep, I guess if you're looking for a reason to hate, you can always find something.

Interesting that even among people with a shared vision of what a Constitutional Republic should look like, when it comes to politics it is still easier to try to bring down opposing candidates than it is to support one's own.
