Ted Cruz Thread

[carlb]

This is why I don't think any of the rinos will break thru this time. People do seem to be waking up.

IF we get a president willing to fix the INVASION problem, refund PP, and fix healthcare the RIGHT way, the problems we have today could turn around overnight.

I'm finally feeling good about the last year of the Communist's term.  It will be bad for the DEMOCRATS -- And hopefully the Republican Establishment.

RINOS will always break through. From an infrastructure standpoint the establishment still has the advantage. But they no longer have the candidate. Jeb is their candidate and he is not going to be the nominee. Whether you like them or not Trump, Cruz, Fiorina and yes Rubio are outside the establishment. This is a good thing. The GOP establishment is shrinking rapidly.

Some good points about the establishment. They have lost control and that is good.

Also, this thread confirms the value of Trump. He was not afraid to broach the subject of anchor babies. Cruz is the first other candidate to recognize Trump's theme played well and he "came out" for lack of a better word. Will others follow?

Maybe Carson, but Walker will still be playing in the weeds trying to grasp the concept of illegal while attempting to avoid insulting anyone.

The GOP has gradually become a network of people, not ideas, policies, or principles. That, for example, explains why the Montana GOP, within recent years, was able, as it was,  to get away with excluding the legal US Senate nominee from addressing the state party convention, relegating him to a small reception room. His offense was beating an unpopular GOP nominee, the party favorite. That was Baucus versus Kelliher and none gave it a second thought. One small, but telling, example.

So, when we discuss control, we are not talking about issues of prevalent policies, but rather, individual names and the associated power of each. Pecking order power.The situation on the other side of the aisle is even worse.

Excellent point, red!

Just heard Glenn Beck say Cruz will be on his program tomorrow.

Beck says he thinks Cruz will be the guy. He's raised more than all except Bush and is waiting until closer to the election.

YEA!!!!!   

[keyboarder]

YEA!!!!!   

I've been waiting on more positive news about Cruz.  I was beginning to think of the GOP as schoolmates and Trump was their professor!   

[kroz]

Cruz is shrewd.  He will play his cards well!

Oh, I've had that feeling about Cruz from the start.  He's never backed up on anything he was talking about either.  He is a very well spoken person, knows his stuff and I don't think we'd get a more honorable person as our President.

I saw a report that said over half of Jebs money is old time Bush supporters!
I also heard on fox this morning that Jeb and Rubio's support in Florida is falling. Trump beats them both in the sunshine state! That is very bad news for them if they are losing ground in their home state!

Same has happened to Cruz in Texas....

What's happening in Texas? I can't believe Perry is killing him there! Is it Trump?

It is certainly not  Perry.  It is Trump!
