Let’s Be Serious About Ted Cruz From The Start: He’s Too Extreme And Too Disliked To Win
This is going to be painful for you true believers but here we go.....
By HARRY ENTEN
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s newly minted presidential campaign is the media equivalent of a juicy rib-eye that robbers use to distract a guard dog during a heist. He’ll get a ton of media attention, and he’ll get to spread his message — which may be all that Cruz is after — but Cruz almost certainly has no shot of winning the nomination, according to every indicator that predicts success in presidential primaries.
That's liberalspeak for "he wants to return the country to the state it was in when it was clearly and by far the greatest in the world."

Following the constitution is too extreme?

A great speech from a great and intelligent speaker, however, as a young one term Senator he doesn't have the experience to handle the top job.
Great speech w/o a teleprompter! Given the choice, I'd take Cruz over the one term Senator that was elected in 2008 and 2012 to the Presidency.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Cruz is just pandering to the rich, he would be the worst thing that ever would happen to this country.... Yes liberty is such a bad thing what were we thinking...

I'm for Cruz. I doubt he or any Republican can win from here on forward, so I say let's nominate ideologically pure ones from now on.

I notice in this discussion that the democrats never really point out any Cruz policy they disagree with. They just call him a clown, or say he's "too extreme." Maybe they should just come out and say it. They don't like Cruz because he's Hispanic.(PC would be white hispanic) Typical racist democrats. This kind of crap never ends from them. If nothing else I hope Mr. Cruz can put a stop to these bigots when he gets to the whitehouse.

Libs mostly run on feelings, they don't like is practical attitude and they feel he is bad. Facts never enter the mind of a liberal.

I am not sure racism runs down one side or the other. I know folks on both sides of the line who are outspoken racists. I will agree there are many liberal racists.

I saw his interview with Megyn Kelly.
Not impressed. Never led anything.

I damn well believe in "FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION" that this damned Government has taken away from U.S. and left U.S. with Trillions of Dollars of DEBT, broken "No Go" once Great cities filled with Hostile "inhabitants" bent on killing U.S. and Our Culture in an "undeclared" War... AND "they" want to get paid by U.S. While "they" are commiting these Atrocities. So get your head out of your axxe, wake TFU and stop parroting this bullschat liberal "racist" krap nonsense.

What a joke, he saids he's going to repeal Obamacare , but now he's going to go on it, what a clown. Wow you really don't have a clue do you? Oh well you come from the state that elected a Liberal SNL member to represent you.

Define "ideologically pure". Bet your "pure" would be not my "pure". For me ideologically pure is following the Constitution. Of course, after so many years of abuse and disregard, following the Constitution is easier said than done. It will be a long term process for sure.

I only heard snippets of the speech.
I'm all for repealing Obamacare
but I hope there isn't a worse train wreck replacing it
instead of talking about repealing Obamacare, I'd rather he talk about what he is going to do to make health care affordable (maybe he did, I don't know) - and not some pie in the sky, deep down we all know it will never happen but we're going to vote for him because he's not Obama kind of answer.
We have enough candidates giving those answers and no shortage of people telling me I should vote for the guy because of it.
I want to vote for someone with solutions to problems, not just being the anti-Obama. Not saying that Cruz is, but repealing Obamacare is only half the solution - and potentially it could be worse than what we have now.
