Now I get it.
He's ugly. He's not American enough. His wife works for a guy who knows a Jew. The New York Times says he doesn't have a plan. He hasn't been a politician long enough. Liberals won't vote for him.
What was I thinking?
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

I said before , I like the guy and if he sticks to what he says, I am All in. But there is the sticking point. What politician sticks to anything anymore. Look a Boehner he is a shell of a man he once started out as. As soon as the get in office the big money deals start pulling to a point where they become self serving and forget the rest of us. I wonder how many in the Congress are invested in the health care industry now.

The only choice we have is between "politicians". The trick is to nominate the most Conservative "politician" who has a chance of being elected.
Ted Cruz is not the man.

The last conservative to get elected as POTUS had no chance.

The problem is many of us don't see enough conservative and we see too much politician. not to mention that it seems most of us have our own definition of what conservative is. I haven't really formed an opinion on Cruz - the are positives and negatives, but in the end - I have a growing belief that governments attempt to do anything just results in us getting screwed that much more.

Proof that 'conservatives' are our own worse enemy. White Yankees won't vote for him.

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. Also he is too conservative to make the cut.
I would figure him to be a real contender in the not too distant future.
Yet you voted for a community organizer

Sounds to me like he has a real desire to run the govt by the Constitution. The How and What Not will come later with a man with a right heart. I haven't heard anything bad about him. I haven't heard one report of him waffling and switching directions to suit voter opinion polls. He sounds like a christian, conservative, small govt Constitutionalist. He makes the communists nervous, as evidenced in this thread, he males the RINO's nervous, he's not an established career politician but yet he clearly understands the game. I don't understand what's not to like about the guy?? If you want to take the country back would you like a more experienced politician and WHY? Isn't career politician synonymous with "they're the problem"? Look how much bad our inexperienced Pres is able to accomplish. Based on that alone, don't you think a man bent on smaller govt and fiscal responsibility could have a significant impact on our lives for the better?
Again, as far as I can see, there's no reason to want for more at this time. Maybe that will change. I will say, I wish he was a little less comfortable with the role of political speaking. Maybe that's just his style of speaking, but he is definitely a politician to listen to him speak. But at least he has the convictions we hold most important.
As for the naysayers on this thread, they're clearly just plants, so disregard their opinion right out of the gate. They're here to spread discord and create doubt. Their opinions are not valid in any real way. I feel sorry for them that their lives are so shallow.

"He can't win" "He's not electable" "He can't beat Hillary" "He doesn't have enough experience"
From the left, straight into the wussified ears of squishy republicans. They'll pick our candidate again.
Cruz is unique........he doesn't give a f***

Talk is cheap in a Presidential Election , but i would vote him or any other person as long as he wasn't a Democrat
