Posted on October 30 201 Via CNN: Cruz, a tea party favorite who is considering a presidential bid, said his party needs to nominate a "strong conservative" to win back the White House in 2016. If not, Hillary Clinton will be president, he said in an interview on CNBC.
When asked if former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is too far to the left to fit the conservative bill, the junior senator from Texas said he is a "fan of Jeb Bush�s" but added that "we need to learn from history."
"We need to look to history and what works and what doesn�t and the one thing is clear is if Republicans run another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole, or a John McCain, or a Mitt Romney � and let me be clear, all three of those are good, honorable men. They�re decent men. They�re patriots," Cruz said. "But if we run another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole, or a John McCain, or Mitt Romney, we will end up with the same result, which is millions of people will stay home on Election Day."

The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

Cruz is spot on. Running a nice moderate jerkoff hasn't won an election in decades. The Republican party needs to wake up.
If the GOP could grow some balls and put up a REAL conservative they'd have the People behind them.
Or they could just start cheating ballots like the libtards do.
If 2nd amendment rights can be subject to licensing and fees, how was the poll tax unconstitutional?

I'd take a Canadian conservative over an American liberal in a heart beat.
But hell, this "Canadian" thing was destroyed when the Kenyan made it into the White House, and the only people who keep bringing it up are pea-brained trolls.

on Breitbart TV 30 Oct 2014 Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) argued �it will be incumbent� on the GOP to stop any executive amnesty by President Obama if the Republicans re-take the Senate on Thursday�s �Hannity� on the Fox News Channel.
When Cruz was asked if the GOP has the authority to block executive amnesty, Cruz declared they �absolutely� did. And �it will be incumbent if we have a majority for Republicans to lead, for us to step up and do something about it�I hope and believe that come January of next year, with a Republican majority in the House and the Senate, we will see strong, bold leadership.�
Cruz added,��I think we are on the verge of an historic Election Night next Tuesday. I think Republicans are going to re-take the US Senate. I He also slammed the media for ignoring comments made by Democratic candidate Vincent Sheheen against South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R), saying �The Democratic nominee for governor in South Carolina used a misogynist, sexist insult for your and my friend Nikki Haley�you can see this Democrat running for governor laughing about it with the crowd and then embracing it, embracing, you know, if this were a Republican, if this were Todd Aiken, it would lead the news on every channel across the country [yet] to have a Democrat use a nasty personal misogynist insult, and yet the mainstream yawns and ignores it.�

Figured you'd want another Kenyan. The first one's worked out so well.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

From the age of four, Ted Cruz was raised a Texan.
As a lawyer at the top of the pile, he well knows if he is a citizen eligible to run for President.

Damn guys...can't we just focus on the mid terms for a month, rather than 2 years out?
I love Cruz. There ain't no chance he's the 2016 nominee.

Hot damn....... I just e-mailed this thread to ol' Ted with a short explanation of why YOUR post should really cheer him up. Of course, if Jeb sees it, he'll call a press conference to announce that he will NOT be a candidate in 2016.

I love Cruz. There ain't no chance he's the 2016 nominee. Unlike some...Ted Cruz can focus of more than one thing at a time. And he damn well know this election is about the Obama agenda. You are the one doing the predictions 2 years out.

You'll soon find out what Jeb has done as far as his ground game and money are concerned...all under the radar, for the most part.
I'm amazed. I didn't think it possible.
Trust me when I tell you Cruz is discussing Jeb for a reason.
I love Cruz. Cruz isn't in the top 3.
In November 2016, I will vote for the GOP candidate the majority of this nation selects as it's candidate.
