I agree with most of Cruz's positions, but he's overly preachy and just seems slimy. Something is just off about him.

Yup. The left is telling us who they want to run against.

It's not a bad thing when someone actually believes what they say. That's an unusual attribute with politicians.

Oh, please. Ted Freaking CRUZ?????
Is this the same 'principled' conservative who had to apologize publicly, yet again, for a dishonest conduct (this time about an ad that Rubio supposedly dissed the bible)? I'll give it 5 minutes before his supporters start coming up with excuses for him.

But yes, vote for Cruz and it's cake walk to the WH for Hillary.

He is a Constitutionalist who believes in the ballot box making the decisions and not un-elected judges on the bench. For a Conservative candidate, he is the best pick for both sides.
If Cruz really was a Constitutionalist he would admit that he isn't eligible to be President of the US.

Yet Pol Pot, Mussolini and the guy with funny mustache and deformed testicles were VERY convinced of their belief . . . . It's not how much they believe, it's what they believe. And I have no doubt that conservatives believe he is on spot 100%, while the rest of the country say "seriously?"

Cruz is huge problem for the left. And the right, humanity in general. I cannot see how it is possible to look at a Cruz or Rubio and not just laugh out loud. Texas and Florida. Go figure.
