And both had fathers who were not citizens which should not matter but it will.

None of it matters unless he can demonstrate the ability to raise the most money and recives a nod from the big donors.

17 months out anything can happen.

That's it in a nutshell.

But he's sharp and Charm School may help increase his likability.

Anything can happen in 17 months.

I could see Cruz battling Paul for 2nd, as outside of Jeb, the GOP field is weak.

So you are aware of his history working for President Bush Jr. and are okay with all that he was involved with?

You keep setting yourself up for this fall, so let me go ahead and knock you down.

President Obama has earned my vote on the basis of his excellent judicial appointments, his consensus-building foreign policy and the improvements he has brought about in the disastrous economy he inherited.


The case for President Obama

thinking Ted Cruz is smart isnt the same thing as saying you would ever vote for him, and this man, the one who wrote this......

Rights from Wrongs: A Secular Theory of the Origins of Rights: Alan M. Dershowitz: 9780465017140: Amazon.com: Books

would not vote for Ted Cruz.

The realization that Hilary is going to be very embarrassed, is coming over them faster than Speedy Gonzalez, on meth.
What are we "up against?"

A Canadian who should be ineligible to run under the same lame-ass excuses you tried to feed us about Obama?

A guy who has painted himself a religious panderer and conservative extremist willing to send the US into default to push an unwinnable point?

I can see how he appeals to the conservative Taliban, but that's about it.

Senator is Cruze is very serious candidate, because he does not dance around the issues . Cruz goes after the issues of the day, directly. . He is actually more experienced than BO. Cruz has went against his own party and is a US Constitutional Scholar.
Cruz offers the checks and balance this country needs to get back on course.

Obama is a failure on multiple layers and he has not been able to accomplish the goals he had laid out as Candidate Obama. We are 20 Trillion in debt and we do not have effective Immigration Policy. Only by shot gun method.

Cruz is direct and Dem's are scared!

Relying on a single party, and a single ideology, to push through health care reform is Obamacare's original sin and its most fatal flaw.

You have to get a system that everyone has ownership of.

I'm personally glad the repubs keep parading the freaks they do. At the rate they are going, we will never have another repub president in our lifetimes. They just cant seem to grasp that when the whole world is telling you, you are crazy and out-of-touch, you don't go crazier and more out-of-touch next time around. If Cruz goes up against Paul in a live debate, he will be chewed up and spit out. It will be an ugly sight.
