I do not know much about Ted Cruz, other than he is the junior Senator from Texas and a Republican. However, after reading 18+ pages of absolute hatred the liberal freaks are posting on this thread, the more I am beginning to like him.
Anyone that can foment that much hatred from those who utterly despise the US is someone I can support.
Cruz is nothing like Ron Paul. On that note neither is Rand. He is more politically savvy than his dad. Still, we can't deny that Ron Paul was right about a lot of issues - Federal Reserve and the blowback on military issues, to name a few.
What all three have in common is that their political points of view are outside the mainstream. This is a moderate country as much as you conservatives want to believe otherwise. I swear you listen to yourselves far too much and are way out of touch. It is OK to believe what you do, but it is just nuts to think that more than a relative handful agree with you. Cruz has no chance - none - of getting any further than he is right now. The same is true of Rand Paul. Cruz might have fooled people with a more measured approach, but after his antics on Obamacare he has a label on him that he will not shed. Cruz squandered all of his political capital on a fight he could not win. Not only is that not politically savvy, it is incredibly inept as well.
Saw some live snippets of Ted jawboning. Thought it was a hoot. Only thing missing was a straw hat, cane and some leggy hoofers doing an exit, stage left. Pure vaudevillian. Reminds me of the first warm up act at Minsky's.
Rep to you...LOL...
I know what else is missing...the throwing of rotten tomatoes.
Cruz's father is a pastor in some ministry set up by Benny Hinn's wife, he being the religious huckster worth over 40 million dollars, much of it gained from bilking little old ladies out of their pension checks.
“In a football game we all cheer for our respective teams. I cheer for the Houston Texans. It’s a good thing to cheer for your team…This isn’t a team sport. This is life and death. There is a fundamental divide between the government and the people.” - Senator Ted Cruz on Congress
Draw your own conclusion on Cruz's sermon, he is on a mission from God. He is determined as Hell to keep millions of Americans from accessing affordable health care.

Rand Paul just won a 2016 Straw poll and beat out Chris Christie.
