Ted Cruz KILLS IT with answer on Second Amendment, background checks, and public opinion
The Right Scoop ^ | 4-14-15

Posted on 04/14/2015 7:59:37 AM PDT by kingattax

Okay maybe I’m just a little excited here but I think this is a great clip that showcases Ted Cruz’s prowess on the issues, and in this case the Second Amendment, background checks and public opinion versus the Constitution. And he’s not afraid to say why the Second Amendment really exists, and it’s not to go hunting with your pals.

They don’t have a candidate who can come close to Cruz’s debate skills.

Walker will handle himself well, but Cruz is far and away superior to anyone out there. What I like about him is.. he's a very genial guy... not the boogeyman the "media" have painted. With each passing day, Ted is dismantling that narrative.

“Our country was founded on a radical proposition: Our rights don’t come from government, they come from God”.

Love that line. Constitutionality is every bit as much of a radical proposition as Marx. With the add’l bonuses that it actually makes sense, that it has been shown to work, and it tends not to slaughter tens of millions of people.

Well, I was leaning Cruz, but this definitely puts both feet in his camp. His answer was genuine and unscripted, and I like that.

Ha! She could use THAT thing proudly, with the full knowledge and understanding of anyone who sees it that she has absolutely earned it and unquestionably DESERVES it! :)

Are you kidding???

The media has already told everyone she is the smartest woman on the planet.

They um had uh everyone um believing that uh guy um that can uh barely string uh sentence um together um, was um the smartest um uh president uh that we've uh ever had.

The media will once again will fall into there usual meme, liberals are smart, conservatives are idiots. Democrats are caring and good, Republicans are mean and evil.

And the sheep will blindly follow.

Right-That’s THE most significant and categorically essential characteristic of a truly informed, honest and focused intellect... he is ‘unflappable’!

Oh my! I almost feel sorry for Liberal ‘interviewers’ when this thing gets started!!!! If THEY had any brains at all, they’d be doing THEIR homework RIGHT NOW!

They will publicly get beat up and have their lunch money taken away! :)

Cruz will be playing chess while everyone else will be playing checkers.

Reaganesque.

And the nerdy little liberal hiding off camera had that prissy snide I’ve-nailed-you-rightwinger tone in his reedy little voice as he asked the question he intended would end a candidacy. He didn’t even feel the knife as Ted Cruz deftly sliced him to ribbons. Verbally, of course.

CRUZ or Lose!

I think Cruz—well-known for his ability to “think on the run”—will make Hillary Clinton look old, tired and silly in the Presidential debate even if the moderators are stacked against him. After all, he needed that skill arguing cases in front of the toughest audience of all: the United States Supreme Court.

He has the discipline not to exhibit any satisfaction that he has sliced him to ribbons either. He treats the guy like he’s got an illness he doesn’t know he has.

The only thing that might give that away is if he ended his Q and A with, “Thank you, feel better.”

All I get is a gray camera with a line through it.

Can you send me a link to the pic?

(Or tell me what's wrong with my computer)

I have yet to have a FReeper write "I hate to be a killjoy" when that is not exactly what they meant to be. ;-)

But the MSM is not as enamored of Hillary Clinton as Barack Obama. They also LOVE her husband, but Hillary, not even close.

In short, Hillary could end up being sacrificed so the Democrats can finally get some much younger people to lead the Party--starting with Julian and Joaquin Castro of Texas.
