We really need the desirable qualities of Cruz and Trump combined in the same president. Cruz with a big hammer would be nice. I fear that Cruz, if elected, would not be able to make any headway. He is too much of a Constitutionalist to kick ass and take names with the dictatorial powers that are now inherent in the office courtesy of the giveaways of the Court and Congress. He will have a Congress solidly in opposition to anything he wants to do, no matter the nominal makeup of the Congress.

Sorry, the Ted Cruz I know has been kicking ass and taking names long before Trump decided to throw his hat in the ring.

And on the flip-side, with Trump, you get very little fidelity to the Constitution and the likelihood that he won't nominate strict Pro-Life SCOTUS judges and judges that WILL NOT fight against the Gay Marriage issue.

Furthermore, he will do nothing much where ObamaCare is concerned since he is completely in favor of universal healthcare.

Sorry, no sale.

you forget his potential veto power. Also I think he would be a much better negotiator than given credit given his working conditions since in the senate. He has the speak the mind like Trump but not much attention without the celebrity plus the media, dems and GOPe doing their best discrediting jobs.

Hmmmmmm........ One must ask what planet you have been on for the last week arthurus...... Cruz took to the Senate Floor, not once, but two times, this week and called out the lying scumbag Mitch McConnell and his chicken s**t supporters in the Senate. Being a Constitutionalist has NEVER stopped Ted Cruz from kicking ass and taking names. Ted Cruz is "a Donald Trump" with intelligence, finesse and class.

Cruz has shown ample amounts of dexterity with the Senate. To his credit, he was able to move the House to support a LOT of things BEFORE we won the Senate and McConnell got a hold on Boehner and told him to down vote every conservative amendment, etc. We have McConnell to thank for the deal-doing. We need to keep the rhetoric UP about his promises while he was campaigning, even the thing he told Cruz during his campaign that “we do not tell the truth to the people, we promise what they want to hear, but after the election we do what we want.” We were outraged by his betrayal, but apparently not enough to flood his office with complaints and his own words. We need to record, or whatever it was, every single promise he made and make him eat his words!
