He is the only reason I am voting in the Texas Primary since Texan’s opinions don’t matter on who we nominate to face off with the one come November.
Dewhurst is really just a reflagged Tory Democrat. Of course, so is Rick Perry, but he doesn’t have a private fortune to use to buy him an office.
Kay Bailey is a liberal Republican, like GHW Bush. which means that Dewhurst is to the right of Hutchison and to the left of Perry and Judge Cornyn. Cruz is a Conservative. Leppert is a Romney-type flip-flopper. Then there is whazisname, the Jock who ruined the Texas Tech football program. No thanks.
I appreciate the post from NR. Thanks.
Thanfully, DeMint and Rand Paul got this one right and are saying so.
Dewhurst is not a cup of TEA by such a long shot. Cruz may be if he is all his record says he is. It’s stellar.
I hear the negative ads are rampant in Houston against him and causing some confusion, so it’s good that National Review cuts to the chase of those false ads, so simply, and puts them to bed nicely.
Dewhurst is framing Cruz. It was Cruz’s colleagues who were known to give to democrats running. Cruz did not.
Typical shell game. “Look over here.” “No, look over here.”
“Now, look over there.”
We’re with you Cruz
Thank you! I just had a friend asking me yesterday about it and I couldn’t give her a good answer! Will pass this along.
David Dewhurst is a genuinely nice guy, and Texas could do worse in electing a Senator. But.. He is more like the fellow on the school board looking for consensus and trims around the edges of a project, so that he can later boast that he reduced the cost of the new football stadium from $60 to $40 million. A true conservative would attack the premise that the school district really needed another football stadium with only 4 high schools even if all of the drill teams could not perform on those Friday nights.
Cruz has the is a “high-motor” constitutional scholar with the gift to articulate an unapologetic vision of constitutional individual liberty and the responsibility that such freedom brings.
That said, Dewhurst would be ok.
National Review has been giving Cruz positive coverage for a while now; not really shocking to see them endorse him. However, that endorsement, like just about every endorsement made in this campaign regardless of whom endorsed whom, means little to the outcome on May 29th.
Bump.
