They'd sign on to promote any candidate with money in their pocket.
They're doing auditions.
... advice from political consultants (strategists)[TokyoRove and minions] isn't worth a bucket of warm spit ...
Damn straight. Ted Cruz can't win a general election they tell us ... after shoving McCain and Romney down our throats because they could?!
EPIC FAIL. The gopE political consultants/strategists should all be politically unemployed permanently.
Cruz is popular because his message is straight down the line.
He isn’t seeking amnesty like Paul and Rubio, and he isn’t letting anyone back him off.
What I'm interested in is who stood with Cruz and Lee during Cruz's 21 hours. Rubio and RandPaul both did. If anything, Rand's not always 100% in agreement questions seemed to increase Cruz's intellectual spark.
This is what bright people do. They bring up ideas, discuss them, "try them on for size". What they don't do is draw conclusions meant to appease people who might put up roadblocks or have their own agendae.
People who want to match wits with Ted Cruz should realize that he is a brilliant tactician. It’s a God-given gift.
Re reading this article and it hits me how out of touch the Republican strategist have become over the last few elections. Most of the GOP consultants are cowardly whiners slithering around the halls of congress.
This is the group conservatives NEEDS to go after.
As to Paul and Rubio they need to spend a weekend fishing with some regular folks.
Republican critics of Cruz privately say the outspoken senator could never win a general election, especially against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a top mention for the Democratic ticket.”
So what?
Is this their tired argument for nominating Dole/McCain/Romney?
People who want to match wits with Ted Cruz should realize that he is a brilliant tactician. It’s a God-given gift.”
Even more than that, is his apparent complete fearlessness, his energy and his tenacity. Like nothing in my lifetime. There’s no one even close. Maybe Thatcher, but not really. Cruz is just unique.
Or as you correctly note, it is all God-given.
“Republican critics of Cruz privately say the outspoken senator could never win a general election, especially against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a top mention for the Democratic ticket.”
Reagan was viewed similarly in the mid 1970’s, and took the brunt of vicious attacks from the GOPe of that day.
Amen to that. RNC Chair Rancid Priebus should get his walking papers, as well.
=================================================
After the Romney debacle, Fox ditched Rove and Dick Morris for calling the election dead wrong. Rove somehow snuck back in---and is still a perennial on Fox talk shows.
Thankfully, Fox finally untethered Bill "The Smirker" Kristol---a McCrazy suckup----who bases all HIS predictions on his neocon pals' marching orders.
One thing is sure he doesn’t mind revealing his college scores——unlike a certain Kenyan we might mention.
Now Paul has to worry about the repercussions in battleground states that could determine the GOP’s presidential nominee in 2016.An aide to Paul denied any political motivations behind his constitutional amendment.
“The intent of the amendment is as succinct and concise as its text: hold government officials to the same standards as the American people,” said the staffer.
Where can we go to get $2B paid to our personal account?
The FEAR among RATS ad RINOS is palpable. Cruz isn’t even running yet—but the knives are out already. Ted Cruz scares these people CRAZY.
I would add that American recognize a man of principles and he saying what America needs to hear right now in a clear concise message.
Sen. Rand Paul has endorsed fellow Kentuckian - Senate Minority Leader and senior Sen. Mitch McConnell.
Sen. Ted Cruz, though asked several times, has not endorsed fellow Texan - Senate Republican Whip and senior Sen. John Cornyn.
This says something.
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
Memo to Ted Cruz: When everyone is sniping at you you are the front runner.
If I were Ted I would text zero one item per day that I intend to repeal or rollback, and talk about Constitutional Conventions.
I wouldn’t have Bob McAlister anywhere near me, nor a microphone. He is a big time loser! He doesn’t know a “conservative” when he sees one....and avoids any semblance of sensibility.
Senator Cruz is popular with “conservative activists” because he is like us, unlike, Ran Paul and Marco
Rubio.
AWESOME! My two biggest heroes currently serving! My congresscritter and Senator Ted! I gave what I could to King and I'll give what I can to Ted. Screw the rest!
