Cruz: If We Nominate Another Dole, McCain or Romney "Millions Of People Will Stay Home"

"We need to learn from history; we need to look to history, what works and what doesn't. One thing is clear: If Republicans run another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole or a John McCain or a Mitt Romney, let me be clear, all three of those are good honest men, decent men, they are patriots, but if we run another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole or a John McCain or a Mitt Romney, we will end up with the same result, which is millions of people will stay home on Election Day."

Scott Walker (WI) talks the conservative talk, walks the SAME walk. Democrats are ballistic over him. The deepest and most significant threat since Reagan.

I like Cruz and Jeff Sessions. Sessions has been around for ever. I think he would also appeal to the moderate Republicans, but he is a conservative. He’s been around long enough they can’t pretend he will destroy the country. I’d like to see a Sessions/Cruz ticket with Ben Carson in charge of dismantling ObamaCare.

If a Cruz/Sessions ticket would win, that would be fine too.

The ideal construct would be Cruz as President, Sessions as Senate Majority Leader.

They see eye-to-eye and Sessions is the man to get Cruz' conservative program implemented thru the Senate.

Our debates need to be internally moderated, even if it means broadcasting only on CSPAN. Anyone with a computer could watch.

Big bump for Cruz.

He is completely right on this, and this needs to be repeated loudly, over and over.

We got this “well at least they’re not democrats” every election, and every election we LOSE.

What we need, is someone who is saying and supporting what is actually right.

Cruz is correct.

Like Reagan said, the voters need to see bright, bold colors. Not pale pastels.

I believe, after BHO, the public craves positive leadership and more limited government. The GOP will not win being a Hillary or Elizabeth Warren lite

The last time the voters actually had hope was when McCain added Palin to the ticket. Everyone hoped that they would win and that McCain would have to step down a year in for health reasons and Palin would be President.
They need to nominate Palin for President and give the VP position to some mealy RINO like Romney.

The Massachusetts Supreme Court said Gay Marriage had to be done and Romney signed it into law. Wonder what his church thought about that?

Absolutely true. Republican voters have shown time and again that they will gladly shoot themselves in the foot rather than vote for someone who's not conservative enough.
