Once again, the firebrand senator is betting that his best shot to win is breaking the old rules.
Ted Cruzs decision to launch his presidential campaign on Monday breaks all the customs of a typical candidate announcement.
Presidential hopefuls tend to kick off the quest for the White House on home turf, after forming an exploratory committee and at the beginning of a new fundraising period, which allows them to maximize the amount of time they can spend raising money before filing their first report. In contrast, the Texas Senator will declare his intentions during a convocation speech at Liberty University in Virginia, forgoing an exploratory committee to formally jump into the race in the final weeks of the first quarter.
Cruzs move, which was first reported by the Houston Chronicle and confirmed by TIME, may be unconventional. But since arriving in the Senate in 2013, the firebrand Texan has bet that the new way to win in politics is to break the old rules....

Smell the fear. LOL
ooo oo Breaking Unwritten Rules.....as opposed to the democracksever growing habit of breaking as many established laws....as possible!!
These bozo’s want to pick our candidate - again. They’re confident that the GOPe will allow it but Cruz and Walker aren’t playing and that has them worried.
theyre standing up acting like authentic active independant ADULTS and taking their messages to US..without the approval of the gatekeepers in the stinking media?
OH NO!!
theyre scared half to death! one half to go!!!
By NOT playing this game by THEIR Rules?
Yeah that sounds about right.
So he’s telling the truth that he plans to run for President, rather than the ‘traditional’ method of lying about it for 6 or 8 months. How scandalous!
What’s next if this is allowed to continue? Telling the truth about actual issues?
Surprisingly good article from “Time”.
Exploratory committee??? What crape.
Great point. Dems do as they please and rule like potentates, while receiving no criticism for their lawbreaking. Meanwhile, Cruz will be criticized for any and everything he does.
hes REAL clear on the medias plans...and is already way ahead of their game.
I cant wait for the enraged whiners to try to bring em down!
He will rip the democrack party asunder?
Its about time!!
Ted Cruz on home Canadian turf.
Yea that will be a winner
Huh?
Ping

It's VERY interesting how all media reports about how WE choose our leaders have, as their central focus, pimping their product (campaign ads) and trying to make it seem as if how much money gets spent on THEM determines the winner.
Ask Majority Leader Cantor how that works.
Oh wait...
