RNC to trot out new guard

Aug. 28, 2012

Tuesday's main theme, “We Built That” — a reminder of Obama’s gaffe during a Virginia speech — will bring keynote speaker Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Ohio Gov. John Kasich to the podium. Earlier, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell will focus on entrepreneurship.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who could energize Hispanic voters, will introduce Romney.

Lesser-known speakers during the week include Rafael “Ted” Cruz, a U.S. Senate candidate from Texas, and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who with Cruz represents a new generation of conservatives with Tea Party credentials.

Among the convention's best-known speakers are Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the party's nominee in 2008, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and former presidential candidate and Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

With Rubio, Christie, Martinez, McDonnell and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on the speakers’ list, it reads like a Who's Who of rising Republicans — a changing of the guard, said Jeff Brauer, a political science professor at Keystone College.

Ted Cruz Motive – The Theory of Everything (currently political)
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/03/20/ted-cruz-motive-the-theory-of-everything-currently-political/

Here’s a little inside baseball from someone who actually knows the truth: the GOPe dislikes Cruz NOT because he’s an outsider, but because he’s an INSIDER who decided the best way to advance himself was to bite the hand that fed him. Let’s just say I am very close to someone in the GOPe machine and I’ll leave it at that.

When Ted worked for Bush, he was angling for a bigger position than he got. He actually wanted to be the Attorney General.

It explains how Cruz went around the GOPe to beat the GOPe candidate in Texas to become senator. Then as a POTUS candidate, he is the splitter. He and several other candidates such as Carly were never in it to win it - they are splitters.
