Ted Cruz is an expert at winning, and if he thinks he can win the presidency in 2016, who am I to disagree with him? LOL After eight years of President Obama, only a towering genius will be able to undo the damage.

For sure, Senator Cruz' intellectual candlepower is real, as opposed to the claims that are made for most liberal "geniuses".

But there is another credential that Senator Cruz brings to the table -- one that is especially needed at this stage in our history: strength of will.

Demolishing the leftist superstructure that extends throughout the federal governent and adjacent to it has become an absolute must. Much of the federal establishment needs to be dismantled. Then, the rot within the remainder has to be treated.

Just as Reagan's defeat of the Soviet Union was essentially a manifestation of his will, we need the same kind of will directed at a domestic enemy today.

Cruz is the first Republican candidate -- since Reagan -- who appears capable of exerting that kind of will.

Amen.
