The country needs fresh faces, not exhausted familial dynasties like the Clintons and the Bushes.
Unlike the Democrats, the GOP really does have a strong bench this electoral season, especially once you get past a hopeless Rinosaur like Jeb Bush, fringe candidates like Rand Paul and no-hoper retreads like Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, Wisconsin’s Scott Walker has already made an impressive splash; now Texas conservative firebrand Ted Cruz may be ready to throw his hat into the ring:
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is set to deliver a speech on Monday at Liberty University that is stirring speculation about a possible presidential announcement. Allies to the likely GOP 2016 hopeful are reaching out to political reporters and encouraging them to attend what they’re billing as a major address at the evangelical school about 150 miles from D.C.
The conservative college founded by the late Jerry Falwell has often played a major role in the Republican fight for the White House, with hopefuls frequently making stops to speak to the evangelical base of the party. If Cruz does launch a bid, as expected, those evangelical voters will be crucial to separating himself in a crowded likely GOP field.
The country needs fresh faces, not exhausted familial dynasties like the Clintons and the Bushes. So run, Ted, run.
OOh, I LIKE that one!

That’s my son’s Alma mater so I am very hopeful this will be where he announces his run for the WH. Looking forward to the speech.
I would gladly vote for Ted Cruz!
I will definitely be voting for Cruz.
Let’s hope for a 3rd party run and he takes about 5 Senators with him and a host of House members.
I would definitely vote for Cruz if he won the nomination.
LU is fifteen minutes from me. When school is in session, and I go to any of the stores at the base of Liberty Mountain, they’re always full of students. Those kids are some of the best.
[Those kids are some of the best.]
It’s those kind of kids that give me hope for the future.
I would definitely vote for Cruz if he won the nomination.
