Substitute Cruz for Reagan and this column could've been written around 1979.

[fatnotlazy]

The long knives are out.

[skeeter]

This guy doesn't have a clue.

Apparently there are many who don't.

[Luke21]

This guy is called a “liberal’ on Google search. Do you know how far left somebody has to be to earn the term “liberal” among leftists?

[FatherofFive]

He won't win a national election. Not at the top of the ticket.

The GOPe and Rinos said the same thing about Reagan.

Ted is not good for business in either the good or bad senses of the term - whether that's people who simply want to govern or those most focused on delivering goods for constituents

"Delivering the goods" is not good for America.

Corrine Brown in Florida has billboards during her election - "Corrine delivers!"

[Eddie01]

“Most people, including most Republicans, find Ted Cruz grating, divisive and arrogant.”

Groupthink is strong with this one. Hmmmm?

[txhurl]

More like the little bread/butter knives are coming out.

[ifinnegan]

“Cruz has found small groups of admirers while convincing the vast majority of people as a consummate asshole.”

What?

This author should learn how to write coherently.

Illiteracy abounds.

[publius911]

Wow!
That White House (racist name!) basement is working overtime these days.
This must be the tenth time an almost identical article has been posted by almost certainly a Soros-funded web site.

Don't these morons know that overdoing even a good concept eventually invites ridicule?

The only other possibility is the stupid existing GOP leadership trying to cull the pool of conservative candidates.
But as stupid as they may be, that is too far out to take seriously.

[ConorMacNessa]

I think Ted has a long hard road ahead of him - the Lamestream Media will gouge him at every opportunity - just like they did with Reagan.

The Left in this country demolishes every good man or woman who speaks for the Right - Bork and Thomas come to mind immediately.

Ted has pushed himself out into the fray and I hope he can run the gauntlet through to victory.

God Bless you, Ted Cruz! God Bless America!

True.

I like the part where he says most people like Bammy, but Cruz is an asshole. LOL.

Cruz's biggest enemy is not the Dems in the blue states, it's the establishment GOP in the ostensibly red states. Liberal Pubbies will burn this country to the ground before they allow (what they perceive to be) another Reagan like conservative get the nomination and win the general. The people working the hardest now to derail Cruz are the GOPe. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that they are hunting for and funneling dirt on Cruz to the Dems behind the scenes.

[debrawiest]

Yes, but he can use a swear word. So that makes everything ok. /s

[gov_bean_ counter]

Yo Josh. Click your heals together and repeat....
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home...

[eeriegeno]

Cruz has drawn much venom from the lips of liberals from both the republican and democrat party! The establishment must be very very afraid of him?????

[School of Rational Thought]

After reading that, I am going to tedcruz.org and make a donation.

[ziravan]

We should start keeping track...taking names.

[A message]

Since Ted Cruz has announced his intention to run for president it is exceedingly clear those who are on the side of wrong are terrified.
