Do you not think Reagan came across as likable?
Here Here!
I recall it as well..stayed up as late as I could watching. I also recall politicians wafting in and out (from their cocktail parties) like they owned the place thinking they were going to show this Cruz guy a thing or tow only getting their asses handed to them and walking off in disbelief.
This guy strikes fear because he has walked the walk. He’s no groomed idiot ergo obama. He’s a sharp razor and that disrupts the go along to get along crowd who have been partying it up hard for six years to the tune of 7 Trillion dollars of OUR debt.
Ted has the unmistakable mark of Authenticity . Even the lowlife’s sense that!
I will be UNDERSTANDING as they throw their foam rubber darts and stomp their widdo feet, and chuckle under my breath!
I don’t think most voters who Ted Cruz is. I don’t think he comes off as an asshole to anyone but beltway losers and leftists. The only question is if he can circumvent this false charge. Few on our side are able to defeat the pop culture attacks.
I find Ted to be intelligent, unifying and articulate.
The author of this screed is just another nobody liberal buffoon.
Yeh you have to be a real Ahole to stand up and defend the Constitution and the Free Enterprise system. :-)
Of course, but perhaps we are misunderstanding each other. I thought you were saying Cruz was unlikable, not like Reagan.
The misunderstanding could be mine, not getting your original post.
Reagan inspired both of my now-adult sons to serve, one Air Force, one Army, and he inspired them. I am so happy that he was their president when they came of age, and it made all the difference in their adult lives.
I feel sorry for those late teens and young adults now. They are coming of age in a society engulfed in corruption, immorality, and graft.
There are no leaders in either the executive, legislative, or judicial branches of government to inspire them to hold themselves to a high standard.
Only a scattered and marginalized group of parents are left to hold back the flood of social sewage that threatens to wash us all away.
I pray that there are enough of us to keep the idea of honesty, morality, integrity, and social responsibility alive, once this tsunami of decomposition passes.
Unfortunately, we must face the possibility of a breakdown of everything we take for granted, for we are living through a reprise of Matthew Arnold’s poem, Dover Beach.

I can’t wait to see Cruz in the primary debates. All he has to do is lean on the Constitution and convey its message of individual freedom.
If memory serves, Cruz has been before the Supreme Court 40 times and clerked for Justice Rhenquist. His resume is very impressive.
BTW..nice tag line.
Been waiting for this day a loooooong time.
I’d vote for Cruz in a heartbeat. I think he’s a legit contender among a few others. But he just doesn’t have Reagan’s charm. To be fair, none of the candidates do. Actually not one current politician I can think of.
Maybe Sarah Palin, in a different way.
I’m sure Ted Cruz will shine in the debates.
I sure hope, more than ever, that we stop using that castrated bland phrase, Private enterprise.
It conjures up sinister images of cigar-smoking opportunists who successfully exploit the helpless, the clueless, the losers of life's lottery.
Whoever invented that new label was a genius. Right up there with Saul Alynsky, and it has had the desired effect for many more decades than it deserved.
But now, there seems to be a resurgence of common sense. The antipode of that old shopworn trite phrase, easily ignored and forgotten as the BS that it is.
That better name, that real description of the foundation of our republic is actually two phrases :
Private Enterprise, and Free Exchange
Read it and weep because once you realize what Obama, Jarrett, Soros, Pelosi and Soros have in common is the determination to kill those two concepts.
Everything useful that Obama has been systematically destroying for over six years:
Private Enterprise - the ability to make contracts and agreements, the ability to solicit or offer services without the interference of corrupt governments with the power to tax and to destroy. and
Free exchange - The power of total freedom of association willing entered into or freely rejected.
The very foundation of the dynamism that created the country that Omugabe is determined to destroy.
The way things are now if Cruz looks like he might actually win I would expect a massive smear campaign or outright assassination or accident to befall him. The establishment is simply not going to suffer a major setback at this point in time. I’m not convinced Zero will even be leaving so...interesting times ahead for sure.
Most people who write stuff like this: "Cruz has found small groups of admirers while convincing the vast majority of people as a consummate asshole," are the kettle calling the pot black. Nowhere does this pompous pinhead justify with even one example his assertions. He could have said that Senator Ted Cruz was born on a mother ship from the planet Gliese 876 d. No example, no photo and no witness named. So, this leads me to conclude that Josh Marshall has not heard a thing that Senator Ted Cruz has said, read a thing he has written or knows the front end from the back end of Cruz. He may have even thought "Ted Cruz" was a new innovation from the auto industry. This Mr Marshall is just spouting trash talk to gain admiration from his peers--something Lefties make it a practice in doing.
Heheh. almost feel like I should spend a little energy and develop one of those relationship graphs to help infer who's spreading the memes.
I did, signed up for $25/month indefinitely. He's got my attention. I will contribute the max if he gets the nomination. Only Palin was able to get me to make that commitment before, but she didn't run and the money is waiting for the right person to come along. RINOs need not apply.
The smell of the abject terror of the Left is in the air!
