"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton |

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 |

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams |

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams |

Don’t waste your money. NOT going to happen.
To: SoConPubbie
Too early.
AS soon as he gets in, they’re going to smear him. Where they can’t they’ll find out how they can.
Everyone, especially Karl Rove, whom Cruz does not care one whit about, won’t sit well with the narcissist #2, Mr. Rove, BO being #1
Too early.

I agree, it is a little early. However, they are going to hit him from every angle no matter when he gets in. I’d prefer he wait a while and let the other contenders gaffe, slip up, and collect some of the mud before he actually, officially enters the race.

Nominating Cruz is the easier task. Stopping the left and MSM (where majority of voters get their shallow information) from smearing Cruz is the much harder task. I am afraid it will be a Goldwater size loss.
Palin & Cruz will change the direction of country more than anyone else I can think of. Sadly both are vulnerable in the general.

It is very early. anyone who is in it now is playing games.
It’s three years out.
Not even are we over the midterms. After those, things will change quite a bit.
Lots of changes in leadership, regardless of who is in the majority and where.
Bohner is out, McConnell, Cantor and Rove, Ryan vs Conservatives

Better re-read Old Retired Army Guy's post. He's a GOP-E supporter and has never had a good thing to say about Senator Cruz.
I'm pretty sure you are supportive of a POTUS candidacy by Cruz, Old Retired Army Guy isn't.

"Sadly both are vulnerable in the general"
EVERY Republican is vulnerable in the General Election as all the cultural and media entities line up against them every time.
Should we let that be the measure of our candidates?
I think not.
Let's put up our best, whomever that may be (too early to pick) and let the chips fall where they may.

The spiritual trajectory of the public will have a lot to do whether Guy turns out to be correct or not.
But I do not see Cruz quitting until he is forced out. It would be wonderful if Cruz made it. A name like that would get a lot of Hispanic Catholic interest (it means Cross in Spanish).
Cruz/Palin? We could do worse.

I’ve jumped in vigorously when a bunch of folks were filthing Jeb Bush on the basis of one mistake. But that did not mean that we cannot find something better.
Primaries are so, so going to matter. To view them as not flexible would be a big mistake.

I’ll write him in either way.
It’s a foregone thing for me.
