In the land of the blind, the one-eyed is king. You may not like Sen. Cruz, may not trust him, may not support him, but he has consistently provided leadership from his new-guy chair where the GOP thrones have been — at best — incompetent.
Cruz and Rep. Lee Zeldin sent a letter to Secretary of State Kerry asking for details on the administration’s apparent intrusion into Israel’s internal politics:
“Has President Obama launched a political campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu and his representatives?” Sen. Cruz asked. “This administration’s relentless harassment of Israel is utterly incomprehensible. The Islamic Republic of Iran is pursuing the deadliest weapons on the planet, and there can be no doubt that their first target will be Israel, followed by the United States. This administration should be focusing its animosity on the very real enemies we face, not on our staunch allies.”
Cruz asks the following questions, among others:

The point is not to get meaningful, honest answers which clear things up. We’re not stupid. The point is to get the administration on the record. I am sick to death of the McClellan Republicans refusal to engage in opening skirmishes such as this on the specious rationale that it won’t win the war in a stroke.
So long as the GOP is led by men such as McConnell and Boehner (see recent unforced “errors”), it will get no support from me, and in fact opposition. Ted Cruz will likely always have my support.
There’s a lesson in there the establishment has decided not to learn. So be it.

Ted Cruz is my #1 choice.

” McClellan Republicans”
Nice one.
That would be a huge improvement. The lack of decent and red, white and blue GOP leadership has resulted in our nation following a path to destruction.
If you want Cruz to run for President, you’d better start planning an independent campaign now, because the GOP will nominate Hillary Clinton (with Jeb Bush as VP) before they nominate him.
What kind of name is `Ball Diamond Ball’?
Man,
Don’t ya know a Ted Cruz presidency would annoy libs about as much as this magic negro punk has non libs.
Go Ted.
Mine also. There’s the old saying that in the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king.
I contend the same for morals, patriotism and conservative ideals.
“What kind of name is `Ball Diamond Ball’?”
Haha. I thought the same thing, but hey, that’s what it said!
With Mitt out of the picture I believe Ted, Rand, Scott and Rick will be able to rip Jebbie a new one in the first debate and then we can hopefully have a primary season with real GOP candidates. Frankly I’d love to see Trump get in it for a couple of debates just to keep everybody honest.
I’d love to see Trump get in it, period.
Someone needs to stand up, against the huge section of Republicans and democrats, for sale to foreign business interests.
I’m not saying anything except, nobody is standing up for Americans.
NOBODY. Palin (may) but I’m not yet ready to declare her in the race. Everyone else is apparently for foreign manufacturing.
Everyone.
Don’t agree? Then tell me please...
Who is for American manufacturing?
CCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Go Ted Cruz!

I find the limited time and limited focus of the questions at these televised debates to be a severe handicap to the lefts unfavored candidate.
Staged to reinforce a preconception or to reveal a “gotcha!” moment or even worse - drone on and on to stupefy the viewers, the televised debates are just beauty contests when instead the debates should be a series of tests to show character.
The debate moderator, plays the part of the bridge guardian in the Monty Pyhton movie “The Holy Grail”, asking the “What is your Quest?” and “What is your favorite Color?” question. Guess who gets the tough question.
I saw a impressive tube vid of Ted Cruz having a long debate with a New York Post reporter at last year’s TribFest: One-on-One with Ted Cruz

Worth a look - near the end of the video, (57:30), Cruz deals with a gotcha question about Citizens United and he handles it with skill and conviction.
Yes, this man Cruz has MOJO!
