Senator Cruz is the real deal. There's a 27 minute video interview at the source. Minutes 8-12 are particularly compelling.

All well and good but when is he going to set up an Exploratory Committee. Right now Jeb is gobbling up the dough and hogging the limelight as is Scott Walker.

Democrat strategist James Carville once called Ted Cruz the “most talented and fearless candidate he has seen in 30 years.”

This isn't the first time I've found myself agreeing with Carville.

Has he got religion or do I need to get myself checked out?

Is this the nice politically correct way of saying we've been betrayed? Did he just now figure this out?

“2016 will be an election like 1980,” he says.

No. It will be like 1860.

Not to worry. A Super Money Bomb will be there for him from ‘the people’. I guarantee it.

The limelight being provided by the Ministry of Propaganda (abcnbccbspbscnn) and the money being provided by the Cheap Labor Express. The GOP nominee WILL be pro-amnesty. If you won’t swallow Jeb, then Scott is Plan B.

Ted Cruz may be our only hope.
It will require conservatives to coaleasce early, something the Cheap Labor Express is spending alot to disrupt. Huckabee isn’t working cheap.

As well as Democrat leaders. In fact most politicians are divorced from the American people. Power, perks & prestige and being re-elected are #1 on the ‘leaders’ list.

In addition many Americans love the gifts that these corrupt politicians provide them with. Thus, they keep re-electing such people so the gifts keep coming.

Sad, destructive but true.

It’s interesting to see someone still using the term Republicans with respect to DC. “Republicans” should be regarded as synonymous with unicorns imo, so think RINO.

I agree with Cruz on this, however there is another perspective to consider.

A strong case can be made that our career politicians, especially since the 2008 election When the Democrats took full control and ran wild and unchecked, have so irreparably damaged the country that the only option available to them is to pursue polices, no matter how irrational or destructive , that kick the can down the road to delay the inevitable day of reckoning as long as possible regardless of how much worse they make that much delayed day of reckoning when it does finally arrive.

EvilCapitalist:" I’ll be donating my income tax refund directly to Ted."

When the party no longer represents what your values are, or represent your beliefs,
it's time to support the candidate of choice, not the political party.
Starve the NeadanderTROLLS (RINOs / GOPe)!
They understand , perhaps too late, the effect of controlled contributions, and ignoring the electorate.

Once again, Senator Cruz is right on point with his observation.

IMHO the pejorative term `RINO’ is as an anachronism and there’s no need any longer to use it.
We know what “Republican” means when applied to those in DC purporting to represent us.
It isn’t necessary any longer to say that they are Republicans, but in name only.

They are Republicans and they are divorced from the American people.

And just as John Edward Bush is so estranged from us that he feels entitled to the WH (as `George III’), the Republicans feel the Democrats have had their two terms, so now the pendulum has swung back and it is their turn to lead the Uniparty.

Cruz is the real meal deal. We were out with other conservative friends last night and the husband said Scott Walker is the guy for 2016 because he will fight the unions and he will do this and that but frankly I have not heard Scott Walker say what he will do. I’m going to have to hear a lot more from him to get on the bandwagon.

The three questions I would like to ask every prospective candidate for the GOP nomination are as follows:

1. If the FCC institutes Net Neutrality will you reverse it as soon as you take office?

2. What unnecessary/rogue agencies will you shutter after you take office.

3. Which if not all of Barack Obama’s illegal/unconstitutional executive orders will you reverse on your first day in office?

I’m not hearing much out of any of these guys so far.

I said I’ll be donating my income tax refund to Ted, not the RNC. I wouldn’t give the RNC a dime.

Indeed—It is remarkable how quickly the Whigs collapsed.
