CRUZ or LOSE!

Sen. Ted Cruz became the first high-profile Republican to jump into the presidential race on Monday as he channeled John Lennon and asked voters again and again to “imagine” what America would be like if the Texas lawmaker were in the Oval Office.
But even some in Cruz’s own party said that was hard to picture.
“The Republican Party and the American people have to be able to find a more qualified candidate for President than Ted Cruz,” Rep. Pete King (R-Long Island), a moderate who is considering a White House run, said in a statement.
“Shutting down the federal government and reading Dr. Seuss on the Senate floor are the marks of a carnival barker not the leader of the free world,” he added. It was a reference to Cruz’s leading role in the 2013 fiscal fiasco, in which he quoted “Green Eggs and Ham.”
Donald Trump, who has pursued “birther” claims that President Obama wasn’t born in the U.S., said Cruz — who was born in Canada — faces the same issue.

Eagerly anticipating the Clinton/Democrats schism stories when she declares!
CRUZ or LOSE!
Imagine that.
So. Peter King is the entirety of the ‘some’ Republicans (read RINO) who can’t envision a President Cruz nowdays?
I think I’d lash back with a question to him about why is it that he is against those of Hispanic heritage in the RINO party?
What a stupid headline. Isn’t this true of every presidential candidate who’s ever run for the office?
Yes, the members of the GOPe in Texas and elsewhere who saw him as too effective and conservative. Dangerous to their way of politicking (actually following up on what he campaigned on).
more qualified candidate
That’s code for “a candidate that will tow the party line and follow business as usual.” In other words a RINO.
Since the presstitutes on the Left are unlikely to write them this time around, we'll have to dig up the articles and arguments they wrote against Hillary in 2008 when she posed a threat to the Golden Child's campaign. Back when Democrats were calling the Clintons 'racist'.
"How many is ‘some’?" is the critical question
Is ‘some’ enough to give Jeb the nomination?
That is a key question to ponder the next bunch of months.
Some Republicans would rather he wasn’t in the Senate. But there he is.
Peter King is a racist.
Breaking news!
Ted Cruz will not get 100% of the vote!
"Shutting down the government" is an idiot's mantra that belongs in the same category with "Hands Up - Don't Shoot", "War on Women" and "Voter Disenfranchisement".
Oopps, I almost forgot - "Hope and CHange" , too!
Agree. Every President has had someone who couldn’t imagine him in the White House.
Nothing new. Some hate honesty and decency and competence.
So would Pete King have preferred that he read cookbooks, as Sen. Huey Long (D-La.) used to do during his filibusters?
Why don’t they just call it the “Daily Democrat Talking Points” instead to better reflect reality, instead of “Daily News”?
Whenever I hear “some”, I know it’s the author’s way to slip in their position. It’s now automatic.
