Well, we know you can’t win the right by running center/left. Just ask McPain and WrongMe.
Screw the Obama Republicans,
The man with a plan is seeking:
Cruz Democrats!
Ah ha! There's a big part of the problem right there!
What do you mean by “running right”? They guy has always BEEN right.
“”millions of conservatives who showed up in ‘04 stayed home in ‘08, and stayed home in even bigger numbers in 2012.” (GOP strategist Karl Rove, notably, has disagreed with that analysis in the pages of the Wall Street Journal.) The second is that the bigger the ideological gap between Democrat and Republican and the bolder the GOP candidate the more likely the traditional Democratic-leaning voters will actually switch sides in 2016.”
Well for what it is worth, I fully agree with him!
Cruz is not seeking the votes of baby-killers. Once in office, he won’t have to worry about making them mad.
Democrats that go to the polling booth with an Obama T-shirt on.. (in certain districts)... for safety..
BUT................
Vote for Cruz..
Cruz gets it. Thank you for posting this.
You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
IMO the Reagan democrats of 1980 and 1984 are either dead, or they became Republicans.
Relying on “voters” from 2004, that didn’t vote in 2008 and didn’t vote in 2012, is placing a considerable bet, on unreliable “voters.”
Poll after poll indicate that Independents lean left on social issues, and lean right on economic and national security issues.
Cruz is right.
A Rand Paul supporter just told me on another thread that Ronald Reagan was palitible to the left, geez, Reagan was right of center.
A Rand Paul supporter was just telling me on another thread that Rand Paul would be more palitible to the general public than Ted Cruz and that Ronald Regan was palitible to the left.
I guess I’ll have to forgive his being a Senator. And that REALLY stinks.
But, Cruz 2016!
Your assumption relies on that spectrum theory which Cruz rejects. People vote emotionally. That means they can be pulled to to left or to the right depending of what grabs them at the moment. Relatively few people are ideologues. Much depends on the situation at the time of an election. Dole, McCain, and Romney had this in common: they refused to invest themselves emotionally and take the fight to their opponent. Obama presents himself as a reasonable person and gets away with it. We all saw that first debate where Romney unmasked Obama.
Hard to compare. I have seen them side by side, and I noticed that Cruz likes to put in the needle and this make Paul a bit uncomfortable.
I agree with you. Rove is not of the likes of Cruz; instead Rove is of the likes of the Bushes with their Saudi friends who I wouldn’t/couldn’t trust to be a true friend/compatriot of the US. In WWII whose/which side were the Saudis on.
