What do you think it is?
As long as he doesn’t get angry with the person he is arguing with is ok. Getting angry, losing temper - bad.
The problem with GOP leaders up to now, is that they give up their position before even getting to the negotiating table. Cruz stands strong on his principles, so when he starts negotiating, he wouldn’t already have sold his soul just to get to say that “he works well with the other side”. Also, if the other side starts with an extremist position, Cruz is the only one that has the guts to call them out on it. It’s not like the media will EVER do that. In fact, they are much more likely to paint the GOP position as extremist no matter where it is in the political spectum, so what’s the point of starting out on the left?
He also uses the more contentious word “argue” when it should say “debate”.
I know they mean essentially the same, but the left has so corrupted the language that “argue” has mean connotations.
“Yeah, arguing is a problem when intelligent Republicans do it. “
The Bushes, McConnell, Boehner - none of them are willing to fight. And they can go to hell, they are enablers. It is time to fight.
Liberals are often masters at debate! ;-P
"We are seeing a great awakening.
A national movement of We the People, brought together by what unites us -
a shared love of liberty, and an understanding of
the unlimited potential of free men and free women."Ted Cruz

I've never met the man, but I seriously doubt that that's the case. I think it's probably more that he has a core set of things he believes in or wants to talk about, and he's not going to stop trying until you either agree with him or convince him he's beating a dead horse in your case. It's called tenacity, and not really a bad thing in my book. It IS extremely rare in Republicans, who couldn't engage in politics if the white flag factory burnt down, which may explain the author's confusion.
The kind of Republicans who supported Mitt Romney and John McCain in the past will never embrace Cruz, of course.
I think Cruz can afford to lose all 5 of those votes if it comes to that. I mean, shoot, one of them is McPain himself, and by 2016, he may be too decrepit to pull the lever no matter who the nominee is.
Hillary would certainly approve of your thinking.
No, because Ted would read beyond the headline before he commented.
You are right. He’d tear our asses up.
There's so much nonsense, and I'm a little pressed for time right now. I'll just say that your analysis here is awfully self-serving, and in my experience that generally means it's wrong.
It appears you were wrong about the Texas Senate primary. Why not stop dancing around the issue and admit it? Why all this convoluted conjecture about Ted Cruz?
There's something to be said for being willing to be wrong. It's much more praiseworthy if one is able to recognize it (even in hindsight) and own up to it.
But Stewie, you are doubling down on stupid. Later when that becomes apparent to most others you would do well to find a job more suited to your talents.
Unfortunately, the world has changed and you establishment types always seem to be the last to know.
A man who can make a good argument is a man who can articulate and a man with a plan.
Indeed, you do find a lot of master debaters on the liberal team..... ;)
Good Lord, that man is magnificent.
The old unnamed sources to give the pundiot his opinion. As if he would ever consider voting for a non-communist.
Pray America is waking
Replace the word “argument” with “debate” and I think it makes more sense. He wasn’t fighting, he was debating.
Sorry Stu be do be doo ( Rothchilds, Bilderberg group ) Rothenberg ... But Rand Paul IS the snake and snake oil salesman in this race that can’t be trusted..
He could be a Saint Rand Paul supporter cult..
This is the same propaganda mubo jumbo that some Rand Paul supporters are spewing here on FR in regards that he is unappealing.
This is the Rand Paul propaganda..
