Inexorable. He is a once in a millennium political strategist. His plan for the Presidency was clearly years in the making, as is his plan to transform the GOP and the nation back into the Founder's vision.

The Grand Master.

....true, but there was no way to contemplate the game changer Trump has been. The next few months will be a very interesting history lesson we will all live.

Equally important but seldom reported is the zeal of Sen Cruz supporters. Many work for free and are already active in recruiting other Republicans to Sen Cruz’s cause. Also they will crawl through burning flames to vote and drag others to vote.

Money is important but it is not the only thing.

At the very least, the intelligence and planning as well as communication skills this guy has shown during this campaign should be enough to convince he would make a great president.

Cruz is just what this nation needs to wake up and become great again.

Ted is playing the long game. Remembering where he started (near the bottom) in this campaign, he’s been steadily gaining steam and support.

When Trump directs his guns at him, that’s when we’ll know Ted is in the zone.

Go get ‘em, Ted!

Good to see Cruz being recognized.

With the Paris carnage as a background only Cruz and Trump can say they are the candidates who oppose illegals crossing open borders.

As Cruz rises in the polls, I do not see a battle between he and Trump.

I suspect once Trump goes down, people like me will have Cruz to deal with.”

LOL.

I like that Cruz is surging....but Trump ain’t going down, especially not in New Hampshire which votes essentially in the lives of real people...basically tomorrow.

in any event, that gem of an insight was from a former NH state party chair. And no, Fergus, no one will have to deal with you b/c you are irrelevant.

It’s a Trump/Cruz push to the finish line, and hopefully, a Trump/Cruz ticket.

***************

Perhaps... in any event, it will certainly be an intriguing retrospective for you. For instance, where Trump indicts Iowans for their stupidity in supporting Cruz’s main Iowa roadblock, while leaving Cruz unscathed— then maybe, one may ultimately have to consider what was or was not initially in the realm of contemplation.

By all accounts Ted Cruz is a genius. He got a close to perfect score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), which is roughly estimated to be akin to about a 150 IQ.

During high school (age 13), Cruz participated in a Houston-based group called the Free Market Education Foundation where he learned about free-market economic philosophers such as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Frédéric Bastiat and Ludwig von Mises.

He graduated from Second Baptist High School in Houston as valedictorian.

While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society’s Debate Panel and won the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992 North American Debating Championship

Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1992.

Cruz’s senior thesis investigated the separation of powers; its title, ‘Clipping the Wings of Angels’, draws its inspiration from a passage attributed to US President James Madison.

While at Harvard Law, he was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review. Referring to Cruz’s time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, “Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant”. At Harvard Law, Cruz was a John M. Olin Fellow in Law and Economics.

Cruz graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1995 with a Juris Doctor degree.

If he loses the primary to someone like Trump, Trump could make his presidency by appointing Cruz to the Supreme Court, taking the place of one of the liberal justices, most likely Ginsburg. This would guarantee for at least a decade or two that the court was solidly conservative.

The presidency is a difficult thing, requiring a lot of balancing interests and resulting in very few slam dunk wins. However, Cruz on the Supreme Court could mean that no matter who the president nor how fickle the congress, conservatives would control an entire *branch* of the government.

"He's the longer-term threat,” said Fergus Cullen, the former chair of the New Hampshire GOP and a Republican who does not support Cruz.

Well, duh...Cruz is a conservative. A Red Hampshire fop like Cullen would never support a conservative.
