You and your friends who back Cruz should back Cruz. I think he is a fine man. He won’t be president, and the perceived insanity of his backers causes a lot of folks to look at him askance, but we need folks like him in government.

“Lenin was popular. Hitler was popular. Shoot, the Kardashians are popular.”


Washington was popular. Churchill was popular. Shoot, Reagan was popular.

See, I can play that game, too. When you have all of human history to pick and choose from, you can come up with any example to “prove” your point that you’d like.

Popularity is neither good nor bad in and of itself - but it IS an indication of whether someone can be elected. Once you’ve found someone you like, you then have to filter that person through the electability filter. If he/she doesn’t make it, then move on to the next on.

Cruz is a great guy - I even sent him money when he first declared - but this is not his year. He needs more people to know who he is through his accomplishments, he needs to be like Reagan and DEMONSTRATE that he’s not the monster that the other side paints him as being. His time will come, and I look forward to it - but it isn’t this year. This year we need a wrecking ball, someone who will destroy the edifice of the Leftist establishment that has controlled this country since 1933 when FDR was inaugurated. Trump is the ONLY one who can do it who can ALSO be elected.

WOW! Just WOW! Statements like these are really starting to make me wonder sometimes! You’re comparing Trump to those cast of characters? Really? I like Cruz and started this election cycle supporting him but have now changed my mind. Not because of “him” but because I am now convinced that it will take a special kind of General to fight in the upcoming election! You really need to think before posting....JMHO!
