Firstly, Ted Cruz’ narrative is NOT ‘demagoguery.’

His words echo the most fundamental tenets of the ideas, principles and values upon which this country was founded and affirmed in the US Constitution.

It makes no difference how or why they try to discredit and demean him. He has something all their lackeys, sycophants, crooks and ghouls couldn’t buy with an ocean full of money - ideological support of millions and millions of us out here in real America whose ideals CANNOT be bought with entitlements.

They shall see just how strong that support is in 2014 and in 2016.

"Demagoguery is a manipulative approach — often associated with dictators and sleazy politicians — that appeals to the worst nature of people. Demagoguery isn't based on reason, issues, and doing the right thing; it's based on stirring up fear and hatred to control people. For example, a politician who stirs up a fear of immigrants to distract from other issues is using demagoguery. Demagoguery is one of the most negative aspects of politics, but it's also one that's all too common.

This is the spitting image of Obama in action and words... but to try to place Cruz under the same umbrella is itself Demagoguery...

Amen!

The actual demagogues are Obama, his minions, & the pundits.
