Why I am Supporting Ted Cruz for President
The American Thinker ^ | March 4, 2016 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 03/04/2016 4:11:50 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

[snip]

"......At the rally [Sen. Ted Cruz] spoke for forty-five minutes without notes, let alone a teleprompter. His speech was a mix of time tested tropes and new riffs pulled from the headlines. He did not stutter, stammer, or search for a word. There was an ideological coherence to his presentation that I have not seen from a presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan.

Nor was this just all talk. In his three-plus years in the Senate, Cruz has deviated from his stated principles far less than any of his colleagues and has the stab wounds in his back to prove it. One can compromise, Cruz noted, on details like, say, the top marginal rate on taxes. What one cannot compromise on are core beliefs.

[SNIP]

After I posted a picture from the Cruz rally on Facebook, a liberal friend from New York responded, “Cruz? Really Jack? He would suffer a Goldwater style defeat.” No, the most principled Republican in thirty years would be running against the least principled Democrat in the history of the Republic.

This is a match-up I would enjoy. These are debates for which I would have friends over and make popcorn. This campaign season, finally, would be fun.

Cruz reminds me of Captain Smith of the Titanic.

Barrels along smugly thinking his ship is unsinkable.

Seems like quite a few of you trumpsters signed up around Aug of last year and you all seem to revel in juvenile personal attacks. Hmm...

Doesn’t matter if a post looks ‘juvenile’ to you, if it’s true, it’s true.

And it appears that indeed, a booger was consumed, LOL

Just google or youtube, twitter, etc “Ted ate a booger”. It went viral seconds after it happened last night in debate.

With all due respect, Cruz stutters all the time.

He also voted for TPA

He also passed out teddy bears & soccer balls to illegal aliens.

He also has loony Glenn Beck as his spokesman.

I can’t believe they managed to capture whatever-it-was in that much detail.

Well, whether a spit bubble or a booger, it kinda reminds me of a seldom revealed secret about the late George Jones and his hit “He Stopped Loving Her Today”.

If you have an old vinyl copy, you put it on the turntable and spin it backwards, and instead of the opening words “He said I’ll love you til I die”, you will hear George distinctly say “Eat a lot o’ sh*t”.

Which is what the next President, no matter who it is, is going to probably have to do.

I won’t vote for Cruz. He has proved to be an establishment Bushlike sellout drunk on ambition.

He is done with me and if he should win, which he will not.
I stay home.

And you CW, are a tool.

Tough to live that one down. It’s trending on Twitter. Cruz eats boogers.

Last night’s debate further confirms the unfortunate truth that Donald Trump is just common white trash with money.
Unfortunate that such a no class slob may win the GOP nomination.
Trump people are freaking nuts!

I’ve been on FR for over a decade and I honestly don’t remember vicious personal attacks like I see coming from Trump supporters.
