My Open Letter to Senator Ted Cruz

Senator Cruz,
March 17, 2016

I have been a longtime admirer of yours. Being myself a native Texan, who now lives in Idaho with my wife (with our five kids and eleven grandkids), I have watched and applauded your career there in Texas, in the US Senate, and now while running for President.

We supported you heavily here in Idaho, sending people to your site and explaining away many of the false narrative attacks on you. In Idaho, we gave you a large victory in the Primaries, as you are well aware.

Now I want to do some straight talking and give you my best advice. As a patriotic American, as a brother in Christ, and as a supporter of yours., and as a supporter of yours.

It is not going to be what you want to hear...but I believe it is what you need to hear and what will be best for our country.

There are many members of the GOP Establishment who now, magically, when you are the last viable candidate outside of Donald Trump standing, who want to all of a sudden come to your campaign's aide and help you win.

They will offer you money, they will raise money for you, and they will endorse you.

I would not listen to or trust them as far as I could throw them. They will attempt to use you and then throw you to the crub the first chance they get.

These people would rather have a Hillary Clinton Presidency, with all of the disastrous consequences it would have on our country, and to the Supreme Court, than have either you or Donald Trump as president. They are wholly committed to their own power, as you are well aware. They cannot be emboldened or enabled any longer...in any way.

PLEASE, please, do not go one step down their primrose path.

Now here is the hard part. Like it or not, Donald Trump has clearly tapped into the anger and frustration that so many feel (including myself and almost everyone I know) with the GOP establishment.

He has been able to suck most the air out of this cycle’s campaign.

Despite his brash mannerisms, and his past, he has put forth plans that many people are accepting...and quite frankly, most of them are very similar to your own.

The key with Donald Trump is whether or not he will do them in the long run.

If nominated, we need to make sure he will continue to push them. If elected we need to make sure he will do them.

You, Senator Cruz can be the catalyst to making sure it happens. I know you want to win it this time...heck, I want you to win it this time. But to now push it in order to try and MAKE that happen will be disastrous. I can see this...and I hope you will open your heart to that possibility as well.

At this stage, Trump is either going to get the delegates he needs to win the nomination outright, or he is going to come within a hundred or so of doing so. The GOPe is hoping he can be held just short so that they then can themselves become closely involved in the outcome.

But the American people are voting overwhelmingly to not have them involved at all.

You are going to come in second with a substantial number of delegates. Given the dynamics of this GOP Primary, quite frankly it will be amazing and a minor miracle that your message will have gotten through all of the squelch to put you in this position.

I Urge you Senator, with all my heart, that as soon as it is clear that your total number of delegates and Trump's total number of delegates together make it clear that that the voters in this nation are overwhelmingly choosing non-establishment candidates for the GOP...make a deal with Trump.

Get your candidates pledged to him if he will make you the VP candidate on both on this elections presidential ticket, and on a second presidential ticket should he run for it.

If you do this...and Senator, only you CAN do this...you will accomplish all of the following.

  • You will unite the vast majority of GOP voters.
  • You will deal a mortal blow to the GOPe.
  • You will end all talk of a brokered convention.
  • You will establish a ticket that will win decisively in November.
  • You will set the stage for 16 years of true turnaround in the US.
If you can work with Trump to insure that these things that he has promised, and which are in line with your own desires, happens:
  1. Build the wall/fence.
  2. Fix immigration, dealing decisively with the millions of illegals.
  3. Overturn Obama Care and replace it with Market Centered, all-American solutions.
  4. Rip up the Iran deal.
  5. Redo the income tax towards the type of plan both Trump and you propose.
  6. Get Corporations to bring their work back home, here to the US, substantially lowering their taxes
  7. Rescind all of the illegal/unconstitutional Executive Orders
  8. Decisively defeat ISIS.
  9. Rebuild America's military,
  10. Negotiate and deal internationally from a position of strength.
If we do those things, we win. The American people win. And America will be well on its way to a fundamental turnaround that will dwarf Obama’s fundamental change...and that we desperately need.

Senator Cruz, you can make this happen. I wanted you to win this time...but I do not believe it is possible at this point.

But America can still win. And in the process you can be positioned to become our President later.

I believe this is the best course...I urge you, and I am praying to God in Heaven, that you will seriously consider this course of action.

Yours, as a patriotic American and brother in Christ,

Jeff Head

I’m also reminded of the Ben Hur line -”We keep you alive to serve this ship.”

Make no mistake, Cruz and his wife are part of the Bush New World Order otherwise known as GOPE.

Good idea. Ted needs to listen to some reason instead of trying to do his part to divide the conservative base. We need to unite again.

Absolutely agree, Jeff. But, electing someone who has displayed a remarkable amount of...um...flexibility in the past almost ensures that we will not get what we want.

This election is too important to risk it, IMHO.

"Not only a very strong senator now, but as VP would be the Head of the Senate."

Oh and how delicious would that be as he presides over the Senate. How many of the old farts would retire because they can't stand him, that alone would be worth the price of admission. IMHO he offers more to Donald than he realizes as VP. I say it again, he would be the metaphorical "consigliere" like in the "Godfather" in terms of being the go to guy for Constitutionality of any major moves/policy changes that President Trump might be considering. That alone would drive Schumer crazy as Trump/Cruz takes away his platform to B!tch, as it would pass muster before they did it....

tThat would be worth tipping the Popcorn guy at this movie...

I agree with your statement that the only thing that can be assured to make a brokered convention unattainable is for either Trump to secure the 1,237 delegates to do so, or for Trump and Cruz to join forces to prevent it and I said so several weeks ago when Mitt Romney first reared his ugly head.

I fear however there's too much bad blood between Trump and Cruz at this point. Both have huge ego's and both want to win badly.

Cruz gets to select ALL the upcoming Supreme Court vacancies during a Trump presidency.


oh hell no! More like Roberts???? Maybe a few like Beck?? Are you crazy?

I do hope the Donald has better sense than to buy into such an agreement. I would loose instant respect for him. Why? He made a big deal out of obama’s birther issues, and then pointed out ted’s birther issues. If Trump takes on ted, that makes Trump just one more lying hypocrite, and I’ve had more than enough of THAT kind of crap. There would be absolutely NO point in voting for him.

It would be just as good to vote absolutely anybody else.

I chose/voted Donald because he shines above the rest. The key is...ABOVE the rest. I’d hate to see him join the rest in the GOPe toilet.

Jeff,
This is by far the BEST letter or comment written on Free Republic ever! EVER!
A month ago I would not have agreed. But at this point, we must save ourselves from the GOP-e and this may well be God’s Plan through it all.

Thank you.
This letter needs to be forwarded to RUSH to be read online. You said it so concisely I think he would read it at this point.
God Bless you and God Bless our beloved Land.
Polly

Yes I would...and will.

In addition to letters to my own reps here in Idaho on specific issues, I have sent out the following three letters this year.

This one to Ted Cruz.

The following to Mitt Romney
http://www.jeffhead.com/Mitt-Letter.htm

and this one to Paul Ryan.
http://www.jeffhead.com/RyanResponse.htm

While I do not expect a reply, I do send them and post them nonetheless.

I will write one up for Mr. Trump as well along the same lines as this one to Cruz.

Thank you...those are very kind words.

I will send it to Rush and some of the others. Who knows, maybe they can bring it (or at least this sentiment) to the attention of Cruz.

As usual well thought out and expressed. Thanks Jeff. My belief is DJT would not have him as VP. Too much water under bridge. I also believe both Cruz n Kasich have been offered deals - probably the same one- to stay in n compromise Trump. Too bad. Both WERE HONEST Initially

Ted can still refuse those deals...or play rope-a-dope with the GOPe and then throw in with Trump.

I hope he does.

..Franklin Graham said he would not endorse anyone. His father made the mistake of getting too close to Nixon and you know how that turned out.

Truthfully, would you or any Trump supporter have any confidence in his word or leadership if he suddenly embraced someone whom he has repeatedly called a liar and a cheat?

Surrendering to a literal RINO will not unify the party.

I’m done voting for the lesser of two Democrats.

Donald Trump has given the GOP the terminal case of cancer that Buchannanites, Ron Paul and Libertarian types have been clamoring for 30 years.

The GOP is finished and we will not see a conservative president in my lifetime.

Well, I guess that means you won't be voting, right?

If so, please honor JR's wishes and drop the sour grapes cynicism - Some of Us have an election to win, and an evil witch to defeat!

Notice: Not supporting our leading pro-America candidate emerging from the convention when our nation is facing the grave risk of another America-hating, constitution-hating, capitalism-hating, God-hating Marxist/fascist/socialist/communist following Obama will be considered tantamount to treason. ~ JR

There have been some signs that both Trump and Cruz have already agreed to not let GOPe pull any shenanigans at the convention- FWIW.

Agreed, but it is all for not, as I think at this point Cruz would only serve to drag Trump into the mire with him...

Trump needs a special, untarnished person in the VP slot to round out the ticket!

I have no ideas, as Cruz was my prior choice, but I'm sure Trump & his team do ;-)
