5 Reactions to the Announcement that Ted Cruz will Campaign for the Republican Presidential Nomination

Honestly, I'm sick and tired of the establishment (both the Democrat-Media Complex and the old, bloated, sputtering GOP crony capitalists) telling us who our candidates should be. I support Ted Cruz for President.

Steve Deace:
Traditionally if you want to win the GOP nomination you have to be one of the three tickets punched out of Iowa, and there is no doubt Ted Cruz is a serious threat to be one of those three. He has the broadest appeal of all the conservative candidates, appealing to Iowa's evangelicals, tea partiers, and liberty faction without changing anything about who he is. He's arguably the best soldier the conservative cause has had in recent memory. If he can evolve from soldier to general, and cast the bold vision required of a president, he will be a very formidable candidate.

Tea Party Nation:
The consultant playbook says that a Presidential candidate must hint around for months. That candidate must at first deny that but be “persuaded.” There must be the obligatory leaks about the candidate’s family and friends trying to talk them into the run. This playbook also says avoid controversial issues, run a tofu campaign, devoid of content and don’t go after areas that are Democrat strongholds. Just spend millions on consultants and let them waste millions on advertising that doesn’t work and computer programs that fail. Oh and don’t complain when the consultants make millions off the campaign and the candidate loses.

Ted Cruz represents the only hope the Republican Party has.

Ted Cruz is right on almost all of the issues. But Cruz by coming right out and announcing he is running is setting the tone. He is willing to throw out the consultant playbook... Ted Cruz is a great candidate who will be a great President. I have endorsed Ted Cruz as has Tea Party Nation.

This is going to be a great election cycle. Conservatives are always looking for the next Ronald Reagan.

We’ve found him. His name is Ted Cruz.

Gov. Gerry (Moonbeam) Brown of Mexifornia:

Over 90% of the scientists that deal with climate are absolutely convinced that the human activity, the industrial activity, the generation of CO2, methane, oxides of nitrogen, all the rest of those greenhouse gases are building up in the atmosphere, they’re heat-trapping and they’re causing not just warmth [and] drought in California, but severe storms and cold in the East Coast. So it’s climate disruption of many different kinds. And that man [Cruz] betokens such a level of ignorance and a direct falsification of the existing scientific data. It’s shocking, and I think that man has rendered himself absolutely unfit to be running for office.

Ben Ray, spokesman for the Democratic opposition research organization:
Ted Cruz has been running the Republican Party for years, driving extreme policies that put Tea Party politics ahead of middle class families... [his] run for President will do exactly what he’s done in the Senate: bring out the Tea Partier in every last Republican candidate.

NewsMax:
Cruz's advisors say he will aim to raise between $40 million and $50 million for his campaign, and will rely on support from his conservative and libertarian tea party base that voted him in as senator in 2012.

Cruz, 44, has considerable appeal among the Republican Party's base of conservative voters.

Following his election to the Senate in 2012, the former Texas solicitor general quickly established himself as an uncompromising conservative willing to take on Democrats and Republicans alike. Criticized by members of his own party at times, he won praise from tea party activists for leading the GOP's push to shut the federal government during an unsuccessful bid to block money for President Barack Obama's health care law.

One of the nation's top college debaters while a student at Princeton University, Cruz continues to be a leading voice for the law's repeal. He also promises to abolish the Internal Revenue Service, scrap the Education Department and curtail federal regulators, likening them to locusts.

Oh, and any of you Cruz Birthers out there can go pound sand.

    What the FARK???

    You folks (or I really should say sheeple) are as bad as obozo's worshipers!!!

    Just like obozo cruz IS NOT ELIGIBLE to be president of the Constitutional Republic of the United States.

    Heck we don't even know if obozo is an American citizen moreless where he was born (he either shows us forged documents or blocks their distribution). Shiat...neither of the main hospitals on Oahu admit to him being born there.

    With cruz we know his father was a Cuban national and mother an American citizen...but he was BORN IN CANADA!!!

    What don't you get that the constitution specifically states a person must be a natural born citizen to be POTUS or VPOTUS. (Check out Article II.)

    Wake up sheeple...there was a man in the 1930's who ran for the head of the Chancellery of Germany and he was not a German citizen...

    We have already gone down the path over the last 8 years with this one...do you really think the American citizens and our country can survive another 4 to 8 years of an ineligible/non-natural born citizen/foreign national at the head of our country???

    WAKE UP SHEEPLE I mean people!!!

    Been a Republican my entire life. Voted for every GOP candidate since Dewey,and was proud to do so,win or lose. Ted Cruz is the biggest threat to the survival of the GOP,since the John Birch Society,Cruz and people like him don't give a damn about the Party.
    His silliness has insulted the legacy of Lincoln,Robert Taft,Ike,Kemp,and yes,Regan.
    And to the person who is hopping with joy over the results of 2014,Slow down chum,a collective 50.65% majority of a 35% turnout is hardly a victory or a mandate.
    It is Cruz and the Tea Party that are the real RINOS here,and they will destroy us.
    I beg all REAL Republicans to take the Party back from the nut jobs.
