Ted Cruz has no intentions of ever being President

[bendog]

In Ted Cruz's announcement yesterday it became clear that he has no intentions of ever being President. Ted knows he is the smartest person in the room, so he knows that his rightwing platform has no hope of winning

Anyone seriously running knows they need to gain the moderate vote in order to win. At no point in yesterdays speech did Cruz conced there was a middle ground on any issue.

So, what is Cruz doing?

He is staking out that he, and he alone is the true Conservative in the party. Let Rand Paul or any other conservative try to build a winning coalition and Cruz will attack them for abandoning conservatism

Cruz wants to be crowned the King of Conservatives for the next 20 years. Let all Republican candidates bow before him as he dictates what positions they must take to gain conservative support

That is where Cruz's power will be



.

Your forgetting the primaries are not for appealing to the moderates and independents it's for appealing to the base. In 2008 Hillary believed she already had the base and started trying to get the moderates and independents in the primaries which allowed Obama to go farther to the left than her which the base liked and got him the nomination. The Republicans ran two unsuccessful campaigns with candidates they believed would appeal to the moderates but they did not appeal to the base and many stayed home. Can Cruz make that pivot to appeal to moderates and independents in the general election I don't know what we have seen is without the moderates and independents you might lose without your base you will lose.

But where are the numbers? Obama got 66 million last time, and the dems will get that again ... at least. Mitt actually took 24 states, to Obama 26 plus DC, yet Mitt lost by 126 EV. The only "big" state the gop has safely is Texas. The same demographic fact that makes it near impossible for the dems to take the House for the next decade makes it impossible to win a national election with just red states.

It may not matter because the natl gop is going to muzzle the right wing this time.

wrong, the entire country is moving to the right. They have seen what liberalism and socialism result in and they don't like like it.

Your dream of a liberal utopia has been destroyed by the half black guy.

But you voted him in twice, so its all on you. Thanks for moving the country back to sanity and constituional government.

I didn't vote for him, fish. But generally, once you piss off the blacks, the gays, the latinos and start in on women .... it doesn't work out well. And now we seem poised to take away 7 million working class peoples health insurance. I am beginning to see why Eastwood talks to chairs.

And, I think Jeb will beat Hillary.

Then why even bother with the fricken election, just put the crown on the old lying bitch and make her queen---------------you libs really piss me off with your arrogant bullshit.

if she runs get ready to be pissed off..

LMAO

NO, I hope you fools run her. She is a very flawed candidate, the RNC will have a field day with the thousands of clips of her saying stupid things, lying, doing fake black accents, and screeching like a scalded ass ape.

get your depends ready fishbrain

Cruz is very bright, but is a narcissist personality disorder type of individual. As a social defunct, he can be charming to you while getting ready to sacrifice you to his wants.

I would go step further and say sociopath. They're very common. They are narcissists on steroids.

Anyone running for President is narcissistic.

I agree with you. Most CEOs, high ranking military officers and politicians are narcissists. So are actors or anyone who seeks a platform where there is a lot of attention focused singularly on them.

he's a weird kind of sociopathic narcissist who craves attention.

For an ivy league educated man, he doesn't come off very bright - but he's often playing to the crowd.

While he may understand the X's and Os, Cruz is a moron when it comes to understanding interactions with other people

Nixon had the same problem

that "pissing off" was done by the media, not the GOP candidates. I will agree that Romney ran a bad campaign, but he would have been a very good president.

Right. Classic sociopath. They only understand human interaction one way, which is from the outside coming in. They lack any kind of empathy but are masters at showmanship and creating the illusion of caring about others. Cruz has been at this so long his face has adapted physically into the persona he wants to convey. His eyebrows are locked into this knitted shape, which he hopes shows extreme compassion.

Actually it is hugely important to interact with staff, the press, the public, foreign dignitaries, the other party, Congress

You never figured that out?

Like Obama...

Perhaps, so Obama leaves in two years and Cruz never gets in office. Win win.

The GOP can win next time with a Bush, Christie, perhaps with a Paul or a Walker. No one else from the far right.

I hope you are wrong. After Bush and Obama, we need a competent leader who understand the Constitution and the American people's needs.

Hillary is definitely beatable

Not by this group of Republicans

No vision, no message.......No GUTS

 

[HenryBHough]

No one named 'Ted' has ever been the smartest person in the room. Googling 'famous scientists Ted' no results.

Ted Kennedy wasn't only a lousy senator, he was also a really shitty driver.

Teddy Roosevelt (the popular usage for "Theodore") was a pompous ass given to wearing Grustarkian uniforms and overloading horses.

Yes, you may have a point.

 

[JakeStarkey]

I think Bush can with the org and the money. He will need Walker as his VP. That will break open the purples states for others to follow.
