Ted Cruz To Deliver Keynote Address At CPAC

[Lakhota]

By Nick Wing

Freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has been selected to deliver the keynote address at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, American Conservative Union President Al Cardenas told WRAL's "Mornings on the Mall" on Friday.

Cruz had already confirmed a speaking role at the conference, which is set to take place March 14-16 in the Washington D.C. area, but the decision to have him close out the conference marks another high-profile move for the Senate newcomer.

A tea party favorite, Cruz has quickly made a name for himself during Capitol Hill proceedings with aggressive and controversial cross-examinations of President Barack Obama's cabinet nominees. He also raised eyebrows last month when he stood by earlier allegations that Harvard Law School had employed a number of communists when he attended the school in the early 1990s.

A number of other prominent Republicans will speak ahead of Cruz to the largest annual gathering of conservatives, following the theme of "America's Future: The Next Generation Of Conservatives."

The list includes 2016 GOP presidential prospects such as Govs. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who has also been given a keynote speaking role. Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who delivered the keynote address at CPAC in 2012, have also accepted speaking roles at the high-profile conference.

How do Republicans expect Ted "McCarthy" Cruz to help them? They just keep doubling down on the same old stupid shit.

He represents conservatives well.

 

[Political Junky]

A Star is Born

 

[Seawytch]

Yeah! That's the "star" the GOP needs to hitch it's train to.

 

[OKTexas]

Let's see here he graduated from Harvard Law with honors, clerked for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, actually practiced law, authored more than 80 Supreme Court briefs and argued 9 cases before SCOTUS. I'd say he a hell of a lot more qualified than your community organizer. But hey, that's just me.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

Let's see here he graduated from Harvard Law with honors...

And Barack Obama was the President of the Harvard Law Review as well as being elected twice .. twice to the office of the US Presidency

 

[Agit8r]

Reminds me of how the conservative coalition in the floundering Weimar Republic united around a guy with a funny little mustache

 

[editec]

Keynote speakers typically are people going places.

 

[Stephanie]

well stop the damn presses

Yep, your dear leader is good at getting a job,..............doing the job, not so much. Ted Cruz on the other hand is a doer, not a snake oil salesman.

Cruz wants to run communists out of the film industry? Really? I missed that one.

I was just thinking the same thing (about doubling down).

It looks like the predicted internal civil war for the future of the GOP message is officially underway.

So far, as a Senator, all Cruz has exhibited is that he's a rhetorical bomb-thrower and rabble rouser. Alas, the conservative rabble do so love being roused.

 

[GeoLaureate8]

Ted Cruz and Rand Paul will tear down the house at CPAC.

[OKTexas]

lol

Short answer, YES

He was partner in one of the nations largest law firms, where he led the firm’s U.S. Supreme Court and national Appellate Litigation practice.
