Ted Cruz like most politicians SUCK on Foreign Policy.
Cruz is a likable guy who can't go the distance on the national stage.
He shares that with Rick Perry.
When Sarah P is more of a finisher than these guys, the party is in great trouble.
The political establishment that fears Ted Cruz is the GOP political establishment. shutting down the government punishes all Republicans. So does Teds "No compromise" style
Mainstream America looks at Ted and says.......conservatives are crazy
Republicans pay the price
Ted Cruz is an attorney specializing in Constitutional matters and has successfully brought those cases before the SCOTUS?
He is very popular. A fact that democrats never tire of lying about.
I hope he becomes President.
The problem with Cruz is that he is not a very like able person. He does not play well with others. He is obnoxious and condescending. Now, those qualities sit well with conservative voters but they turn off the moderates and independents who actually elect presidentsThe political establishment that fears Ted Cruz is the GOP political establishment. shutting down the government punishes all Republicans. So does Teds "No compromise" style
Mainstream America looks at Ted and says.......conservatives are crazy
Republicans pay the price
As always, I try to remember that this board is heavy on the rw nutters. Most R voters are not as crazy as what we read here.
But, we need to be aware that there are still people who would actually vote for Cruz. They seem to like the whole governing by temper tantrum and blackmail that Cruz does.
That's just stunning to me.
I will concede you are correct in that you can never overestimate the stupidity of the Texas voter. After all, they did elect Rick Perry Governor three times.
However, I have seen politicians like Ted Cruz my whole life. They exist solely to grab the microphone and appear on camera. They do not last long in the limelight
Yes and Texas is doing better than all the other states. We've produced more jobs than all the other states COMBINED!!!

Texas is kicking ass and taking names.... not bad for stupid people huh?
You forgot the part about being ranked the worst in healthcare in the nation.
Ted Cruz like most politicians SUCK on Foreign Policy.
Cruz sucks at being a human being.
He's also completely ignorant of the Constitution. That's why he's yammering about "repeal and/or defund". He did finally admit that neither is possible but that's really all he's got going for him.
Hopefully, like West and Walsh, the voters will see through his act and he'll be out with the next election.
OTOH, as someone pointed out, he's in Texasss and they'll vote for damn near any loon who comes along.
Whatever, he's what my old man used to refer to as "tits on a pup". Utterly useless.
Interview with Sen. Ted Cruz: Republican defeatism surprises me | Rare
When the campaign started in January 2011, I was at 2% in the polls and the margin of error was 3%. Nobody gave us a prayer. But, over the next year, thousands upon thousands of men and women across Texas came together and worked tirelessly, knocking on doors, making phone calls, sending e-mails, speaking out on Facebook and Twitter. And, thanks to their incredible hard work, thanks to their passion for change, we went from 2% in the polls to not just winning, but winning the primary by 14 points and winning the general by 16 points. It was an incredible testament to the grassroots, and to what Texans can do working together.
Texans got engaged in the Senate race, I believe, because they understood that the country is at a crossroads. That we cannot keep going down the road we are going, [with] of out-of-control spending, debt, taxes, and regulation. That we cant keep bankrupting the next generations. And that it has been career politicians in both parties who got us in this mess.
It is a remarkable privilege to serve at a time such as this, at time when the stakes are so high. Im honored to work for 26 million Texans, and every day I try to do my very best to fight for them, to defend free-market principles and champion our constitutional liberties, so that we can pull our country back from the brink. And Im deeply optimistic that, together, we can prevail we can return to our founding principles that have made America the freest and most prosperous nation in the world.
Cruz not only sees the problems clearly, but he has enough faith in the moral right to pursue his reform agenda not matter that the experts say he cant get it done.
This country needs men like him and Senator Paul to restore it to its former glory and prosperity.
Depends on how you measure 'best'. There are some highly regarded medical establishments in Texas, but if you are looking at only dollars spent the much lower cost of living in Texas is always going to be a handicap, pushing total amounts down by comparison to most other states.

Nonsense.
Cruz is a demagogue, and as already correctly noted, completely ignorant of the Constitution and its case law, his use of meaningless phrases such as returning to our founding principles is proof of that.
America is currently functioning in accordance with its founding principles, as originally intended by the Framers the notion of returning to anything is partisan idiocy.
The last thing this country needs is the likes of Cruz or Paul, they represent everything wrong with the GOP: the ignorance and hate exhibited by many on the right.

Worst based on access, affordability, and quality of care offered to all Texans.
Moy acknowledged Texas' poor showing was partly the result of its heavily uninsured population - the nation's highest, at more than 25 percent - but said it was also due to the weak delivery of care in different settings and clinical areas.
Texas' worst mark came in the home health care setting, where it was rated very weak for care provided to elderly and disabled who live at home. Among clinical areas, it was rated very weak for diabetes care.
Texas fared best - average - in the mortality rates and potentially avoidable complications of privately insured people.
It ranked below average in those areas for people without insurance and those covered by Medicaid or Medicare.
State officials minimized the rankings.
"Our office is reviewing the study, but at first glance it appears to be an extremely broad report that goes well beyond the parameters of the state Medicaid program and doesn't take into account our diverse population," Catherine Frazier, press secretary for Gov. Rick Perry, said in a statement.
