Ted Cruz’s newly minted presidential campaign is the media equivalent of a juicy rib-eye that robbers use to distract a guard dog during a heist. He’ll get a ton of media attention, and he’ll get to spread his message — which may be all that Cruz is after — but Cruz almost certainly has no shot of winning the nomination, according to every indicator that predicts success in presidential primaries. First, Cruz doesn’t have enough support from party bigwigs. To win the Republican or Democratic nomination, you need the backing of at least some of the party apparatus. At a minimum, your fellow party members shouldn’t hate you. Otherwise, you end up getting the Newt Gingrich 2012 treatment. That is, you get pounced on the moment you’re seen as a threat to win the nomination. Click for Full Text!

To: Jameson (#74) I don't believe that everyone who is identified as a "republican" (or other designation) will all respond or act in the same manner in any given situation. Everyone responds differently. MOST conservatives/Republicans WILL base their life philosophy and ethics on absolutes of morality, individual liberty, and self-preservation. MOST liberal/Democrats will base their life philosophy and ethics on feelings, moral relativism, and group-think "fairness." The label or (party label) is irrelevant. Is it? Don't labels define us based on either the truth or by whomever controls the political narrative based on propaganda? In our culture's case, who would deny that this arbiter is decidedly an anti-Christian, liberal-socialist philosophy?

Politico: Blue billionaires on top The 100 biggest donors of 2014 gave nearly $174 million to Democrats, compared to more than $140 million to Republicans, according to a POLITICO analysis of reports filed with the Federal Election Commission and Internal Revenue Service. Donors who gave mostly or exclusively to Democrats held down 52 of the top 100 spots, including that of the biggest by far – retired San Francisco hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer, who spent $74 million helping Democratic candidates and groups. Given its reliable liberal tilt, Politico went on to portray all the secret-donor PACs as overwhelmingly Republican, based on very sketchy infomation. It's the usual they-all-do-it-but-Republicans-are-so-much-more-icky that Politico is notorious for. Tooconservative  posted on  2015-03-25   10:41:43 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #100. To: Vicomte13 (#77) I'm not going to let the Republicans off the hook. There are no "Good Republicans". There are some people with good ideas and values who have mistakenly aligned themselves with the Republican Party. Make up your mind. There is only ONE Party who possesses the political muscle and will to legislate morally and constitutionally, for better or worse -- at present, that is the GOP. Now the Party can either be taken back and reclaimed as in any other war, OR we stop fight right now and surrender. Republicans and Democrats have been so consistently bad, for so long, they have exhausted any willingness on my part to expend any further energy trying to find kernels of edible corn in their poop. Crapweasels and babykillers. They can all go die in a hole and we would be better for it. So....ALL the Republicans and conservatives who've been fighting the good fight should just...indict themselves as no different than Dem baby-killers and destroyers of the USCON??

To: tomder55, redleghunter, nolu chan (#87) (Edited) The way I see it is that we have tried moderate party establishment types with Romney McCain ,and before that Bob Dole. Didn't work out so well. Predictably disastrous with those designated moderate, pro-statist losers, but it's worse than that -- the Vichy RNC has actually actively sabotaged its own chances to win....THEN when it actually does win, the GOP yields to Dem politics and policy. Go figure. I am not sur Cruz is the best candidate . His opening salvo was brilliant . It will frame the debate throughout the primary season. Cruz puts pressure on the Left and Dems. He's GOT to sustain it and the initiative. My reservations are that Cruz is a conservative version of the emperor in some ways. He doesn't have executive experience ;even his legislative record is thin. He has little foreign policy experience. In this cycle I think foreign policy will be a determinant Well, visionaries are like that -- he's not shy about articulating his positions without the usual reservations or hedging of bets. That may come off as "emperor"-like, but make no mistake -- as we have seen, "emperors" don't usually pay much attention to the Constitution. Cruz DOES. As to policy and executive experience, 0buma's "executive experince" was as a socialist, race-baiting. "Communtah Organizer." Didn't seem to bother the GOP. Or dopey voters. The job of the President these days should be to surround themselves with like-minded, high-minded Constitutionalists and America-Firsters and be the the CEO of this nation. The Citizens are like stock-holders. If I were to go to the polls today and have to choose from the probable field ,I'd most likely go with a principled conservative governor (and the GOP bench has quite a few to choose from.) Which leaves who? Christie, Kascich, Walker, or Jindal? The first three are compromised or moderates, and Jindal -- though a good man -- isn't forceful enough (IMHO.)

They say what they need to to get elected, and then they do what their crony capitalist controllers want. It's visible. It's been this way for a long, long time. There are conservatives who want things to be better. Things can never get better if conservatives remain in the GOP. They are divided and the GOP conquers them. It gets their votes and their money, thereby diluting all of that for any sort of EFFECTIVE action.

To: Liberator (#106) THEN when it actually does win, the GOP yields to Dem politics and policy. Go figure. Because the GOP, since 1868, has been the party of capitalist stockjobbers whose profits are derived primarily from monopolistic government contracts. They produce goods and services for the government, they are given contracts without competition, and they get rich through long-term, stable feeding on the government payroll. This became the central power of the Republican Party with the wholly corrupt Administration of Ulysses S. Grant, following the Civil War, and it has never changed. What is most important to the core GOP is that the contracts remain stable. THAT is their alpha issue: very larger, permanent, non-competitive government contracts that take about a quarter of the treasury and transfer it to the contractors. For that to be stable and certain, the GOP must retain a certain level of power in Congress, as well as in the Civil Service. It was the GOP who made the Civil Service "professional" (in the Presidency of Chester Arthur), at a time when its ranks were completely Republican. As that waned with time, the GOP shifted and empowered cabinet secretaries and did other things. The Republicans don't need to control the whole government, and they don't need to control every agency. They need to control the big contracting agencies, the ones that hire the Halliburtons. And they need to have enough political clout that the Democrats in Congress and the rest of the Republicans will quietly concede the contracts to them, in exchange for everything else. That "everything else" is the game of retail politics. The GOP needs to retain sufficient popularity to get elected in sufficient numbers to keep the contract farm stable. To do that, they have to enthuse people with issues, but they're never serious about those issues, they always clutch up on the key pitches, because, in part, they don't care, and also because they don't WANT to win. For those executives and contributors who profit from the stockjobbing are not particularly conservative. They're to the left on most issues, but their bread is buttered through contracts and special tax clauses, so they use the GOP as their technical blocker and champion. Everything else doesn't matter as much, and Republicans will never die on the hills that conservatives want them to fight for. They will die for tax preferences and contract rights - THOSE things are esoteric, arranged quietly, and non-negotiable. The grand-standing issues like abortion? Conservatives care. Some Republican pols care. Other strike the pose to get the votes. The actual crony capitalists are socially liberal and will never let the GOP strike down abortion. They like the optionality for their own daughters and mistresses, and they concede this to their wives and their Harvard Club buddies. That's the way it is. It cannot change. The money and power bloc is solid, and lucrative. Politicians who protect it come through the revolving door and cash out throughout the rest of their lives. This is the REAL core GOP, and it's not going to change. Vicomte13  posted on  2015-03-25   12:45:19 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #132.
