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 (#0) Cruz almost certainly has no shot of winning the nomination, according to every indicator that predicts success in presidential primaries. That's exactly what the pundits said about Reagan... I for one hope Cruz keeps on being underestimated. At a minimum, your fellow party members shouldn’t hate you. Who be that? McStain? McConnell?? The whitebeard, establishment RINOs?? Their numbers are overinflated. These turncoat "bi-partisan" whores can pound salt.

So....do you really believe that Cruz can be the republican's presidential nominee? - and that this can happen without the support (and money) of the moderates? - please don't compare Cruz to Reagan.... most people liked RR - that is simply not the case with Cruz.... Or - do you expect him to start playing the "kinder, gentler" candidate? Jameson  posted on  2015-03-24   10:14:58 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #27.

I hope you, the moderate'leftist pundits and the establishment-types continue to believe Cruz is unelectable based on "likeability," and impossible to finance. There are far more patriots -- within the general populace, industry, and private sector -- who recognize Cruz is the only anecdote to 0buma's gutting of this nation in every way. THIS is a guy who is laser-focused. Liberator  posted on  2015-03-24   10:22:06 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #34.

So what makes one a "patriot?" 2. If Mr. Cruz is the only "anecdote" what will the "patriots" do if he (god forbid) does not become the republican's nominee?

Actually I really don't care much for political parties or labels like "conservative" or "liberal" This style thinking is limiting, divisive, and antique.

To: Jameson (#69) (Edited) Actually I really don't care much for political parties or labels like "conservative" or "liberal" I guess you don't much care for defining a person or party by their respective words, deeds, actions, life philosophy, or agendas either. That's the reason for party or labels, aka "branding." This style thinking is limiting, divisive, and antique. IMHO It's a necessary means of discernment or judgment. Is in your opinion discernment or judgement....irrelevant? Liberator  posted on  2015-03-24   13:49:58 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #77. To: Liberator (#71) 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. As long as they remain aligned with that party, they will be neutered and rendered ineffective by the corrupt crony capitalist contingent that has dominated that party since 1868. It's not going to change, ever, and I see no value in lying to myself and pretending that it will. The Democrats are babykillers and the Republicans are crapweasels. There may have been "Good Germans" by somebody's definition, somewhere, but it's 1943 and I'm a pilot over Germany: they're all bad. I'm not going to be discriminating, trying to find the good, because I don't care. They're the enemy, and they're all bad. 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. Vicomte13  posted on  2015-03-24   14:40:56 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #89.

Granting even that Republicans are some "party of the rich" (when 2/3 of the billionaires in America are active Dem partisans), when did "greedy" become just as bad as "baby murderers". You say these things over and over again. It is an established pattern in your posts, not some isolated instance. And your next response will be to portray the GOP's opposition to abortion as being somehow worse or just more dishonest than the Dems' sheer bloodlust for abortion mills.

To: Jameson (#90) Please cite your source - thanks There's this thing called Google. You should check it out. 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.

To: Jameson, TooConservative (#109) (Edited) You said 2/3 of the Billionaires support Democrats... The your source states otherwise. I'm sure it was just a typo Hung up on the minutia of style instead of substance -- typical. Have you given ANY consideration to the continued lying myth by Democrats that Republicans are the "party of the rich"? Still, TC's point is made: The MAJORITY of billionaires are indeed Dems, aren't they? And at that, even those figures are sure to be fudged and skewed. ("...according to a POLITICO analysis of reports filed with the Federal Election Commission and Internal Revenue Service. ) The above fedgoob agencies are under complete partisan Dem control; NOT exactly trusted sources of these or ANY "official" numbers.

To: Liberator, TooConservative (#113) Have you given ANY consideration to the continued lying myth by Democrats that Republicans are the "party of the rich"? No I've given that claim no consideration at all. My point was simple - The 2/3 claim was false. To your point: "...The MAJORITY of billionaires are indeed Dems, aren't they?..." I believe that the MAJORITY of billionaires will support whomever promotes their particular agenda.

To: Jameson (#117) No I've given that claim no consideration at all [to the continued lying myth by Democrats that Republicans are the "party of the rich"?] But maybe you should. It's the basis of the Dems' propaganda class warfare on Republicans. My point was simple - The 2/3 claim was false. There is such a thijg as "winning" by a technicality, but losing on principle. I believe that the MAJORITY of billionaires will support whomever promotes their particular agenda. So you believe ALL agendas the same?? And IF one agenda is to pretend they support the plight of the poor and middle class while destroying the same poor and middle class? (like most Democrats?)....then what? Certain candidates indeed DO actually make a difference. Look at Der Fuehrer, Hoosane B. 0dinga and his regime.
