Title: Let’s Be Serious About Ted Cruz From The Start: He’s Too Extreme And Too Disliked To Win

Texas Sen. 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.

Extreme is the wrong word - he is a grifter - in his decleration he only mentioned 'conservatives' a lot rather than referring to Americans - to someone with a marketing background like I have that means he is not running for president for real but to boost his power in the conservative base which he then can exploit for money and even retire to do TV shows or what not and serve as someone who can have the power to endorse.

All his actions in the senate thus far were publicity stunts to work up the base and serve as talk show radio fodder.

That is because liberals aren't real Americans. They have divorced themselves from the culture and they want to make something different. They support thievery, murder, bullying, and drinking the blood of aborted babies.

Again, it shows that Cruz is trying to grift the base like you AKA rather than appeal to a broader audience and actually have a chance to win as president.

He is telling the truth of who he is. You sound like one of those people who would suggest lying is a good way to "appeal to a audience".

Cruz is right on about everything. To try to appeal to libfags would be to lose his appeal to REAL Americans.

That approach would be great if the USA has a parlimentary system of govt.
