“If President Obama wants to have a real border meeting with @GovernorPerry, here are a couple suggested detours,” Cruz tweeted on Tuesday. The maps show driving routes from Austin to the border town of Laredo (235 miles, 3 hours) and Dallas to border town McAllen (506 miles, 7 hours and 29 minutes

His beliefs are not totally aligned with my own, but the issues I place the highest priority on, he speaks to me.
I keep getting rebuffed when I say he will be the candidate in 2016 and that he would win, but I'll say it again
If he has presidential aspirations, he'll win. There is no way anyone can hang with him in a televised debate. He is concise, he is brutal yet polite, and he is very precise with what he says. Again, maybe I'm a stooge, but I think he is the only candidate who I feel is being 100% honest when he says that nothing short of repealing obamacare is acceptable.

I dunno Fox, most of the Senate Rs can't stand Cruz. I think Cruz would be beaten down by the R party-no way he gets the nomination. Although the Ds would love for him to be the nominee. You may like him but I don't think he plays well with most of the country.

I see Cruz as more of a spoiler. He'll split the tea party vote with Rand Paul allowing a more establishment-aligned candidate to get the nomination.

Cruz would only be slightly better than Palin. He is as bad as Biden as sticking his foot in his mouth, ok maybe not that bad.
I will eat a pair of shoes if he becomes president.

That's very likely. Who do you think the eventual candidate will be?

Most people have never seen him deconstruct someone in a debate. They just hear Harry Reid saying he's shutting down the gubment
Like I said, once this guy gets on a televised debate with an enormous audience, he will connect
I'm being a tad naive maybe, but it's not a scenario to totally dismiss

Well they do hear fellow R Peter King trashing him. Cruz is not well liked by his peers. No doubt he is very intelligent but his other attributes probably won't help him. But hey, in the world of politics you never know what may happen.

He comes off very snarky and not serious.
He might do well in a debate but debates don't really decide elections. Also, if you remember, the good debater last time around - newt - got eaten alive on the campaign trail.
What wins election is ground game, campaign stops and messaging. He might be good at that stuff but I think the snarky/sarcastic side of his persona is going to cause a lot of problems on the campaign trail for him.

I'm not sure yet. There seem to be several establishment characters considering running like Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Mitt Romney (3rd Time's the Charm!), ect. I see the establishment, early on in the campaign season, coalescing behind one candidate and allowing the Tea Party to eat their own and split the vote while their guy wins narrowly in most primaries and more handily in the blue state ones.
The issue with Rand is that the people he most excites do not vote in Republican primaries.

It's not just faith in Cruz. It's faith in the power of television. They can hate him all they want. If Cruz explodes, I would imagine their desire to win the WH trumps their personal dislike (and that's what it is from both sides)
Posted on 7/9/14 at 4:57 pm to kingbob
I think (if his last name wasn't Bush) that Jeb would be the candidate that would fair better on a national level. I used to think it would be Christie but he may be mortally wounded from the bridge scandal. I just can't see Romney getting the nod. But it is a political eternity until the election, so who knows.

I feel like Cruz is 100% looking out for Cruz and Cruz only. He strikes me as the kind of politician who will do anything and say anything to get elected. He used Tea Party rhetoric to get elected to the Senate in Texas. The jury is still out as to whether or not he would really walk the walk as president.

Cruz is establishment scum.
His wife is Goldman Sach's royalty.
You want more of the same, it's cruz. He's the other side of the coin.

King's a douchebag who thinks highly of himself because he's a TV whore.
IIRC, he specifically talked down to Cruz while referring to himself as "the third highest-ranking Republican on television."

I have no love for King, but I think Cruz's ego is much bigger than King's.
