He has copied Trump’s playbook and has completely called out the Dems for their crooked ways. Almost scorched earth on them every chance he gets. Is he maneuvering for a 2024 run?? I like what I am seeing.

The Prez primary got into him; he learned how to do it right

From "Lyin' Ted" to "Lion Ted." Trump has awakened Cruz' inner beast.

He almost lost his last election. Why not copy Trump? His stale arse barely won

Trump did this to him back in 2016.

Trump shifted the Overton Window.

Being aggressive is now socially acceptable. Not everyone has taken his lead, but some, like Cruz, have.

I like Lion Ted and I'm glad to have him in Congress, but he just doesn't have that It Factor when it comes to a national election. He would make an excellent VP, though.

Ted was my initial choice for President (Carson a close second).

He's a good, brilliant guy.

I think Trumps' success has emboldened him.

Unfortunately, he looks like Goober Pyle and doesn't have the most magnetic personality.

Still, he would make an outstanding President.

Trump wasn't the only candidate being spied on.

Cruz has since learned that he was also a target of Spygate too ..... and it is suspected that Rand Paul will also be named in documents soon to be released (next 30 days).

Cruz is a constitutionalist .... and domestic political spying strictly violates his Rights as a US citizen ....

Trump taught Ted, "never bring a knife to a gun fight".

I think Trump caused him to grow a set. He had moments, but would never just go both barrels. Then he saw how people respond to DJT, and I think it inspired him.

Ted was my man in the last presidential primary.

100% happy that Trump beat him, now.

Happy, that Cruz unlike the Cucks, is learning the Trump-MSM Beat Down Procedure!

He was doing that before 2016, but nobody noticed because true conservatives don't get the press they need to get the message out (by design).

Trump’s threat to out Rafael Cruz has a CIA mole is paying dividends.

Cruz was always a fighter. There’s good reason Ted was Trump’s only real rival during the 2016 primaries.

Cruz probably would have been the GOP nominee in 2016 if not for Trump. He has to be one of the early favorites for the 2024 nom. Good chance it comes down between him and Pence with Rand and a Trump heir as darkhorses. Pence is likely the favorite at this point.
