Ted Cruz appears to be the only completely sane person left
running for president of the United States in 2016. He is extraordinarily
intelligent, quick-witted, funny, stable, gracious, and possessed of broad-based
historical knowledge. He is a legitimate conservative with unflinching and
principled beliefs who holds true to the country’s founding ideals and has a
deep and abiding knowledge of- and respect for- the Supreme Court and its
proper role in the republic. He is fearless, possesses a passion for
excellence, and completely devoid of the pathetic need for group approval.
He is
the only candidate who has repeatedly bested Donald Trump in debate while not
continually resorting to gutter-snipe tactics. He always manages to retain his
composure even while being subjected to Trump’s most vitriolic and sophomoric
attacks…and often responds by saying, “Donald is a friend of mine, but…” with a
twinkle in his eye and a slight, wry smile. During the increasingly over-the-top
Republican debates he has asked, “Is this
the debate we want, is this the debate the American people want?”
As I’ve
stated before, Trump is the anti-Reagan. Ronald Reagan would be deeply and
honestly appalled by Trump’s behavior and demeanor. He would applaud Cruz’s.
“The Donald” is the consummate insider, deal-maker, and compromiser. He has
been in bed with the East Coast power-brokers for decades. Conversely, Ted Cruz
came to Washington rather recently and immediately let the establishment types
know he wouldn’t genuflect in their direction, and wouldn’t play by their
archaic nanny-state and freedom-suffocating rules. Naturally, big-government
types that they are, they hated/hate him for this. Both party’s establishments
hate Cruz.
That is the
best endorsement that any politician could possibly have right now.
Many
pundits have nearly come unglued trying to decipher Trump’s hold on so many
voters. I completely understand Trump’s appeal. It is just misplaced. Cruz is
the real conservative/populist. Cruz is the actual outsider. Cruz understands
immigration policy and its affects, the economy, the insanity of
political-correctness gone mad, the United States’ proper role in the world,
the importance of the Judiciary, and most of the other pressing issues of our
time. If elected, he would surround himself with competent, quality, mature
adults…who actually love and respect their country and its traditions.
Obama
has turned the concept of friends and enemies on its head. During a Cruz
presidency our friends and enemies would be returned to their proper places and
would know exactly where they stand and what to expect. That would in turn
ensure much greater global stability, benefitting us all.
The
world is in turmoil. The times are getting desperate. Tension and conflict rule
the day.
The United
States- and the world- would benefit from Cruz Control.
