Can Ted Cruz run for President?

So you think that Cruz will discern himself from Obama, by doing exactly what Obama did.

That is some convoluted logic.

 

Cruz's mother was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware,[14] in a family of Irish and Italian descent.[17][12]

She was the first person in her family to attend college.

She earned an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Rice University in Houston in the 1950s, working summers at Foley's and Shell Oil.[24] She later worked in Houston as a computer programmer at Shell.[18] Cruz has said, "I'm Cuban, Irish, and Italian, and yet somehow I ended up Southern Baptist."[25]

Cruz's parents returned to Houston in 1974, after working in the Alberta oil fields, when a slump hit the price of oil and they sold their first seismic data company.[11] They were divorced while Cruz was in law school

 

2016 he'll have finished his term,IF he decides to run,no convolution about it,the only thing similar to O is him running whilst a senator


I doubt seriously though,that he'd make up the 'office of president elect',and give press conferences,if elected

 

Sure he can run, he is qualified per the law, that is if his Party picks him as their candidate (doubtful) and then again the Dems would love it. The Tea Party ties alone would be enough to kill his chance of ever getting enough votes to win at the National Level. But don't believe me, go ahead, trot him out as the best you have, the Dems will alsolutely LOVE you for it and the Indes and Moderates would make you pay for your bad choices once again.

 

We are paying for the bad choices voters made the last two elections.

 

Just not as bad as we've paid for the 2 elections prior to that.

 

Looks like Cruz has the support by the tobacco and chardonnay subsisting anorexic babe, Ann Coulter.

Ann Coulter’s political crush on Ted Cruz​

Ann Coulter is standing by her “love,” Ted Cruz.

“I think he has a very bright future,” Coulter said of Cruz. “He was over in the House whipping the House Republicans. He was like a general in this.”

Coulter, who has previously called the government shutdown “magnificent,” explained why she supported Cruz’s hard-line stance of refusing funding for the government unless the president’s health care law was repealed.

“I think it was a good thing, because it branded Republicans as the anti-Obamacare party,” Coulter said. “Obamacare is less popular than the bubonic plague right now. That's a great branding,” <edit>

Ted Cruz has the GOP anorexic babe support.
Now if he can get Gretchen Carlson's support he will demonstrate his Babedom is not limited to the anorexics.
Come to think of it he does have Sarah Palin, she may be empty headed but, a babe non the less.
Democrats lack babes.

Profound misunderstanding. The Republican position was that they would fund everything except Obamacare. The Democratic position was that they would fund nothing without Obamacare. So who gave 17% of Federal employees a paid vacation?

 

Obama shut down the government because he is a spoiled rotten human being. If Obama doesn't get what he wants he throws a tantrum shuts down the gov. and blames Bush........

 

Cruz is just a token trotted out by the right to appeal to the rapidly growing hispanic population. These clowns think all "hispanics" are the same, and that they will vote in droves for a loser like Cruz all because he's Cuban hispanic.

Cruz will end up being a failure, because I don't think the majority of Cubans will support this clown, let alone other hispanics.

 

I like Ted Cruz, and would love to see a Tea Party candidate in the WH, but more than likely it will be Hillary in 2016. Here's why: The media will back her and give her a pass on the Benghazi disaster. Bill will be campaigning for her. She would be the first woman in the WH. The American People have not had enough punishment yet to finally swing Conservative. The conservative base is not as fired up as they should be.

 

The Bible tells how Bush tempted Jesus in the wilderness.

 

Hostage scenario. Attempting to blame Democrats for the shutdown failed.

Americans recognize Repubs were primarily responsible, and there are both GOP pundits and politicians who have admitted it.

 

Correction, last THREE elections.

Another classic right-wing rant based on fiction.

 

Lighten up Francis.

You remind me of my brother who had to take time to tell people that Colbert wasn't really a "conservative."

 

Last I checked Obama is in neither the House or the Senate.

He didn't have a vote in the matter.

Either the House or the Senate could have prevented shutting down the government.

You can argue which side was correct- but its just stupid to deny that either could have prevented it.

 

Cruz for President! I think it's a great idea, Democrats will enthusiastically support Ted Cruz for Republican presidential candidate.

 

Responsible in the sense that they raised the Obamacare issue, which was their duty to those who elected them.

Now everyone will know that Democrats bear sole responsibility for millions of people losing their health care policies or having their premiums increase by as much as 200%, plus those who will lose their jobs or have their hours cut. Yes, a great political victory for Dems. Their only prayer is that roll-out be postponed until after the 2014 election, but it looks like they'll go down with their ship.

 

There's a difference.

Schwarzenegger 's parents like his birthplace were Austrian.

Cruz's parents were American, at least one of them is my understanding. If, and I do not know this, if his parents registered his birth with a local consulate at the time and before he was brought into the US, I believe he has US citizenship.

I am unclear what happens if they did not, but there are, I understand, a few avenues open to him to prove US citizenship after the fact.

But, it is a good question and one which Mr. Cruz seems rather quiet, and I wonder why that is?

 

Cutting funding for Yellowstone National Park while the Affordable Care Act continued to be fully funded because you were in a snit over the law properly enacted in 2010 didn't seem to make sense to most Americans, even before the gambit failed. Thus, the condemnation from the business community, conservative pundits, and sensible folks everywhere.

If you oppose a law, you elect enough representatives to repeal it. That's the democratic process.

 

Meanwhile, the middle class that elected Obama is finding that when he talked about the rich paying more, he meant them. The median household income is about $54K. Obama thinks that people who are already giving government near 50% of their incomes when Federal, state, county, and municipal taxes are combined can easily afford a few thousand more for a policy that offers less coverage than the one they had. These are the realities Democrats ignore, but the people they're hurting most make up most of voters. Your request for a Congress that will repeal Obamacare may be met after 2014.

Of course Obama will veto a repeal bill, and Senate Dems will demand Republicans have at least 60 votes (which violates the Constitution), so it seemed - still seems - urgent to erase this monstrosity before it does irreparable harm. What do Democrats want? Only two things, it seems - to "win," and to extend government power. They're going to "take care" of us, whether gently or like The Godfather is your guess.

P.S. Good one about Yellowstone Park, but it was Democrats who insisted on shutting 17% of the government and paying furloughed workers, wasn't it? Republicans insisted on funding everything but Obamacare. "Sensible folks" must be those who won't be hurt or who don't yet know that they'll be hurt. "Conservative pundits" must mean Establishment RINOs - liberals lite - whose opinions are as predictable as unprincipled. The "business community" must mean companies profiting from Obamacare - largely companies slipping lots of cash to Democrats - not the businesses which are laying off employees or cutting their hours because of Obamacare. Obama himself loves to pretend that his ideas are just plain common sense and that he's perplexed why anyone would disagree. I suppose that's effective rhetoric, but it's a form of lying.

 

You can believe whatever comports with your agenda, of course. Regardless of whether you think successful WillardCare is a proper paradigm to make health insurance coverage available to 48 million Americans, the stunt by extremists was a disaster. If Republicans offered an alternative plan to achieve inclusive coverage at lower cost, they would be taken seriously. Americans want pragmatic solutions, not ideological boilerplate.

 

All Obama had to do was agree to delay Obamacare. Now they are delaying it for 6 weeks and every 6 weeks for a year. Obama \care sucks. It will never work but hey Obama didn't want it to work. Isn't it great to have a pres. that knows nothing that is going on in the white house?

 

All the House had to do was not try to hold our government hostage to their demands to defund ACA. Hey I get that you really, really hate ACA.

But as I said

Last I checked Obama is in neither the House or the Senate.

He didn't have a vote in the matter.

Either the House or the Senate could have prevented shutting down the government.

You can argue which side was correct- but its just stupid to deny that either could have prevented it.

 

You are talking about the democrat lemmies..............That would do anything Obama told them to do.
