Tomorrow should be fun.
UPDATE:
It’s 2 am and since I can’t sleep I figured I would share some of my thoughts.
Wiki:
Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz (born December 22, 1970 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada) is the junior United States Senator from Texas. Elected in 2012 as a Republican, he is the first Hispanic or Cuban American to serve as a U.S. senator from Texas.[3][4][5] He is the chairman of the subcommittee on the Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts, U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.[6] He is also the chairman of the subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness, U.S. Senate Commerce Committee.
Between 1999 and 2003, Cruz served as the director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, an associate deputy attorney general at the United States Department of Justice, and as domestic policy advisor to U.S. President George W. Bush on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign. He served as Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to May 2008, after being appointed by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.[7] He was the first Hispanic,[5][8] the youngest[5][9] and the longest-serving solicitor general in Texas history.[10] Cruz was also an adjunct professor of law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, from 2004 to 2009.[11][12] While there, he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation.[11] Cruz is one of three Latinos in the Senate; the others—also Americans of Cuban ancestry—are fellow Republican Marco Rubio of Florida and Democrat Bob Menendez of New Jersey.[13]
Cruz was the Republican nominee for the Senate seat vacated by fellow Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison.[14] On July 31, 2012, he defeated Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst in the Republican primary runoff, 57%–43%.[15] Cruz defeated former state Representative Paul Sadler, in the general election, on November 6, 2012. He prevailed 56%–41% over Sadler.[15][16] Cruz openly identifies with the Tea Party movement and has been endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus.[17] On November 14, 2012, Cruz was appointed vice-chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.[18]
On March 23, 2015, Cruz announced he would run in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.
Ted Cruz is running, but can he win?
Short answer: Yes – this is America, where any boy or girl can grow up to be President!
Long answer: Maybe – there is a path to victory but it won’t be easy.
Ted Cruz will be an upstart/insurgent/Cinderella candidate. The Big Money and GOPE (same thing) are already lining up behind Jeb Bush. If Jeb falters the money will shift to someone else, but that person will NOT be Ted Cruz.
The media won’t only not support him, they will be against him. That includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and all the rest of the GOPE media. Remember how the media treated Sarah Palin? Prepare to see that kind of treatment on steroids.
So how does a candidate with no money and a hostile media stand a snowflake’s chance in Hell of success?
I never said he couldn’t raise any money. He’ll never be the guy with deep pockets who can buy votes with slick campaigns and expensive political consultants. He’ll need to raise enough to get on the ballots and to travel frequently to the early primary states, but he can use social media and hostile news coverage to get noticed by the voters. (A hostile media is actually a plus for a Republican primary candidate.)
That means he will be spending a lot of time in Iowa and New Hampshire for the rest of this year, along with a few trips to other early primary/caucus states. He will have to perform well in debates and at candidate forums where the media and his competitors will be looking to sandbag him with trick questions, hoping to cause a gaffe.
It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) that a single gaffe could torpedo his chances. And you can rest assured that if there are any skeletons in his closet somebody will find them.
I believe he is constitutionally eligible to be POTUS, but you can expect that to be an issue at various points in the campaign. I don’t think there will be an authentic grassroots birther movement but I’m sure the media will assist in ginning up an astroturf attack.
The key for Ted Cruz is to win early. Forget the national polls or the ones comparing him to Hillary. He needs a strong performance in Iowa and New Hampshire. Even second place might do it. But if he finishes in the middle of the pack (or worse) he’ll never make it to Super Duper Tuesday. That is true of all the candidates except Jebbie.
If he wins early and presents a credible challenge to Jeb Bush then the money and volunteers will start flowing in. He’ll still be the underdog, but he’ll still be in the race.
I believe that the candidate who offers the most credible challenge to Jeb Bush will win the nomination. The GOPE loves them some Jebster, but the voters don’t like him. The problem for Ted Cruz is Scott Walker. He has to beat Walker before he can take on Jeb.
Right now Scott Walker is still at the top of my list. But I won’t be casting any votes until next year. A lot can happen in a year.
Stay tuned!
Scott Walker is still my first choice, but Walker/Cruz would be a good combo. If Ted wins the nomination I’ll vote for him in the general.
Anything is possible, but his early entry might also be a way to make Walker’s eventual entry more palpable to significant chunks of the GOPE who may be all Bushed out.
Walker’s governor experience and Cruz’s DC experience would be a very good combination that is sorely needed. But I hate to lose Cruz in Congress. We need more non establishment congress people on both sides of the aisle. Too many think is it a lifetime job and just expect to stay.
Here’s the thing, Helen. Congress is usually the training ground for future cabinet positions, so we wouldn’t be so much “losing them” as providing a rich environment to “train their replacements”.
honk honk
Walker/Cruz will be the new Clinton/Gore if Republican voters are smart. I’d vote for that ticket.
Ted Cruz can’t win. He’s a Senator so he’s never run that kind of campaign.The GOPE won’t help because he’s too conservative. I can only assuming he’s pulling a Biden and trying to run for Vice President. Walker/Cruz ’16.
I think Ted is ambitions, so I don’t think he’ll turn into a run every cycle guy just for some cash and increased fame. I think he wants to win. He knows the establishment is against him in the worst way. So he’ll have to pull a big dawg, but I’m not sure he’ll pull the numbers. Will be interesting. There will be lots of entertainment from the ‘sploding heads and gnashing of teeth.
He also resonates with my nominally democrat (and therefore taken for granted) Hispanic kin, which could be interesting and potentially game changing.
I agree on Walker. He’s got the Gov. experience, battled and won in a blue state, and actually got things done and helped the state. Don’t know if he has the depth to deal with the mess this and the previous prezzy left the country with, but he seems better than any I’ve seen so far.
I like Carly Fiorina. I think we could use a business executive in Washington now to straighten out the mess.
.
Whether you think Carly Fiorina is a competent business executive with enough skill to run the executive branch of the government may depend on which side of the HP/Compaq merger you sit on. I’m glad she’s in the race. I wouldn’t mind seeing her in a cabinet position, but ‘m not sure she’s ready for the presidency. I used to think it was more important to get a woman into the office than who the woman is. At some points in history that might still be true. But I think this time electing someone who is highly competent and can do the job is more important than gender or race or anything else.
I don’t like Carly Fiorina. Her resume does not impress me – have not seen her turnaround businesses. Quite the opposite.
She didn’t even win her Senate race in CA, she is just raising her profile.
Well not winning that race really can’t be held against her because of the registered voter deficit she faced. Something like 60/40. That she made the effort anyway should accrue to her credit, IMO.
My husband was caught in the Digital/HP/Compaq/Intel blender. He and lots of others emerged with a sign on bonus, stock options, and a small pension for the 2 days he was an HP employee. I’m not complaining, believe me, but who negotiates that kind of deal?
I agree em. 🙂
Carly is great. She’d run hard. I’d also like to see Condi Rice stir the pot, but doubt she will. Either could cause problems for the gopE because of Tea Party affection.
I think she’ll play an important role in the primary season. She’ll be able to go after Hillary easier than a man.
Isn’t this illegal?

Netanyahu pollster: Obama role in election larger than reported
http://thehill.com/policy/international/236565-netanyahu-pollster-obama-role-in-election-larger-than-reported
AFAIK there is no US law against meddling in foreign elections. I have no idea what the law is in Israel.
Thank You.
This is the information Bibi is turning over to Congress for their hearings. If Bibi had lost we would never hear about it. But he won and the victor release’s all the dirt which is why Bronco was so mad. Rigged polling, illegal voting, agit prop, lefty media, same old crap they do in the US. They forgot Bronco’s disapproval is about 70% in Israel.
Chicago style politics imported to the holy land. How infantile.

Why Some Feminists Can Be Very Scary
http://weaselzippers.us/218108-why-some-feminists-can-be-very-scary/
Between now and the end of the year the GOPE is gonna put maximum effort in destroying any credible challengers to Jeb. That’s the only way he wins the nomination.
So watch for all the BIG DEAL stories from erstwhile “real conservative” journalists. They will be “seriously concerned” and “saddened” but will suck it up and bring us, the stoopid, “important news we need to know” anyway. Fortunes will be made.
If the race is between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, it may have the lowest voter turnout in history.
And I think Hillary would win big if that’s the race. Question is, does the GOPE know that, or do they not care?
Yay Ted! I’m so glad he’s running. Don’t know if he can win, but starting now, all the other candidates will have to be BETTER than him on the issues to get my support. I’m looking at you,
No more amnesty pandering, Mr. Throne of Skulls.
I am already looking forward to the other candidates having to debate with him 😉
Me too!

good article on Ted Cruz. Some things maybe we did not know.

read the comments. lot of people do like him
Funny how shutting down government costs more than leaving it open.
The shutdown of 2013 was a shameful episode, but not for Ted Cruz and the GOP. It was a tactic that failed to produce the desired result, but the Obama administration did everything it could to “make it hurt.”
logic seems be deficient in Democrats thinking.

5 reactions to Ted Cruz announcement
What exactly did Republicans (and people who can read legislation like me) lie about Ron you shithead? It is even worse than we said it would be.
He’s saying the Obama administration lied.
OK. But he also says “Republican lies soiled it.” It is really hard to soil something as stinky as the ACA. The actual legislation is such a huge POS that mushrooms will grow on it.
If premiums didn’t rise who would worry about the stupid subsidies. I don’t believe 16 million people were newly insured. Obama poops fake numbers at will, if there were people getting insurance there were certainly more whose policies were cancelled who couldn’t replace their policies.
Cruz has more big money behind him than is advertised. His wife is a regional VP of Goldman Saks. There is also more big LAW money drifting over because Bronco is destabilizing the courts, big biz (contracts duh!), and markets (not to mention foreign policy) by his erratic and illegal legal theories of “I am da king! and I can do whatever I want!” Government, business, and society cannot function in Bronco chaos.
If he raises a few million he can get on all the ballots and run a competitive campaign in the first couple primaries.
He can raise that much in a couple of neighborhoods in Houston. People do not understand how good he is campaigning. He reminds me of Big Dog years ago. The powers that be are afraid of him. And they should be. I don’t think he can win but he will drive all of the other candidates to right-ish populism. Except Jeb of course.
Jeb should run in the Dem primary.
He would loose that one too. He has the personality of a wet dishrag. And he is barely smarter than Shrub. I think he is running because this is his last shot and he would maybe regret not trying or something. And the money Republicans need a shill. I find him kind of pitiful.

Annoying but she has a nice voice
I see by other blogs and comments (left and right) that Cruz is actually a Canadian or a Cuban citizen. Maybe a Spaniard too. However Bronco was never a Kenyan nor an Indonesian. I am confused why one but not the other. Bronco Sr was never a citizen but Cruz Sr is. So are Rubio’s parents. When are the Vile Progs and Corporate Repubs going to sit down and write out all the citizenship and residency rules with the paternity and maternity rules so we know what the hell they are? They change according to who is running. I feel like I am playing checkers with a five year old who makes up the rules as they go along. Apparently growing up in Indonesia with a step-father is good but Canada with a natural father not so much. Also not getting shipped off to grandparents is bad. If only Cruz’s father had been deported.
There are two flavors of birther. The first type thinks he was really born in Kenya. They are insane. The second kind of birther accepts that Obama was born in Hawaii but believes that because his father was not a US citizen than means that Obama is not a “natural born citizen” as required (but not defined) by the Constitution.
The first group is wrong on the facts, but the second group is wrong on the law. There is no statute or case decision that defines NBC as narrowly as the birthers claim.
If you were a US citizen at birth you are an NBC. If you were a citizen of another country and later became a US citizen then you are a “naturalized” citizen.
Yeah, regardless of who Obama’s dad was or whete he was born, he does get US citizenship at birth because of his commie Mom.
my recollection of the way the theory goes (not my theory, just the theory that was pushed around at the time), was that Obama was actually born in Kenya, and AT THE TIME of his birth, US law was that mom’s status as a US citizen would not automatically make him a citizen ( law changed a few years later coincidentally)…. When Obama’s mom was able to travel back after his birth to the U.S., Hawaii issued a birth certificate (a real official birth certificate) for him because Hawaii was allowed to do this based on their somewhat new admission to the U.S.
This dovetails with the stories of no doctors, nurses, etc coming forward to say they watched him get delivered at the hospital, etc… AND the words of his grandmother that Obama WAS actually born in Kenya.
It’s a lot of twisting to make something fit…
I totally agree. But of the things they are hinting at is that Cruz is legally and culturally Cuban or something like that. After screaming racist if the Indonesian, Kenyan, etc (father and step father) influences that Obama touted about himself were mentioned, they are hinting at Hispanic right wing Franco type stuff about Cruz and his father. The hypocrisy is rampant. If Rubio goes up in the polls they will do it to him too.
There is a 3rd theory having to do with the stepfather adopting him and he thus became an Indonesian citizen.
Is it at birth (where) or by birth (from whom) or both to be an NBC vs a U.S. citizen? How do you get a “Statute or case decision that defines NBC”? I believe several plaintiffs tried to get Obama’s presidential qualification as an NBC to the Supreme Court and all such cases were dismissed due to lack of standing, not based on the merits of the case. Who would have standing then to file such a case? The States’ Attorneys-General? If one U.S. Citizen parent makes you a natural born citizen by virtue of 50% of your DNA, is Cruz also a Cuban NBC by virtue of his father’s citizenship? Do you have any concerns with dual allegiance in such cases (as well as Obama’s)? I saw a video of Ted’s dad speaking; he is wicked smart, very eloquent with a fascinating history and I am sure he was and is a strongly influential individual in his children’s and grandchildren’s lives.
Also, I have heard mention of a Supreme Court case where NBC was addressed and defined to mean TWO U.S. citizen parents AND birth within U.S. jurisdiction/on U.S. soil (Minor v. Happersett, 1874)? What are your views on that case?
I admire Ted Cruz greatly and would love to see him as U.S. Attorney General in the next administration, regardless of who wins, and then eventually I would like to see him on the Supreme Court. As a presidential candidate however, I am not convinced he is an NBC as the founding fathers may have intended. I understand you are an attorney by profession so I am very interested in your responses to my questions. Thanks!
Read this: http://hotair.com/archives/2015/03/23/cue-the-cruz-birthers-again/
BTW – Minor v. Happersett does not say what the birthers claim it says, and what it does say is merely dicta.
So what does the case “say”? I am not a lawyer. I don’t consider myself a birther, just going by what I was taught in school many decades ago and by what seems to make sense given the responsibilities of the office. I don’t know what dicta is but I thought their reference to the NBC definition was in the context of their thinking on the case at hand and a likely interpretation of the Constitutional language. I will check out the site you provided. It is your position on the issue and speaks to all my questions?
IANAL either, but I was also taught throughout school that “natural born” was being born in America to two citizen parents. They taught it every year, so it’s not just some new crazy idea. The idea, of course, was to prevent people becoming president who had loyalties to another country. I personally like that idea and think it makes sense.
If Cruz is eligible, not being born (or raised?) here and his only claim being that his mom was an American citizen (living in Canada) when he was born, then by the same token his mother could have had moved to Iran or Iraq and married a crazy middle eastern leader, and *that* kid would be natural born and eligible to be president. I think that’s exactly what the framers wanted to avoid.
I don’t think the Supreme Court will ever address the general “natural born” issue, though.
Penultimate para: Are you saying there is a statute or case decision that defines NBC? If so, can you send me the reference? Thanks.
Another good rant from Judge Jeannine.

http://legalinsurrection.com/2015/03/steel-cage-match-scott-walker-v-ted-cruz-reader-poll/
My opinion – Scott Walker has proven that he can take on the unions and survive a recall plus 2 gubernatorial races. Susanna Martinez would make a good VP candidate and could bring in the hispanic votes.
As much as I like Ted Cruz and his command of issues, he would be better off in the Senate herding the RINOs into legislation that works for the US.
Jeb Bush – gag me with a spoon, he would be just like his brother. Regretfully voted for Al Gore who has turned out to be a bigger loser than Dubya. So tired of having to choose between 2 losers.
Scott Walker is my first choice as well, but by Ted declaring early, is really smart, a great debater, and can go on all these network shows and tell everyone why Obama and the Iran deal isn’t good, might get through to the Independents.
He was on ‘Morning Joe’ last week. Today, Mika said that she doesn’t agree with him on anything, but that he’s smart.
On the show today, Donny Deutsch used the word vomit in the same sentence with Ted Cruz.
What Jerry Brown said yesterday, and Donny said today, I’m seeing some over-the-top rhetoric.
I really like Susanna Martinez!!! She would make a great VP, and wouldn’t that put the Dem’s britches in a bundle !
I will not vote for Jeb Bush if my life depended on it.
If he is able to buy/steal/cheat his way to the GOP nomination, I will vote 3rd party.
I’ll never vote Dem again in my lifetime.
Same here Angie. 🙂
agree
Me too.
I wouldn’t even vote for a Democratic dog catcher!!!
they would catch the dog, kill the dog and give it to backtrack to have for dinner
Apparently growing up in Indonesia with a step-father
___________________________———–
That would be Father, Lolo Sorento adopted him, 🙂
Lolo Soetoro. How much you want to bet that Obama used to have an Indonesian passport?
Many people think that is how he took his summer trip to Pakistan, by using an Indonesian passport.
Absolutely, why would Soetoro adopt him, and not be certain he had dual citizenship. Now I am wondering if adoption gives you the same rights as natural parenthood.
Yes. When you adopt a child the real parents’ parental rights are terminated and a new birth certificate is issued.
Maybe that’s why, when Abercrombie was elected Gov. he said he was going to settle the matter once and for all, and instead, caused more question.
This is what Abercrombie said:
Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who took office in December, told Honolulu`s Star-Advertiser on Tuesday that `our investigation` indicates there is a recording of his birth.
Don’t you find that statement odd? Oh, and Abercrombie lost his reelection.

I think Obama got in trouble with both the left and right when it comes to Rev. Warren.
Remember Warren’s abortion question? and Obama’s answer?
“Asked at what point a baby gets “human rights,” Obama, who strongly supports abortion rights, said: “… whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity … is above my pay grade.”
And the media goes cray cray over the Walker answer on evolution. yea
The unions are going to mash their teeth and throw some big tantrums over this ruling. They’ll either occupy the Capital again or run away to Illinois to drown their sorrows.

Read about the Castro brothers of San Antonio. Even San Antonio is weirded out by them. San Antonio mayor is a figurehead as the city manager has all of the power because most of their mayors have been crooks.
My physician would like a copy of my health directive which my attorney drafted a few years ago. Since I dallied on dropping off a copy, her nurse sent me a letter requesting I fill out the Five Wishes Packet and return it to the office. As a healthy active 60+ year old who only takes vitamins I prefer to keep as much info as possible out of governmental paws. In the last few years I have received only travel immunizations and flu shots, no medical treatment – nurse checks vitals, doctor only talks to me and types on her laptop.
Would like people input/opinions on advanced directives.
They’re like life insurance – you hope you never need them but if you ever do you’ll be glad you did. Worst case scenario – your loved ones will be making the decisions for you without knowing what you would want.
If your family knows what your wishes are and they all agree to do what you’d like them to do, it’s not a big deal. If you haven’t told them, or or don’t think they’d carry out your wishes, or if you think they would not be able to agree, then you need to get what you want in writing. My mother-in-law knew my father-in-law would hold onto her for every last breath he could squeeze out of her so she had an advanced directive that included a DNR. He was afraid we’d let him go without enough of a fight so he had one saying he wanted the medical staff to do everything humanly possible. Neither of my parents had one, and they both passed peacefully with enough medical intervention, but not too much because we all wanted the same thing. Our son holds my medical proxy and our daughter holds her father’s. I won’t be left to linger if our son can help it, and Elliesdad could be in a hospital for months while our daughter grapples with the decision. But we’re each in the hands of the one who thinks most like we do. The government need not know what’s in your directive. Your doctor doesn’t need to know either until the time comes to use it, if it ever does. It might be helpful to let her know who holds your proxy, but that’s the extent of what you need to tell her.
