Why the Left fears Ted Cruz

[Danno 1,228]

The first time I heard Obama speak was at the 04 dem Convention, I remember saying at the time.... Why doesn't the Left run a guy who can speak like that?

THe Left is now afraid Cruz might be the next galvanizing leader on the right who can

1. Bring out his base

2. Convince a few from the middle, he offers more than Hillary.

Ted is not in the category of Obama prior to 08, but as a trained debater and as someone who has been before the Supreme court many times, he might be the

the man to next leader from the right who makes the case to the country that "We are not living up to our potential."

After nearly 6 years of Obama, this is a theme, nearly everyone feels, though they assign blame in different areas.

*Those who have no clue how elections are won don't post.

The Democrats fear Ted Cruz because his brand of political extremism may drive the Republican Party back toward the center, uniting behind the "anyone but Ted Cruz" candidate.

An interesting though, though I don't think it's possible when you look at the breakdown of the gop.

The LEft wins every time the GOP goes Middle

Reagan 2 x's

Bush 1 only milked one term off Reagans coat tails.

Dole lost. Centrist

Bush 2 won 2 x's Ran hard right

McCain Lost Centrist

Romney Lost. Centrist (who tried to fake Right)

I think it's safe to say the Middle is the GOP's death trap.

Reagan was an extreme right winger? I guess if you massage the facts to support your point of view you are always right. That does seem to be your MO Danno.

Again, if Reagen is your definition of right wing akin to Cruz and the teabaggers, then my point stands uncorrected. Sorry Danno, your logic sucks.

Dude looks like a walking advert for MSG consumption. Terrifying.

This is why your posting is so sub-par.

You make a claim which is manifestly silly, then you stick to it with out offering a single thing to give it any weight.

If you don't have time to post properly... why even start?

MAybe you have a point, let's hear how the Tea Party or Ted cruz are remarkably different than Reagan?

How so?

Your point is a silly one, I have pointed it out and yet you continue to maintain that Ted Cruze and Reagan would make great bed fellows. Reagan is turning in his grave.

In Danno's defence, you may have pointed it out, but you have yet to back it up.

That, I would like to see.
