Ever Had a Look at Ted Cruz's Resume? It's BLOWING MINDS
Sen. Ted Cruz is finally beginning to surge in the polls because people are now understanding that of all 17 GOP candidates, Cruz is the most conservative – and his record proves as much.
Numbers don’t lie.
The Princeton and Harvard educated national debate team champion should
 will be one of only three men left standing this time next year when the Republican nomination is announced, and by then, it would be awesome to hear this man’s name as the frontrunner.

Has been my guy from day 1. Sent him an e-mail a few years back asking him to run and, of course, that is the reason he did so. :)

He is the closest we have to another Reagan. Not sure who I would like as VP yet.

I totally agree!
If we miss out on a President Cruz, we may well miss our only chance to get our country back on track.
