8 Reasons Why Ted Cruz NEEDS To Run For President In 2016


#8. Can Birthers Grasp The Concept of Irony (Or Spell It?)
Cruz was born in Canada, but his father was from Cuba and his mother was from the United States. By law, Cruz is most certainly an American thanks to his mother’s status. However, it’s not at all clear that he’d be considered a “natural-born” American citizen, which is what the Constitution requires of any potential president. How beautiful would it be to file a legitimate lawsuit seeking and injunction to stop Cruz’s inclusion on the ballot because he wasn’t born in the United States. In other words, I cannot wait to utter the phrase, “Where’s the long-form birth certificate, Senator Cruz?”

#7. Sarah-Michele Bach-Palin
In both 2008 and 2012 we had candidates on the national stage that were the equivalent of a big ol’ double-bacon, quadruple patty cheeseburger with a side of gravy. Sarah Palin in 2008 and Michele Bachmann in 2012 represented the Tea Party perfectly. No clue about foreign policy, a sociopath’s cream dream of a domestic policy, and a massive dollop of bat shit crazy on top. By 2016 though, both Palin and Bachmann will be yesterday’s dumbasses, so a fresh dumbass will be needed. Enter: Ted Cruz.

#6. Hey, What’s the Worst That Could Happen By Electing a Right-Wing Ideologue from Texas?
If George W. Bush taught us anything, it’s that everything is bigger in Texas. Apparently that also applies to “lying about weapons of mass destruction,” “war mongering,” and “destroying our economy with idiotic tax breaks for the super rich.” Cruz could just be a continuation of our rich American tradition of electing right-wing morons from the Lonestar State.

#5. It’s the Quickest Way To End His Career in American Politics
Make no mistake, Cruz has no chance in Hell of winning. That’s not why we want him to run, obviously. We want him to run because nothing stops your upward trajectory quite like an embarrassing presidential campaign — and Teddy’s would most assuredly be that, embarrassing. It’s one thing to run a rhetoric-fueled Senate campaign playing to your most rabid of base voters, but it’s a wholly different thing running on a national stage. Under the harsh lights of reality, Cruz will look like the partisan hack extremist he is, and therefore even if he’s able to slink off and sit in his Senate seat for the rest of his life, his influence and power will be reduced to doing local radio shows for whatever right-wing media outlet will have him.

#4. Texas Could Be Purple By 2016
The fact of the matter is that the immigration population — you know; the group of people that Republicans have tried so hard for decades to alienate — they are helping to drive the Hispanic/Latino population numbers up, up, up in Texas. If Republicans think by then that they’ll have made that much an in-roads with the Latino voters, they’re crazy. You don’t reverse thirty or more years of animus with one bipartisan immigration bill. Not that he’d get it, but assuming Cruz took the nomination, he could conceivably lose Texas if the state’s party balance has tipped enough. And how great would it be to see a Texas Republican lose Texas?

#3. It’ll Be Another Tea Party Embarrassment
The Tea Party can’t win a big election, and everyone knows it. That’s because even within the Republican Party they are viewed as extreme obstructionists who have no real concept of how to govern. They are only interested in shrinking the size of government, no matter how much damage they do to millions and millions of people’s lives. Everyone not actually in The Tea Party can see right through them though, and by 2016 they’ll have had another couple years to impress on everyone just how unhealthy their political ideology is for growth and prosperity. Cruz will be chewed-up and discarded within a couple months of the primaries starting.

#2. It’ll Be Awesome Watching His Chickens Come Home To Roost
All Cruz has done since he’s come to Washington is to irritate everyone. Sure, he’s reveling in his role of agitator now, but how does he expect to to garner support from anyone who can help bridge the gap between far-right zealot and mainstream, moderate Republican? He’ll tell you right now in 2013 he doesn’t need to be a moderate, but as Mitt Romney found out in 2012, you can’t run for a couple years as an extremist and then stop and turn on a dime, not in the age of the Internet. Every idiotic and pedantic tirade Cruz makes, every stupid conspiracy theory he floats in the press and on the Senate floor or in committee hearings will become fodder for his opponents’ campaign ads. And don’t think his Republican rivals will be above hitting him with the extremist card either. It’ll be a glorious bloodbath.

#1. Watching Douchebags Fail and Flail Is The Best Part of American Politics
Okay, that’s not really true at all. The best thing about American politics is when it actually works. When we come together and get stuff done, that’s the awesome stuff right there. That being said, a good train wreck is always entertaining. Will Cruz tell everyone he can see Mexico from his backyard and therefore he’s an expert on foreign relations? Will he claim that being born in Canada exposed him to the evils of socialized medicine? Who knows? All we do know is that he will say some certifiably idiotic and untrue things, and we’ll be right there to cal him on it, every step of the way.

Did Ted Cruz Just Learn He Is a Canadian Citizen?



Canadian-born Ted Cruz is eligible to become the president of the United States. Born in Calgary to a mother who is a U.S. citizen, Cruz automatically became a "natural born Citizen," making him POTUS-eligible according to the vast majority of scholarly legal and historical opinion out there. Of course, we already know that the weight of such evidence isn't always enough to put such questions to rest. So, with that in mind, Cruz released his birth certificate to the Dallas Morning News on Sunday, a move aimed at quieting such concerns but one that may have unintentionally raised another one for the Tea Party favorite.

Cruz is also a Canadian citizen, according to the Canadian law experts the Morning News spoke with. Under the Citizenship Act of 1947, anyone born in Canada is automatically granted citizenship at birth unless their parent was a foreign diplomat. (Cruz's parents were not.) Or, more simply, as University of Montreal law professor France Houle put it: "If a child was born in the territory, he is Canadian, period."

There's nothing in the U.S. Constitution that bars anyone with dual citizenship from becoming president, but the simple fact that Cruz could claim a Canadian passport or vote in a parliamentary election is unlikely to sit well with those who were already doing their best to dub him "Canadian Ted." Still, there appears to be an easy fix if Cruz wants one: He can formally renounce his Canadian citizenship by filling out a four-page form and paying $100.

Whether Cruz will do that, however, remains to be seen. As of Sunday night, his office claimed to be unaware that the Texas Republican is technically still a Canadian citizen. "Senator Cruz became a U.S. citizen at birth, and he never had to go through a naturalization process after birth to become a U.S. citizen," spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told the Morning News. "To our knowledge, he never had Canadian citizenship, so there is nothing to renounce."

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2013/08/19/ted_cruz_canada_calgary_born_texas_republican_has_ dual_us_canadian_citizenship.html?wpisrc=newslette r_jcr:content

If Ted Cruz became a "natural-born Citizen" at birth because his mother was a U.S. citizen, then Barack Obama also became a "natural-born Citizen" at birth because his mother was a U.S. citizen. They can't have it both ways. If it doesn't matter where Cruz was born, then it doesn't matter where Obama was born. For years, they have harassed Obama with false claims that he had been born in Kenya. Now that we have clear evidence one of their boys actually WAS born elsewhere, suddenly it doesn't matter.

[Jacob1983]

I thought you had to be born on American soil whether it's one of the 50 states, a territory, an embassy/consulate, or a military base. Calgary is not any of those. Ted Cruz is shit out of luck. His mom being a native born American means nothing. That's his mom, not him. Nice try though.

[boutons_deux]

nobody can define what the FF meant by "natural-born", like that shitty grammer and comma in the second amendment.

He may also be a Cuban Citizen, as the Cuban Constitution states any person born to a Cuban Citizen abroad is automatically a Cuban Citizen. :lol

Honestly, the only reason the left hates him so much is because he is such a good public speaker.

For the life of me I can't understand why else they hate him so much. As far as I can tell he hasn't actually done anything.

[boutons_deux]

For Ted Cruz, crazy is a family business (http://www.salon.com/2013/08/21/there%e2%80%99s_no_cruz_control/)


http://media.salon.com/2013/08/ted_rafael_cruz-620x412.jpg

“Now is the best time we have to defund Obamacare,” Cruz told the crowd of 1,000. “We’re seeing bipartisan agreement that the wheels are coming off.”

The wheels came off the Heritage event, though, when Cruz’s father, minister Rafael Cruz, took the stage to close it out. When it comes to red meat and red-baiting, Ted is a piker compared to his Cuban refugee father, who talks of Castro’s tyranny but never mentions the fact that he supported the Cuban communist leader’s revolution against Batista. Again we heard Cruz Sr. warn that Barack Obama is leading us toward socialism. This time, though, he didn’t merely exaggerate, he outright lied, insisting “Sarah Palin was right” about death panels in Obamacare.

Cruz was oddly specific, as though he’d had a very vivid hallucination: There is a 16-member death panel, he told the rapt crowd, that “will be implemented next year.” Those “16 bureaucrats will decide” not only whether you get life saving treatment, but even knee surgery, Cruz warned the audience, farcically. Instead of a “knee operation,” maybe you’ll just get “a wheelchair” and pain medication instead. Cruz also predicted shortages of aspirin and a hike in staph infections under Obamacare, just like in his native Cuba (although many of Cuba’s medical shortages are due to the U.S. embargo.)

Essentially, according to Cruz, the death panel will tell many of us “Go home and die!”

And to think Republicans complained about Rep. Alan Grayson’s rhetoric (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/27726.html)back in the day.

The Cruz and Son roadshow would scare normal voters, but it seems ideal for a GOP primary. Even in Texas, Cruz is the state’s GOP voters’ top pick for a presidential nominee, above Gov. Rick Perry, who is hoping to ride off into the sunset away from the statehouse and toward another primary run. Not so fast, Governor. Cruz had a solid lead even before Perry reversed himself and asked for at least some Medicaid funding for Obamacare, making himself obviously a “squish.”

At what point might Cruz Sr. become a drawback for his son? Can you say “never?” In the important Tea Party primary within the GOP primary, he is leaving Marco Rubio and Rick Perry in the dust, and is neck and neck with Rand Paul nationally. (That’s why Cruz allies are accusing Paul allies (http://www.mediaite.com/online/cruz-ally-accuses-rand-paul-team-of-pushing-birther-issue-in-iowa/) of pushing questions about Cruz’s eligibility to be president especially in Iowa, although the two men profess to be friends.)

It looks increasingly like Ted Cruz (and his father) dream of him as the 2016 nominee. But so do Democrats. :lol

Ted Cruz Sabotages The Republican Campaign to Defund and Stop Obamacare

By admitting on CNN’s State of the Union that he helps Texans sign up for Obamacare, Sen. Ted Cruz has sabotaged the GOP effort to defund the ACA with a government shutdown.


CANDY CROWLEY: Will you, or have you helped those people?

SEN. TED CRUZ: You know, we have not been getting significant calls in that regard. We have been getting significant calls from people saying please stop Obamacare. Please stop this train wreck.

CROWLEY: Would you help someone who called and said I wanted to sign up?

CRUZ: Look, we have a major constitutent services operation that helps anyone dealing with the government.

CROWLEY: That includes signing up for something that you don’t believe in?

CRUZ: Oh sure, sure. It’s the job of someone representing. You know, I’m honored to represent 26 million Texans, and dealing with the government is inherently frustrating, it’s inherently confusing and one of the things our office takes very seriously is trying to help Americans deal with the government.

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 500,000 young African-Americans (http://aspe.hhs.gov/health/reports/2012/YoungAdultsbyGroup/ib.shtml) and 913,000 Latinos have already benefited from Obamacare because they have been allowed to stay on their parents’ health care plans. Additionally, 6.8 million African-Americans (http://www.hhs.gov/healthcare/facts/factsheets/2012/04/aca-and-african-americans04122012a.html) and 10.8 million Latinos (http://www.hhs.gov/healthcare/facts/factsheets/2012/04/aca-and-latinos04102012a.html) will have opportunities to buy coverage through health care exchanges.

Canada-born U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has renounced his birth country’s citizenship, making good on his promise to do so from last summer.

Spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said the tea party favorite formally gave up his citizenship May 14 — and officially received confirmation of the action at his Houston home on Tuesday.


Cruz was born in Alberta, Canada, in 1970. The possible 2016 presidential candidate says the fact that his mother is American makes him eligible for the White House.


The story was first reported by the Dallas Morning News. The newspaper also broke that Cruz had dual Canadian-U.S. citizenship when he released his birth certificate in August.

CruzMissile is gonna run for Prez, drag the laughably unelectable Repug field even further to the unelectable nutcase extreme right.

tell it to Dave Brat

tell it to Dave Brat

Dave Brat won a republican primary in an off year election. Hardly comparable to a bid for POTUS

[Winehole23]

true, but it could be a mistake to write Cruz off this far in advance

[Winehole23]

the magnitude of the upset is impressive. incumbent Speakers of the House very rarely lose.

[Th'Pusher]

And no one saw it coming. How could this not even be on the radar of Cantor's camp?

Gerrymandering biting the GOP in the ass.

Cruz/Palin would be a sure winner.

[Wild Cobra]

so do you think this nation will be on Cruz Control?

[Th'Pusher]

If Cruz get the republican nomination, Wall Street and every moderate in this country fall in line behind Hillary.

What I'd love to see is Warren v Cruz. Not gonna happen.

Eric Cantor is not the Speaker of the House.

[Jacob1983]

Cruz can't be president. He wasn't born on American soil so he fucked. Case closed.

Nader should run again. Apparently he's trying to bring the far left and libertarians together through their joint hatred of corporatism.

libertarians are unadulterated frauds, just like VRWC-financed tea baggers. Their wet dreams of small govt and deregulation are also the wet dreams of corporatocracy.
