There are no sure things in politics and this is especially true with 20 month to go but Ted Cruz is off to an early start with strong tea party support. He is the most outspoken opponent of ACA with a strong stand on immigration. He is certainly the most independent of the GOP candidates which may play well with independents. Yet his position is firmly planted in mainstream of GOP voters on nearly all issues. He is a strong campaigner who has great appeal to Hispanics. Post election have confirmed that his belief that a strong GOP conservative is essential. Cruz despite what others believe can reach across party lines to disillusioned voters, He has a strong legal background and well versed in constitutional law and has a wife with an impressive resume'.

Liberals and RINO's will play him down but this is a guy with determination and moxie.

I welcome him to the mix because the more diverse the filed the better choices for us all.

Clearly his opening remarks touched on what is on voters minds. Do I believe he can accomplish all he imagines...no but he can run circles around Hillary
