2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumCruz / Rubio 2016
Let me put on my flame proof suit... OK. If anyone cares my favorite pizza is mushrooms and onions. That's the best pie in my opinion. Long time reader, don't post much because there is a pretty high purity test on this board. That being said, I think we underestimate Ted Cruz at our peril. The guy is well spoken and personally I feel he could give Hillary Clinton a problem in the debates.

(10,650 posts)His appeal is strictly to the fanatical base of the republican party. That won't win a national election. When he shut down the government for nothing, he lost any chance he might have had. Cruz is not a leader he's a rabble rouser.
Cruz would be the ideal republican candidate from a Democratic perspective.

where he will lead the republicans on a fast track to the bottom...
