Ted Cruz’s Time Is Coming to Lead a Resurgent Right
The Texas senator is a mature, formidable, and potent emerging force among nationalists and populists.

The road ahead for renewing democratic values and an open, transparent, and once again credible political system in the United States is becoming clear. That is the emergence of Senator Ted Cruz to eventually unify a resurgent nationalist Right.

In my 2015 book Cycles of Change, an overview of more than 200 years of U.S. political history, I predicted both the nationalist insurgency of Donald Trump in the Republican Party and the progressive shift unexpectedly spearheaded by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Democratic Party that transformed U.S. politics in the 2016 election cycle.

The “Big Lie” that Russia influenced or decided the shock outcome of the 2016 presidential election was, in reality, cooked up by defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton—a bungling loser of historic proportions—on the very same night she was still reeling from her rejection at the Javits Center in Brooklyn after the results were clear.

Since then, the old Republican and Democratic establishments alike have eagerly clung to the Big Lie because it offers them an excuse to deny and ignore what really happened: The American people for once rose up to express their ringing rejection of the ruinous policies of totally unregulated free trade, globalization, and ludicrous pretensions to world empire to which both parties have subjected them for the previous 70 years.

President Trump, however, however, was ruthlessly opposed, undermined, betrayed, slandered, and blocked on his honorable and responsible foreign policy and national security goals to restrain NATO, improve relations with Russia, and pull U.S. combat forces out of both Iraq and Afghanistan over these next four years and by the time of the next national election in 2024, he will be 78—as old as Joe Biden is now. Undoubtedly, the efforts to destroy and discredit Trump will continue unabated from now until then.

Cruz is the only man in America who stood up to the GOP Establishment at their 2016 Convention.

What is he selling?  What is he offering?  Why should I vote for him?

Instead of engaging in another ridiculous circular firing squad like last time I hope we can stay focused on the real objective here.

Look upthread, and you'll see you hope in vain.

Is Ted Cruz in favor of breaking up the media oligopolies?

Is Ted Cruz in favor of breaking up the technology oligopolies?

Is Ted Cruz in favor of the FTC and FCC have the cable companies offer a-la-carte program pricing in addition to bundle pricing?

Is Ted Cruz in favor of US supply chain security policies and legislation in Federal procument contracts?

Is Ted Cruz in favor of FTC, HHS, CDC, NIH, and VA policies which increases the number of domestic medication sources, increases domestic medication supplier competition, and reduces the overall cost of these medictions?

Is Ted Cruz in favor of making states competitively bid for Federal infrastructure funds to make states demonstrate positive public value proposition and efficient project implementation and oversight?

Is Ted Cruz in favor of legislation and Federal Energy Commission regulations which reward states with diverse domestic electricity generation sources and punish those states which import electricity from other states or Canada? (NIMBY-ism = more expensive and less secure electric grid)

Is Ted Cruz in favor of competitive bidding and supplier diversification for Medicare and VA prescription medications?

Is Ted Cruz going to use principles of competitive free market economics to make the US a more free, efficient, and competitive nation?

I agree with the article.

Well, actually that's up to every single voter to discern. It is important to look up his voting record or the voting record of anyone that you want to vote for.

I have been a Cruz supporter for many years and typically he does what he says he's going to do.  Don't take my word for it, or the word of various different news flashes. Ugly stories about him have been circulated; that's the way politicians rolls, especially the leftists. In Cruz's case, he's not exactly popular among the establishment and he out and out called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor (video is priceless). Voting records speak volumes.   Also bills that one has proposed or supported; regardless if they passed or not, what is more important is the mindset of what they proposed or supported.

IMHO if people would have looked up Bammy's voting record, he would have never made it.

Yes, it becomes problematic when they are new and don't really have a voting record, they you have to dig deep and do research. You can find lots of information, but digging deeper and backtracking news stories against what is current proves sometimes to be very interesting.

I am not implying that you don't  do any research, etc., but merely, answering your questions.

[DefiantMassRINO]

If any Republican has any ideas how to apply competitive free market principles to lower the cost of Government and to make America efficient and competitive, I'd like to hear them?

Telling me that Ted Cruz is great does nothing to convince me he is the person I want to vote for in the next primary.

I am tired of watching the decades pass and nothing substantially improving for working Americans.

[libertybele]

Cruz needs to make good on his "Imagine" speech.  He needs to lead the 75,000,000 that Trump spoke for and hopefully insert a new govt.  If anyone can do it, it's him.  However, the "Master of the Game" is Trump and hopefully they'll be helping each other to make this happen.

Say what you want about the two men and you can find all kinds of faults and flaws, but both of them have one agenda:  AMERICA FIRST!!!

Cruz is brilliant on the Constitution and law and Trump is brilliant on throwing mud right back at 'em and staying one step ahead.  He was excellent for the economy and American patriotism!

Yes, I believe these two are an unbeatable dynamic duo!!

I dunno, I'm doing ok... and I'm nothing special. Just checked by 401k, it looks good. House value looks good. Lots of technology opportunities for the future. And it's not like I'm a genius here.

Why is conservatism so utterly negative these days?

[DefiantMassRINO]

Globalism - offshoring of industries, jobs, and opportunities that also threaten our nation's supply chain security.

Corporate welfare (2008/2009)

If the GOP wanted to throw working Americans a bone, they'd lower the effective Federal Payroll tax rate (Fed Income + FICA + Medicare) for wage earners to be the same as the long-term capital gains tax rate.

American consumers and employers are also paying a surtax via non-competitive industries - pharmaceuticals, media, communications.

If the GOP truly wanted to help America, they would stop spending money they don't have.

I would love to a see a return to fiscal and monetary sanity, but the Bush 43 establishment GOP cast fiscal conservatives as RINOs when they were pushing through the Medicare Prescription Benefit (Part D) without requiring a competitive medication procurement process.

I'm doing fine personally as well. But when the other side says they want to erase you you'd be pretty naive not to take them seriously.

Word.  And right after that, those same E-ers killed off Social Security privatization.

[sneakypete]

Doesn't mean a thing. Cruz has one of the sharpest minds in politics,but no balls at all. He will talk a good game,kick things into gear,and then back away.

It's what he does.

@skeeter

NOT going to happen. The RINO Role in politics is to act as a spoiler. They get the alleged Republican "True Believers" all fired up,and then walk away at the last minute when it is too late for any other group to gain any traction.

Then they get together with the Dims in closed back rooms,and laugh,and laugh,and laugh!

[DefiantMassRINO]

I'm in the market for a Republican that wants to incorporate competitive free market principles to solutions.  Such a Republican could call me any name he/she/it/they/them/those want to.
