Go get ’em, Ted

Posted on February 2, 2016 | Comments Off on Go get ’em, Ted

Somewhat surprising that Ted won Iowa, beating out the Trumper and Rubio both, but whether it will mean anything in the long run remains to be seen.

It wouldn’t be unusual for someone else, say Trump, to win New Hampshire and then a third GOP candidate to pull in South Carolina. Leaving Ted to muse over what happened to his Iowa triumph.

What might happen is a full-court press (basketball term) by the GOPe to undermine our Ted, whose conservatism must make even Trump look good to them—RINOs that they are.

Via Instapundit.

UPDATE:  The Trumper accuses our Ted of stealing the Iowa election. Of course he does. Losers always suspect cheating. How else could their brilliance be ignored?

MORE:  That was too easy. I predicted Trump might win New Hampshire and sure enough… The best our Ted can hope for is third after some guy from Ohio. These Yankees, sheesh.

The Left is already after him, even as his supporters prepare a super PAC to fuel his presidential bid.

I’m glad he seems to be running. But as much as I still like Ted “Abolish the IRS” Cruz, I do wish he’d back off on abortion and gay-marriage:

“…we should continue to defend life and…we should continue to defend traditional marriage.”

Oh, well, Ted’s doing what he thinks is best, I’m sure. Even as his closest Republican competitor Rand Paul sees it differently: “I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues…[We have] to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.”

Including some of us oldies who are tired of hearing about the opposition to social changes which can be restricted but aren’t going away and which opposition on can only work to elect more Leftists. Or so we think, anyhow.

Be that as it may, it’s going to fun to watch Ted (and Rand) run against Obamalot. It’s about time some one did.

UPDATE:  From PJMedia’s Roger L. Simon writing about Rand:

“Historically, the Republican Party has been just what the public thinks it is, largely a bunch of risk-averse white men who are totally clueless at public relations, even though they are on the right (correct) side of almost every issue.  Meanwhile, the liberal Democrats haven’t had a decent rational argument about anything for years, if they ever did. They ream young people, blacks and virtually every other ‘interest group’ that supports them with their policies and they still win most national elections.  What a disgraceful group of losers that makes the Republicans.”

Surely Ted (or Rand) can/will do better than another Romney or McCain.

“…it’s misleading to accuse Cruz of ignoring Obama and only going after Republicans.  He’s going after Republicans who have failed to fight Obama.

“When I read some of the attacks on Cruz, I wonder if at least some of the anger is the result of his tenacity.  I remember being told, when he was in the midst of his filibuster against Obamacare, that it was going to be damaging to the country and deadly to himself.  He would lose, and that would pretty much end his role as a potential party or national leader.

“He’s still standing, and he was proven right to go all out to try to stop Obamacare.”   —-Michael Ledeen at PJMedia.
