This ass is so running for president:
Possible presidential hopeful Ted Cruz is auditioning at one of the nation's largest meetings of young evangelicals, a critical voting bloc for any Republican with White House ambitions.Sounds like you've got a great line-up of potential candidates for 2016, GOP!
The Texas senator and tea party favorite was to speak Wednesday before the student body of Liberty University, the Virginia school founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell. These sessions, which feature remarks from a campus visitor, prayer and music, are favorite stops for potential White House contenders honing their message and trying to build buzz among voters with great sway over who will be chosen as the GOP's next presidential nominee.
... Last month Cruz told an influential group of home-school advocates in Iowa that the United States was founded on Christian values. He also told a separate group of anti-abortion rights activists in Washington that they should not compromise on their beliefs.
In coming weeks, Cruz plans to speak to a "Freedom Summit" in New Hampshire, the early voting state, along with potential rivals Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and perennial potential contender Donald Trump are also slated to be on hand.
The thing I like most about this slate of wannabes is how much they all hate each other. That will make for some amazing primary debates. I'm stocking up on popcorn now.
