According to Robert Costa of National Review magazine, Texas Senator Ted Cruz is considering a run for President in 2016. He will make Hilary Clinton wish she was Secretary of State the day after the Benghazi attack on our diplomatic mission. From the National Review article:
Behind the scenes, there is a palpable fear on the right that the GOP will nominate a moderate Republican in 2016. There’s also growing unease with the field of likely contenders.
Enter Cruz. His supporters argue that he’d be a Barry Goldwater type — a nominee who would rattle the Republican establishment and reconnect the party with its base – but with better electoral results.......“Conservatives think he’s a rock star. I hear about him from everybody.”......
That ideological purity and Cruz’s presidential maneuvers make aides close to other Republican contenders nervous. The backroom Republican consensus is that a Cruz insurgency would hardly be a quixotic publicity stunt. He’d outflank almost all of the other candidates on the right, and his debating skills, which once won him national awards, would be formidable. It doesn’t hurt that much of the media already hates him with a passion.

Count me in! This is exciting!
I hear the bugle calling! I "marched" with Goldwater in 1964 as a high school student. We didn't take the hill but one of our fellow "band of brothers" did when Reagan won in 1980. I think there is time for one more "charge" in this old soldier of the Conservative cause.
