[TheRealThing]

If conservatives refuse to buy into the mainstream media (including Fox), Democrats, and liberal Republicans' attempt to portray Cruz as a kook, then the nomination will be Cruz's to lose. Wherever Cruz campaigns and has an opportunity to speak directly to people, he moves to the top of the polls. The last thing in the world any of the other potential Republican candidates want to do is engage in a real debate with Ted Cruz. He is that good.

The Republican establishment will do everything that it can to ensure that other candidates do not have to engage in a real debate with Cruz. They will stage Twitter debates, Townhall meetings, and anything else that they can to protect Christie, Bush III, and other RINOs from undergoing a face to face comparison with Ted Cruz. That is the only shot that they have of keeping Cruz from being the 2016 nominee for president. In a fair contest, he will not lose.

I will never forget that moment in the second debate between Romney and Obama when, through the collaborative effort of the liberal media and the Obama campaign, Romney was taken completely off his stride. Candace Crowley had foreknowledge as did every other democratic supporter, that Barack was vulnerable on the issue of Benghazi and the video. But the left was not about to allow the president to fall on his face in yet another debate with Romney. Candace was prepared to rush to Obama's rescue when the issue of Benghazi came up as she so famously did. Here is an assessment of the aftermath of the second debate; ARTICLE EXCERPT--- "We're done with the second presidential debate, but it was apparent 45 minutes in, that between the questions Crowley chose and her handling of who was allowed to speak and when, that this debate was a total and complete setup to rehabilitate Barack Obama." END EXCERPT--- http:// http://www.breitbart.com/Big-J...fact-check

I have been in that kind of situation, and I can tell you first hand. The 'set up' is a devastatingly effective tool in the hand of those without conscience. Lawyers do it all the time because when used in the right way, it's success rate is nearly 100%. That surprise blow of betrayal is the punch that devastates, and always makes a presenter appear to struggle to regain his footing and is very hard to overcome. To avoid the effectiveness of the tactic, one must anticipate it's arrival in a state of expectation, sort of viewing it as it were a welcomed challenge. Romney is an eloquent speaker and a great man who commands awe in any gathering. The Al Smith Dinner comes to mind as example, when Romney ripped one liner after one liner. Considering Obama has chosen to keep funding PBS and deny death benefits to grieving war widows I thought I'd put up this one, “In the spirit of sesame Street, the president’s remarks tonight are brought to you by the letter O and the number $16 trillion.” LOL, now that was funny.

Saying all that, in remembrance of the pre election expectations for new lows in dirty political campaigns, which were in fact realized all too vividly during the last campaign and, they are coming again. So, I hope Ted will be ready because by comparison as was so painfully demonstrated in the second debate, a truly great man of renown normally comfortable while in front of any conceivable audience, was taken down by simple deceit. When in front of millions, it is a hard thing to recover from a misstep once finally presented with the opportunity to shoot your big gun. He was all-in and preparing to substantiate his charge when Crowley received her cue to make her supportive remarks for the president. It is a mistake is to ever give the benefit of doubt where lieberals are concerned. They can and will do whatever they have to, in order to win. Obama had no record to run on, and no successes to tout. All he had was a mountain of mud to sling and, even that was imported. And, if anybody thinks Bill and Hill must in any way take a back seat to the present administration when it comes to a full bag of lawyerly tricks, they need to consider her performance on the Hill regarding her involvement in Benghazi.

Even now, after all the crying and dying, they still cite the video with regularity. My concern is whether or not the contest is fair. IMO, the last one wasn't.
