Very nice. I would be surprised if Cruz runs.

Very nice. I would be surprised if Cruz runs.

Why? He's visiting Iowa, NH etc and thinks a lot of himself. He is definitely running for something

Senate Majority Leader.

In another world maybe

Maybe helping to lay the groundwork for his friend, Rand?

It would be a mistake for the small government/liberty/tea party/whatever you want to call it movement for both he and Rand to compete in the Primary. It would completely split the liberty vote. I imagine most of Cruz's support would go straight to Rand though which would be absolutely huge.

I still think his plan is to help Rand win. And it could be that his way of doing that is by running and then dropping out. Don't know.

[IndianaPolitico]

Senate Majority Leader.

Dream News Article: "President Paul, Senate Majority Leader Cruz, and Speaker Labrador have announced a plan to eliminate the national debt...."

His plan is to promote himself...... why on earth visit Iowa, NH if not running. The guy is a snake

Based on what exactly?

I could easily see him doing that. Let speculation run rampant for a while (it already is in many ways) and then endorsing Rand at a key time.

Because the state party invited him along with other state groups. The media built him up as an insurgent tea-party candidate and then he won. He unlike most, has made a name for himself by standing on principle and bucking his party. That has given him major grassroots credentials.

[helenpaul]

smart voters in AZ. rubio at 4%

[RandallFan]

His plan is to promote himself...... why on earth visit Iowa, NH if not running. The guy is a snake

Because he is friends with Steve King and probably Grassley to a degree. Kelly Ayotte doesn't speak for Conervatives or for NH so they have to fly in representatives to have their concerns heard. I think it is a way to troll Kelly Ayotte and her low approval ratings.

There are no conservatives elected statewide in New England except LePage.

It is about establishing mailing lists and raising money.

McCain and Flake have low approval.

Conspiracy theorists would say that's the plan...split the vote.
