Today's Ted Cruz speech

Ann Althouse regrets her comparison of Cruz's speech to John Lennon

. . . AND: I'm watching. And right at the beginning — at 1:38 — he says "Imagine a little girl, growing up in Wilmington, Delaware." Whoa! You had me at little girl, growing up in Wilmington, Delaware... I was a little girl, growing up in Wilmington, Delaware!ADDED: Let the record show, that at 4:58, I cried.AND: I'm sorry I led off with the joke on "Imagine." This is a truly powerful speech. Just brilliant.ALSO: Here's the full transcript. " . . .

 "I see that Think Progress has an article titled "Ted Cruz Just Laid Out The Most Anti-Woman Agenda Yet." I've listened to the whole speech and I can't imagine what it refers to. I've read the article at the link, and I really don't know. Seems to be that Cruz supports policies that, in the opinion of Think Progress, would not serve the interests of women."

Ted Cruz’s Liberty University speech leaves Media frazzled

The entire speech:

The fear [in 2008], as it is now with Cruz, is that throwing a man with such limited experience into the Oval Office would be a disaster.

. . . "If you want proof there is such a risk, they say look no further than than Barack Obama. One time community organizer and generally inexperienced dude, who has taken this country in generally awful directions in just about every way you can imagine.  But is that the result of inexperience?" .  . .  Yahoo News calls Cruz a rookie, however:

Prior to his election to the Senate, Cruz's career was centered on practicing law at the highest level. A graduate of Harvard Law School and clerk for Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist, Cruz led a Houston-based firm's Supreme Court practice, taught such litigation at the University of Texas and was charged with representing the state before the high court as its solicitor general. He also served in the George W. Bush administration, at both the Federal Trade Commission and as an associate deputy attorney general at the Justice Department.

Rep. Peter King Threatens to Jump Off a Bridge if Cruz Gets GOP Nomination
. . . “We need intelligent debate in the country. Ted Cruz may be an intelligent person, but he doesn’t carry out an intelligent debate,” King said. “He oversimplifies, he exaggerates and he basically led the Republican Party over the cliff in the fall of 2013. He has shown no qualifications, no legislation being passed, doesn’t provide leadership and he has no real experience. So, to me, he is just a guy with a big mouth and no results.” . . .

This coloring book features Ted Cruz fighting a giant snake named Obamacare

"Publisher Really Big Coloring Book released the Ted Cruz-themed coloring book Cruz to the Future in late 2013 — the publisher says it was the top-selling children's coloring book on Amazon for "about 20 weeks" — and an 8-page supplement, "Ted Saves America," in fall 2014. The image above, of Cruz celebrating his arrival in the White House by doing an Exorcist tribute, is from  the supplement. So is this image that we can only hope Cruz will replicate next, in which he saves America from giant mutant snakes."
