The Texas senator is a mature, formidable, and potent emerging force among nationalists and populists.
"The road ahead for renewing democratic values and an open, transparent, and once again credible political system in the United States is becoming clear. That is the emergence of Senator Ted Cruz to eventually unify a resurgent nationalist Right.
'In my 2015 book Cycles of Change, an overview of more than 200 years of U.S. political history, I predicted both the nationalist insurgency of Donald Trump in the Republican Party and the progressive shift unexpectedly spearheaded by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Democratic Party that transformed U.S. politics in the 2016 election cycle.
"The “Big Lie” that Russia influenced or decided the shock outcome of the 2016 presidential election was, in reality, cooked up by defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton—a bungling loser of historic proportions—on the very same night she was still reeling from her rejection at the Javits Center in Brooklyn after the results were clear.
"Since then, the old Republican and Democratic establishments alike have eagerly clung to the Big Lie because it offers them an excuse to deny and ignore what really happened: The American people for once rose up to express their ringing rejection of the ruinous policies of totally unregulated free trade, globalization, and ludicrous pretensions to world empire to which both parties have subjected them for the previous 70 years.
"President Trump, however, however, was ruthlessly opposed, undermined, betrayed, slandered, and blocked on his honorable and responsible foreign policy and national security goals to restrain NATO, improve relations with Russia, and pull U.S. combat forces out of both Iraq and Afghanistan over these next four years and by the time of the next national election in 2024, he will be 78—as old as Joe Biden is now. Undoubtedly, the efforts to destroy and discredit Trump will continue unabated from now until then." . . .
