Senator Cruz’s entry does bring about some very interesting questions.
Keep in mind that it was the Tea Parties in Texas that launched Cruz to political stardom. The political reality is that it takes train loads of money (cash, pesos, dollars, gold bullion and IOU’s) to run for President. Jeb Bush has already had Karl Rove swoop in and grab up the Northeast establishment cash (estimates are currently in excess of $100M) and I am pretty sure that former Governor Rick Perry has pilfered the coffers of much of the Texas oil money.
With other Tea Party favorites (Rand Paul, Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum) already splashing about in the “donation pool”, this does bring about a hard question. “Can the Texas Tornado raise enough to make a viable campaign happen“?
