Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is about to make his pitch to the American voter that he should be the next president of the United States. His first problem: The website bearing his name instead suggests we support Obama.
By all accounts, Cruz is working extremely hard to execute his campaign launch to perfection at Liberty University, the creationist school founded by Jerry Falwell. According to AP photos released early, Cruz has practiced every aspect of his “announcement,” down – oddly enough – to how to kiss his wife.
However, with all that preparation, his team may have overlooked an obvious problem: his all important web presence.
Should an inquiring mind attempt to seek out Cruz online, a natural place to start is to type in “TedCruz.com” and presumably land on a page run by the man himself. Instead, what visitors to the site will find is a simple one page website that encourages readers to “support President Obama.” And demands, “Immigration Reform Now!” Neither of which are likely things that Cruz himself would find very appealing.
In just one of many, many signs that Cruz is by no means ready for primetime, he seems to have overlooked TedCruz.com. It’s unclear who owns the domain (presumably the one person we can confidently cross off the list is Sen. Ted Cruz). This could pose a major problem for Cruz’s nascent campaign. In this age of tech-powered campaigns, knowing that most people will inadvertently land on a page that not only isn’t yours, but explicitly rebukes your ideas must give the campaign staff migraines.
Hats off to the anonymous hero who had the foresight to troll Ted Cruz back when running for president was just a twinkle in his eye. Your tireless efforts have paid off in dividends.
Update: And as if this weren’t enough, guess where “TedCruzforAmerica.com” goes? Healthcare.gov.Sen.

Legendary Fail: ‘TedCruz.com’ Just An Ad In Support Of Obama’s Immigration Reform
Ted Cruz's Father Suggested His Son Is 'Anointed' to Bring About 'End Time Transfer of Wealth'
In a 2012 sermon at an Irving, Texas, megachurch that helped elect Ted Cruz to the United States Senate, Cruz' father Rafael Cruz indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as "kings" to take control of all sectors of society, an agenda commonly referred to as the "Seven Mountains" mandate, and as this king, he will "bring the spoils of war to the priests", thus helping to bring about a prophesied "great transfer of wealth", from the "wicked" to righteous gentile believers.
Rafael Cruz' dominionist sermon given August 26, 2012, at the New Beginnings Church of pastor Larry Huch, in Irving, Texas shows explicitly the dominionist nature of pastor Cruz' sermon, which concerned the divine mandate for believers, with anointing of "kings" in their respective spheres, to take control over all sectors of society.
Cruz spoke of "Kings who are anointed to go to war, win the war, and bring the spoils of war to the priests."

I'm not going to say the Republicans can't win the 2016 election -- Only one time since FDR-Truman has a single party held the White House for more than 8 consecutive years (Reagan-Bush I, 12 yrs). And no matter what the polls say, Hillary, assuming she's the nominee, is not a slam dunk winner. But I don't think they can get there if they go *too* far right. I'm not sure which of the Republicans could appeal to the middle -- Rand Paul, maybe? Jeb Bush -- I can't see voters having that short of memory. Chris Christie -- lots of issues there and probably can't win the nomination. Rest of the field is likely too far right.
The only things that makes sense are:
1. He's hoping to push the party and eventual nominee further to the right.
2. He's such a publicity hound that he just wants his name in the headlines as much as possible.
Surely even an egomaniac like Cruz realizes that if by some miracle he were to win the GOP nomination, he would be obliterated in the general election. I don't think there's any way, even if the general electorate is fed up with 8 years of Obama, that a majority of voters would go for an ultra right wing nut job like Cruz.
I don't have a whole lot of faith in American voters, but I still have more than that.
I will allow though, that maybe a nut job right wing nominee like Cruz would long term be good for the GOP. Cruz could be their McGovern. He could teach the GOP that veering too far to the right is not a winning strategy and cause them to jettison their extreme right, much as McGovern's loss mostly ended the Dems' flirtation with the far left.
