In Texas, Cruz sounds like he's running in 2016

DALLAS — Firebrand Sen. Ted Cruz is sounding increasingly like he's made up his mind to run for president in 2016.

The tea party-backed Texan's rousing speech Saturday in Dallas energized thousands at the summit of Americans for Prosperity, the political arm of the billionaire Koch brothers.

Cruz said of the GOP — quote— "We're going to win in 2014 and 2016 is going to be even better."

His speech came a day after two other possible 2016 presidential candidates, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, gave spirited addresses.

is he wanting to run for president in the United States of America?

As a Bircher, he should be running for president of a country with communism in place, like China. Then he could work to take down Pinkieism. Maybe Putin could appointment him somewhere; Teddy's family has taught him that it is a good thing to go through citizenships at a rapid pace. Believe he said he wanted to sit on a throne in the middle of Italy, too. Ted Cruz is a clown, in my opinion.
