Ted Cruz, the junior senator from Texas, announced that he is seeking the Republican nomination for President of the United States. You may not like Ted Cruz. Well, get in line, there are lots of progressive Americans ahead of you with that sentiment, never mind Canadian Liberals and NDPers, some Red Tories, and the list goes on. Don’t dismiss him with a slight of hand, however. Instead, pay very close attention to what he stands for and how he presents himself before the media. He is the best semantic communicator in a generation, knows his political and economic history backwards and forwards and is wicked smart.
