Ted Cruz: The Race To The Presidency

The political ideologies found in both the Texas Republican Party and Texas Democratic Party mirror those found on the national level. In summation, the Republican Party of Texas focuses on increasing economic freedoms while limiting those of a personal nature, while the Texas Democratic Party has a platform based on limiting economic freedom and increasing personal freedom. Because of this, both parties come to differing conclusions as to the role government should play in society. This divide emanates from the perceived origin of such laws, and the role man has to play in interpreting and shaping them.

The image on the front cover of the Texas Monthly magazine depicts a true image of Texas politics, the current governor of Texas Greg Abbott and media communication about politics. Since images speak for themselves, we get the idea of what the picture is about without guessing. For example, we see Governor Abbott holding a rifle, and presume that he supports gun rights and is a Republican rather than a Democrat. Since the majority of Republicans support gun rights for protection, whereas the majority of Democrats believe in gun control. We can also see that Governor Abbott poses a confident and poised demeanor which tells us he cares about Texas, he looks ready to accept any challenge, looks modest and has pride in himself, but not in an egotistic and domineering manner, and he also seems confident to be a leader.

Next, we will take a look at what Donald Trump promised to do – the wall, lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare to name a few – and evaluate if he managed to keep his election pledges. This success rate is a major factor in definitively assessing Trump’s influence on America.

Obviously, when a country has a multiple political party system for governing, there will be vast differences in political opinion and policy. The two major political parties in the United States are different in many aspects of their beliefs and underlying platforms. Most people think of the Democratic Party as being more liberal, whereas the Republican Party is seen as more conservative in their values and policies. This is not always the case and furthermore they do not always disagree. However, there are some differences which I feel the Republicans should adopt in order to gain more followers. The key policy reforms I feel are necessary to gain more followers are: health care law, government aid to the poor, and immigration.

Not every person is a politician, but it seems that anyone could see that Texas is in dire need of some help to tuen the current healthcare crisis around. It is unsure if Texas Legislature is too stubborn to admit defeat, or if they are so against Democrats and Obama to want to jump on the bandwagon. But the question to them is, are Texas residents too good to admit that they need assistance? Is the government to high and mighty to see below the income thresholds they live in to notice that there are people who fall under that realm? Are the residents of Texas not worthy of

Since the end of the American Civil War, Federalism has been a very important idea in the United States. Federalism has appeared in many instances within different governmental ideas. The original idea of Federalism gave up states’ rights and handed them to the government to create a more centralized federal system. Over time Federalism has had many views by different leaders in our government. These viewpoints began with Ronald Reagan’s idea of “New-Federalism,” and carried on throughout time involving the Violence Against Women Act and more recently the urge to modify the Affordable Care Act.

Society tends to disagree with Ayn Rand’s political views regarding the concept of how a government should be controlled. Despite people contradicting with her beliefs, some politicians recognize her perspective and utilize her logic in debates. Of the politicians that support Rand’s political views, most derive their logic from one of Rand’s widely known novels, Anthem. This particular dystopian novel emphasizes a collective society where the simple thinking of individual choice is prohibited. Rand Paul, a Kentucky senator of the republican party, was influenced by Anthem in such a way that he utilized this book in a debate he took part in back in 2007 which lasted until 2013. In the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing, both Ayn Rand and her novel were mentioned by Rand Paul, questioning many people and politicians whether it was appropriate to reference these subjects.

Rick Perry was elected governor of Texas in late 2000, when Governor George W. Bush resigned to become the president of the United States. Since I was allowed to choose one of ten governors from the modern era of the state government, I chose him for my essay because he has a great amount of integrity, he is a good man. Rick Perry was born on March 4, 1950. He is a wonderful man and he has been a great Texas Governor. But there is another reason that I selected him as my governor because from what I have read about him when he served as a governor of Texas from 2000-2015, there are some interested fact that caught my attention. Rick Perry’s actions as a governor has greatly impact the state of Texas. During his tenure, the state economies

January 20th 2017 marked the day that president elect Donald Trump took his oath to office. Perhaps one of the most controversial electoral processes in the history of the United States’ presidency, the possible implications of Donald Trump’s leadership will most likely make this one for the history books. His speech seemed surprisingly reasonable, astonishingly efficient, and very impactful in comparison to what many were expecting from him, because of the negative and possible detrimental image he has created in the minds of many Americans. Regardless, Donald Trump delivered a strong, decisive speech using unifying diction, well directed symbolism and varied syntax.

With Iowa and New Hampshire voting draw near, Florida Senator Marco Rubio is focusing his message on being the only candidate running who can relate to everyday people.

Mike Huckabee was the 44th Governor of Arkansas. He was governor from 1996 until 2007. He has gone down in Arkansas’s history as the longest serving governor. When Huckabee left office he left tax cuts, job creation, reconstruction of his state’s road system, K-16 education reform, and a health plan that took a less expensive approach than the government’s approach to healthcare. He has changed Arkansas it a positive way. Lindsey Graham started his career in politics in 1994 when he was elected as a representative. Graham was elected to the United States Senate in 2002, reelected in 2008, and in 2014. He generated the most votes in South Carolina for senate. In 2008’s election he generated over one million votes. Graham has experience with

Speaking as a non-presidential candidate, Perry called on all conservatives to stand by a candidate that wouldn’t divide the party. Without mentioning names, Perry renewed the rivalry against the Republican front-runner Donald Trump. During his brief run, Perry would tried to take on Trump, but that led to his poll numbers dropping, which ultimately led to Perry being the very first candidate to bow out the race earlier this month.

Governor Rick Perry became the first Texas Governor to be elected to three four-year terms. In his campaigns, Perry racked up money contributions adding up

In Trump Runs Free , Richard Lowry argues that the way the polls are currently going Donald Trump will only gain more support, and not be stopped. Lowry uses a sarcastic and almost annoyed tone when referring Trump winning in New Hampshire, and the people who support him. Lowry shares political strategies and refers to past elections to support his view. In his column Lowry appeals to an audience who also has similar conservative views and ideals, along with those who wish to put an end to Trumps reign; especially Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio supporters. Richard Lowry does an excellent job of portraying his opinion of Trumps recent success through the use of many analogies.
