“What made Obama unique was that he was the ultimate charismatic politician - the most unknown stranger ever to achieve the presidency in the United States. No one knew who he was, he came out of nowhere, he had this incredible persona that floated him above the fray, destroyed Hillary, took over the Democratic Party and became president. This is truly unprecedented: A young unknown with no history, no paper trail, no well-known associates, self-created.” WellsMadeSelfStatesYoungPresidentUnitedPartyKnownUnited StatesAchievePoliticianPaperUniqueUltimateDemocraticIncrediblesStrangerDestroyedAssociatesPresidencyWell KnownTrailsDemocratic PartyPersonaUnprecedentedCharismaticFray Author:Charles Krauthammer

“Ted Cruz is a patriot. He believes in what he does.
