Another Sign Ted Cruz Is Running in 2016

[TexasTowelie]

We've all known for a while now that a presidential run was almost inevitably in Sen. Ted Cruz's near future. After all, it was hard to miss the signs -- the trips to Iowa, the habit of giving a speech or making a filibuster whenever anything that even smelled like an opportunity presented itself, fighting the Democrats, fighting his own GOP leadership -- even for those who tried to squeeze their eyes shut and hum and ignore them.

While Cruz hasn't actually made an announcement or even released a campaign book, he's been making eyes at the 2016 GOP presidential nomination since the freshman senator hit the floor of Congress in 2012. But now his office has given us the first clear indication that Cruz will actually run.

And what is the big indicator that Cruz intends to try and secure the GOP nod for 2016? The harbinger of Cruz campaigning to come has shown up in the form of a staff change.

No, really.

Catherine Frazier, the public face of Cruz's Washington D.C. office since Cruz landed as a freshman senator in Congress in 2013, is leaving the D.C. office by the end of this month, according to the Texas Tribune. But Frazier leaving isn't as interesting -- or frightening if you've been praying a Cruz presidential campaign would never happen -- as where she's going. The longtime Cruz spokeswoman (or at least "longtime" in the political world) isn't abandoning Cruz, she just leaving his senatorial office to come to Houston and join Cruz's Jobs, Growth and Freedom Political Action Committee. (His nascent campaign offices, basically.)

A decision to sign the letter to Iran. He is on of my senators and I would like to see him out of that position but never ever as president.

3. Said it before and I'll say it again.

I can't wait to see Cruz and Christie on the same stage for a debate. There is not a hall anywhere large enough to contain those two egos. It will be delicious to watch.
