Blockbuster $1.5m book deal for Ted Cruz memoir

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON – Sen. Ted Cruz has inked a blockbuster $1.5 million book deal, agreeing to write a memoir about his brief tenure so far in Washington.

HarperCollins agreed to provide the advance after a four-day book auction last week, according to today’s Washington Examiner, a conservative news outlet. That puts Cruz, the tea party darling and Texas freshman, at the top of the list of potential GOP candidates penning books ahead of the 2016 presidential race.

And it’s the biggest book advance in years for a conservative, topping even the $1.25 million that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin secured after her 2008 run for vice president.

“The book, still untitled and unwritten, will be part memoir and part Cruz’s view of how to get Washington to work again as well as his vision of the future for the country. The 43-year-old has quite a story to tell, being the first Hispanic to serve as Texas solicitor general and as Texas’ senator,” Examiner columnist Paul Bedard reports today.

1. So is the book scheduled to come out in early October 2016? It will be the biggest

propaganda piece imaginable. A probable title could be about how he destroyed Americans.

2. Untitled and unwritten.

$1.5 million for a book his ghost writer hasn't even pondered yet.
