I really really tried to conjure up an appropriate reply here...only to reluctantly come to the conclusion that the writer is most probably correct.
Oh well, I’ve given up on the GOP anyway, but this still hurts.
Ted Cruz is the reply, the Constitution is the reason, and God is the answer.
The GOPe has taken itself out of the question.

I’m of the same opinion. The path to a conservative victory is to coalesce around the best conservative candidate *early*. I’ll go with most anyone that is more conservative than Bush. I have my preference, but if we unify around someone else, I’ll go with it. I’m bloody desperate!
But we won’t. Worse yet, we know full well we won’t. It must be some sort of diagnosable compulsion...
Even here on FR, we’ll squabble, bicker, claim this one is more conservative than that one, and after it’s all over and done we will *then* (once it’s too late) realize most any of the more conservative candidates would have been far better than what we end up with.
So, as usual, We will form our circular firing squad and dismiss acceptably conservative candidates - not because we *can’t* agree, but because we *won’t* allow ourselves to agree. And it requires no outside (GOPe-Rino/HuffPo/Liberal-conspiracy) interference. We will do it ourselves.
Just dammit.
