Before Cruz wins the general election he has to win the Republican nomination. And that will be the Armageddon between the Tea Party and the GOP establishment. If the Tea Party wins then the GOP will truly become a conservative party. If the establishment wins then the GOP becomes the Whig party of the 21st century.

If the other potential conservative candidates in the 2016 primaries quickly fold (instead of staying in as spoilers) it won’t be Armageddon, it will be the Mother of All Routs of the GOPe.

We’ll argue among ourselves during the primaries, as to which of the half dozen rep candidates is the most conservative. The sole romneylike candidate walks away with the nomination.

Expect some very dirty tactics from the GOPe to try and shut out Cruz from
any possibility of being the Candidate. They will fight Cruz harder than the RAT candidate.
