As far as most of the nation are concerned Cruz is hardly into view yet....they’re paying attention to “other things” more than the horses getting ready to line up to the gate for Republicans. Hillary’s what the Dems are expecting, so for most they simply aren’t watching.
Cruz isn’t going to hit the scene hard until the time of his choosing....not when the media wants to edge him out with their games, nor the Dems want to demand so. He’s going to play by his rules, his timing, his agenda and he’ll be fully and completely prepared for whatever they want to throw at him.
We know more because we are watching.
Excellent analysis in #39.
