The GOPe is trying to cut away solid Ted Cruz-supporters and “leaning” to Cruz supporters [voters and colleagues].
I have never seen Sen. Ted Cruz be anything but polite and inclusive. He just speaks the truth. He stands his ground. He makes others put up or shut up [except for those who hide their votes when they know which way the tally is going].
So, those who find conservatism and the truth to be offensive, can only see him as a thorn in THEIR side.
Fox News Channel is, of course, pushing Jeb Bush. They aired a report last night about his running for president and in his soundbite he said essentially that he doesn't care if people don't like his beliefs about amnesty and such. (He seemed to be attempting to be "tough" like Christie and "principled" like Rubio.)
Do those who make up the GOPe really think America wants another Bush in the White House?
Ted Cruz bump!
