Cruses biggest obstacle will be to get his message out WITHOUT the help of the biased media who are absolutely against him. His only chance will be to get on FOX news as often as he can or purchase ABC, CNN, MSN, etc. and fire all the liberals. He HAS the potential but gathering the support of conservatives via the media will be his challenge.
Fox News is not going to help out Cruz. You are correct in that the winning Republican candidate is the one that will understand he’s running against the MSM and not the Democrats. Makes no difference if he’s GOP-E or not, the winner will run against the media.
