That's ok, mine is too. Cruz or forget it.

You are a zealot for sure LOL
George needs to change his middle name to “Pretzel”.
Maybe labels have changed...
To me,
Jeb is a liberal Republican. Others fall into this category (several others).
Cruz is a Conservative Republican. Others fall into this category (not so many though).
Republican (it’s meaning) has changed considerably.
Democrat (has changed to Progressive).
Goldwater speech..

Only someone truly inspirational (like Cruz) can break up the Obama coalition and reshuffle the map enough to ensure a Republican victory. ANY candidate put forward by the Republicans that tries to play it safe with a 50+1 strategy is doomed to fail.
That may be true.
But the problem today is that the likes of McCain, McConnell and the party establishment have no ideology. They aren't liberal, they aren't conservative. They're conniving, self-serving, compliant...and ultimately corrupt.
Confronted by an intensely partisan and un-American Democrat party, they are being slowly co-opted and subsequently subsumed.
Will, having lived beside them in DC for so long, can't see this.
Today, however, there is no need to nominate Cruz in order to make the GOP conservative. Cruz sits in a Senate that has no Republicans akin to the liberals Goldwater served with — New York’s Jacob Javits, Massachusetts’ Edward Brooke, Illinois’ Charles Percy, New Jersey’s Clifford Case, California’s Thomas Kuchel.

Oops. Georgie needs to do his homework. He can start by typing the following into Google:
Mark Kirk wiki
I’m sure there are other examples. How about the Senate Majority Leader?
We will come.
If someone like George F. Will can’t see that Jeb Bush will LOSE simply because he’s a Bush — and I’m not saying that’s good or bad, simply that it’s true — then I question the rest of his analysis.
It’s funny to listen to the talkings heads draw all sorts of inferences about the inelectability of Conservatives based on Goldwater’s shellacking. Goldwater lost for one reason and one reason only: the assassination of JFK.
LBJ was going to slaughter whomever the GOP nominated no matter what.
George Will always supports the GOPe. No surprise here.
He is positively predictable and rarely adds anything new to a discussion.
Bush will not be POTUS. It isn’t just his name, it’s his progressive agenda.
What does the “F” stand for in “George F. Will”?
Because people like this ass have given in to the Marxists and refuse to make a case against the left,Cruz is making a case And I am with him,the middle my ass,ignorant MORONS is a better description,cowards,who don’t know what they believe.
So go ahead cater to the militant hordes,the country has another chance and with the mentality of the public and a communist media There is very little hope but it’s better to go down fighting than to surrender to this pathetic bunch of milk toast bow tie wearing pussies
Whenever I agree with anything that Will says, I go back and replay the sound bite to make sure that I heard him correctly.
He thinks he is so much smarter than every body else.
“When Jeb Bush, the most conservative governor of a large state since Ronald Reagan...”
LOL!
George Will has a future as a comedy writer.
Will is typical of the Beltway Blind. He goes all the way back to 1964 to find a candidate that supports his point, and ignores the success of Ronald Reagan a couple of decades later. Even more important, Will ignores the utter failures of Dole, McCain, and Romney, three candidates that meet his vision of “successful moderate”.
When Jeb Bush, the most conservative governor of a large state since Ronald Reagan (by some metrics — taxes, school choice — Bush was a more conservative governor than Reagan), is called a threat to conservatism, Republicans are with Alice in Wonderland.
Had no Idea that Will was such a RINO
