She is an evil little self-obsessed shrew.

Well, I don’t know, they both do pretty well with me.

Are the Hispanic voters still falling for Obama’s BS about Michelle’s tamale obsession?

Ted Cruz is a constitutional conservative- he is all about ideology- that transcends gender, ethnicity and any other particularized group from the Chinese menu that creates and informs Rubin’s world view.

She has nothing to do with Neocons.

Ted Cruz is very much Neocon in much of his outlook.

As long as the appeal is limited to 50.1% of the votong people, I am OK.

there is a kernel of truth about the libertarian thing not being attractive to women. the ones I know want government to be there for them, to care for them and the lesser off. it is this weakness that kills us.
instead of getting support from family, like it used to be, a whole new class of people look to the government, including white women.
of course, FR women not included.

I think it is interesting that so many people, pundits especially, are so concerned about Cruz. Why mention his appeal or mention him if he was a WEAK candidate?

Thanks Jennifer for giving us great advice on how to LOSE AGAIN!!! These establishment idiots are just as bad as the liberals. With the liberals at least I know they’re devious to begin with, but these “conservative” establishment Republicans have lied to our faces for decades, and still they can’t see that the “big tent” moderation they believe in is a big loser electorally.

That $34 million in Cruz’s campaign pocket says otherwise.

Kernel? More like a giant bag of buttered popcorn.

No doubt Paul has a ceiling, but he’s also got a built in minimum of support that makes him a player early.

Rubin’s blinded by the Beltway. Cruz does not have an upper limit beyond just being a Republican.
