Look, Rand is not going anywwhere, and the media knows it. They know Jeb is another estab loser - and even if somehow he won, he wouldn’t be damaging to their agenda.
They want no part of Cruz, or for that matter, probably either Pence or Walker either. They are lusting after a Rand/Jeb Bush fight. They want people to decide in their minds that’s what its going to be, period.
“Rand is not going anywwhere, and the media knows it”
No, that’s just wishful thinking on your part. Check the polls from 4 years ago and from 8 years ago. They were actually very accurate in predicting the outcome of the election.
Cruz will be a good VP. He is actually in hiding now because his media appearances were driving up his unfavorability ratings. His numbers don’t look very good right now.
