Everyone fears that by essentially grabbing the vote of the strong church-going crowd and possibly a large fraction of Hispanic voters—not to mention that Cruz will make one Hillary Clinton look really bad in the debates, he could literally reshape American politics like what Ronald Reagan did in 1980.
Politico is hardly an unbiased source of Republican news.
a bipartisan group of key activists
Last time I checked, BIPARTISAN meant Republicans AND Democrats. Of COURSE the Democrats wouldn’t like ANY Republican.
So - the idiotic and self-serving GOP/RNC would rather serve up LOSERS one after the other like Dole, McCain and Romney ... There has not been a ‘REAL’ Conservative Republican Candidate since Ronald Reagan (whom the GOP/RNC honchos HATED and tried to defeat ...
Now isn’t that sweet? /s
Politico exists only to help the other side. Remember Fred Thompson and his run? Really, they are just trying to tear down Cruz. There may be some insiders who are on the other side who don’t like him, but I doubt that their “insiders” are an unbiased bunch and doubt they have many real GOP people in the group.
The electability argument was used to give us the designated losers McCain and Romney. They were supposed to be the most electable. Turns out they weren’t. Jebster will be deemed the most electable this time, he’s the designated loser the GOP wants to saddle us with.
The Uniparty does not want us to elect Ted Cruz.
I’ll write him in if necessary.
” reveals grave concerns about Cruz’s electability. And after eight years in the wilderness, most Republicans want a nominee who can win. “
Insiders want a Romney; they think conservatives are ignorant hicks.
They consistently forget Reagan; and at the time said he was too radical and unelectable.
“Insiders” is code word for the GOP establishment.
This is just one example among hundreds that could be given for the sense of judgment and predictive ability of said GOP insiders.
Gee ... that's a surprise.
TED CRUZ FOR PRESIDENT!!!
“insiders” - ie, GOPe. Establishment Elites who think they have a right to rule over the people. No thanks.
The insiders are the same mutts who gave us Dole, McCain and Romney. It’s time for the “outsiders” to prevail....and we will!
McCain was the guy who could win.
Romney was the guy who could win.
Frankly, I'd rather go down fighting with the guy who can't win than back another one of the insider's "winners".
Screw Politico’s blah blah blah Uniparty BS.
the insiders want Jeb - eff em
Cruz is not about insiders.
Politico misleading by parsing.
Cruz just needs to show some strength early on if the field is crowded.
Cruz doesn’t need to ‘win’ Iowa at all. He just needs to show some strength. Iowa’s GOP is lined up behind Walker. Paultards aren’t going to give up. Third place would be a strong showing for Cruz, and fourth might be OK too. Even a poor showing wouldn’t take him out. Far from it. As Iowa goes, so goes no one.
