The thing is, Cruz is great and thankfully, he's no Goldwater, who did himself in and who was fighting against the ghost of an assassinated JFK. Neither of which Cruz will face.

All true. There's little danger of the voting public perceiving Cruz as Goldwater.

But the issue you've raised -- and it's an important one -- is how the GOP-e would react to his candidacy. They could still perceive him as Goldwater. They're dense enough. And scared enough.

In any event, the GOP-e are the biggest obstacle to a Cruz candidacy. The primaries will be tougher than the general.

Thanks and I agree. But the thing is, the vast majority of people get REALLY turned off by the "dynasty" thing and sol jebbie is really a big NO STARTER; no matter what the GOP-Eers want!

But if we all get out there and help Cruz win the primaries, in EVERY way that we can ( get started NOW...talking about him to friends, family, and strangers even and then give time, effort, and money ), then the general won't be nearly as difficult.......even IF the RNC/GOP-E work against him.
