This is all part of the attempt to marginalize Cruz., and Paul, and Walker, and whoever is next to announce.
The media will slobber over Bush, or whomever they perceive as being beatable by the democRAT, then turn on them once the general election begins. Like they did with McCain. He was their favorite “maverick” until he was the nominee. Then poof.... the love affair ends.
We’ll see how it works out for Cruz. I like him, but I expect him to be marginalized pretty quickly. Once he’s been cast into the dustbin of history (in the mind of the media) they will then ignore him. He simply will not be able to gain any traction in the preferred narrative no matter what he does.
That is the way I see it, too. The R’s are going to get the treatment, but I don’t know yet if the media wants to see two overweights like Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton run.
Do you think so?
The R media (FOX) seem to be working the ropes for Jeb— at least Dana Perino. She seems to expect real people, who are first term senators and basically still outsiders, to be as slick and packaged, combed, groomed and perfected as Hillary, with her team of con artists to re-present her, and as Jeb Bush will likely be, with a machine full of handlers. I resent that.
I like Rand being quirky and willing to blast Hillary as he has now for months, giving her both barrels, EARLY.
And TED! My gosh, when he was talking turkey to Harwood, he was right on, and sounded like Lizzy Warren! This means he can get some crossover votes facing off against Obama economics. Warren just targets Wall Street, but even she has blasted Obama for continuing tax loop holes for the “billionaires”, while at the same time financially crushing kids trying to get a college education with debt to the government.
Republicans are waking up to the fact that Big Business and the Chamber of Commerce are out of hand with the devastating income gap. Cruz has it right and knows who’s to blame. Bark Obama.
There is now ZERO chance of that happening. Too late. Ted has too much name recognition now and far too much money to be ignored!
They can try to marginalize him all they want but Ted Cruz has plenty of money to go the long haul up to the wire and his support is very strong among his supporters, i.e. broken glass conservative voters.
Try as they may, things are NOT going to work out for the media hyping Jebbie, and things are not going to work out for the GOPe of them anointing Jebbie as the nominee.
