Actually, he could. Every time Cruz has been challenged by the media, he has been able to turn the attack to his own benefit -- using the situation to provide an articulate and effective defense of conservatism.
In fact, I would suggest this is why the media no longer attacks Cruz and, instead, tries to ignore him. It is because attacking him is a losing proposition for them!
Well, if you want to believe that Cruz has been attacked like Trump and has weathered the same level of storm, go ahead. I’m not sharing that belief.
I’m also not convinced that Cruz standing where he is in the polls is proof he has weathered much of anything.
You have seen the focus on Trump, the withering attacks, and reason this is because they are afraid of Cruz?
Well, okay. Thanks for the mention.
