"....Matalin, who served as a top political advisor to both presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, said she believes the favorite to win the GOP presidential nomination is Sen. Ted Crus (R-Tex), whom she said appeals to conservatives of all stripes.
'My money right now is on Ted Cruz,' she said. 'Again, I'm unaligned, but I think he speaks to the myriad factions of conservatism: Constitutionalists, Libertarians, the social conservatives.'
'I think he's whip-smart, as evidenced by his debate appearances, and he's a true, true, true constitutionalist, and everything's lining up for him,' she added.
Matalin said the trio of outsider candidates in the field (Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and Donald Trump) have had a positive influence on the election by forcing other candidates out of their shells...."

And as soon as they hear it the Romney apologists that tanked Palin will then unleash their vitrol to throw another primary season so that a Rubio or Kaisch (or their unrequited love) can step in to save ‘conservatism’.
I agree.
Cruz is trustworthy. Mho
What a great picture! May I have your permission to borrow?
Correct that...steal?
Hank
Uh oh, the Wife of Lizard Head likes Cruz?
I hope that doesn’t damage his Campaign.
I just wish Cruz would come out strongly for bringing back American jobs.
That is very important, and thus far only Trump has taken a stand on it.
It is a very important issue.
Cruz is hosed. I have never heard this woman be right about anything.
Actually I suspect she DOESN’T like him. She’s just doing handicapping.
Hank
Nah, Cruz will be fine unless the toe-sucker predicts his success,
Nah, Cruz will be fine unless the toe-sucker predicts his success,
Yes.
The dialog has forever changed and the libs can't do a thing about it.
That was worth the donations I made to his campaign.
It's not always about winning an office for me. Sometimes, changing the dialog is what I really want.

matlin plays good cop-bad cop with ol’ snakeface. Cant stand either one.
Cruz is the ONLY electable candidate who can beat Hillary.
Couldn't agree more. The way I put it is this: if you "win" the office with a guy who doesn't do what you want or believe what you believe, what the hell have you actually "won?"
Hank
I think you're right for several reasons.
Cruz is so quick on his feet the media will have a hard time trying to get him to say something that will hurt him, or get the Rat voters fired up enough to come out.
Also, Cruz will get the 4 million plus voters who stayed home the last time to come out and support him.
Cruz is also clearly an anti DC/establishment candidate and the American People are fed up with the status quo.
Finally, by not attacking other candidates for the Pub nomination he has made it easier and more likely they will support him if, or when, their candidate drops out.
Yea well that sort of logical thinking is frowned on by a lot of people that post here. You can tell when the hard leftist comes flying out about ‘party unity’ and ‘lesser evil’ and ‘no matter what’, followed by everything up to and including conversations on open threads involving shooting “Every . One “ that refuses to comply with electing said leftist Reoublicans.
OTOH, she did predict a 2014 Republican victory in the Senate.
