You kind of miss the point about "going after" Cruz. As with Trump, it doesn't matter if there is nothing "there." Trump keeps stating things that are true, maybe a little bombastically, but they are true ("Muslims celebrating," for example). The media goes nuts.

Three months ago you couldn't buy a positive Cruz story, but do you remember all the fawning stuff about Fiorina? Then, when she faded, there began to appear all these stories about "Carson surging." But once they had him "surged," they killed him off.

We know Ted is a great conservative, a stand-up guy, and intellectually by far the best guy in the race. That said, I don't think he can effect change in DC because he is a politician and still thinks like a pol. But I'd love to see him as Veep or better yet as Chief Justice nominated by Trump. (I do believe they have a deal).

But, that said, how would the drive bys attack him? As a "crazy, far-right ideologue" who would "shut down the government," a "lone-wolf" with "no friends in the Senate," who is the Senate equivalent of a Pat Robertson.

All that said, if it was Ted, I'd give to him, work for him, and I do expect he would beat Hillary. Then the trouble starts . . . .

Cruz is indeed a politician and many will hold that against him and treat him with disdain, like much of Congress.

The difference I see with Cruz is that he has promised to restore the Constitution in all matters of governance, and after 0bama, that's exactly what's badly needed.

But, don't get me wrong, if Trump is our candidate, I will get right behind and support him.

But I stand with Cruz.
