What we have here is a Trump presidency.

Ted Cruz does not own the media. He has some very good ideas and can articulate them very well, but to get his message out as a presidential candidate, he would have to pay for virtually every minute of his coverage.
This is true because the only possible way the media can get Hillary Clinton elected is to give Cruz the same treatment they gave Mitt Romney in 2012; and they will.
All the excitement about finally taking back the White House fades away with a candidate that can’t defeat “the treatment†the media always gives Republican candidates. Cruz can’t.
When Romney talked about how 47% of voters would never vote for him: the media savaged him and never gave him a chance to explain what he meant. They used it to inflame the “offended†to increase their turnout.
Recall Romney’s “Women Book,†an honest attempt to give women a fair chance to be hired. Romney was savaged over it and never given a fair chance to explain it. The media didn’t have to and didn’t want to; so they ignored his explanation. They owned Romney; he got only the coverage they deigned to give him. They will do the...

Evangelicals turned away in large numbers from Romney, not so for Ted Cruz... Better look again and re write this article.
We need to nominate him and find out.
What we have here is a Trump presidency.
Cruz doesn’t have to worry. He won’t be the nominee.
Yup. I’m even less likely to vote for Trump than I was for Romney.
They would take his money and give him packpage coverage.
The media IS the rat party. The DNC is the political wing of the Media.
Any candidate that does not know how to do the ju jitsu with the media will ultimately be buried.
Yup!
This is what I warn the Cruz supporters about.
The media was easily able to ignore Cruz for weeks and months.
He does not have the ability to control the narrative. He is at their mercy, and they will treat him like they did Bob Dole. There arent enough conservative blogs out there to counteract the massive media machine that will cover, and cover for, Hillary 24/7.
And unless Cruz can raise 2 billion and just buy tons of advertising (which he likely wont), then he will have to end up taking matching funds (dont think the media wont have a field day with the irony of that), and he will be restricted from then until Nov.
The only person that has shown an ability to skunk these people CONSISTENTLY is Trump.
Ted didn’t write Romney-care.
Ted won’t have to fight anti-Mormonism.
Ted is a true Conservative.
The “establishment” has been telling conservatives to take it or leave it for decades.
Its OUR turn now!
Pass the bread, the baloney just went by.
50% of the electorate doesn’t even know who Cruz is....... he will get close to ZERO black vote, and very little women vote..... my wife says he has “Fiorina Face” and “little man syndrome”
An even bigger factor is the media has far less credibility than they had four years ago. Cruz isn’t afraid to call them out on it; Mittens was.
Same here.
Cruz would never take a fall in a debate with Hillary. Romney just dropped his gloves and took a dive. Just like on "Diggstown".
Anyone voting based on the ‘look’ of a candidate should not be voting the first place...
Hillary appreciates your support. Got your bumper sticker yet?
but they do......
Cruz can’t win. The “mad as hell” voters would stay at home if Trump is denied the nomination.
