If it's a matter of "which came first", Cruz loses that lottery, I'd think....but that's opinion. Someone's got to sort it out.
‘Someone’s got to sort it out.’
This really stinks because Cruz is a top notch candidate. But here’s some of the nitty-gritty about the ‘cage fight’ Mitch McConnell set up [noted above ....]
Cruz gets sympathy-support. Only 1/4 of republicans think he’s not qualified. If this becomes the single-issue of the primary, Cruz might well win the primary after both anti-establishment camps rip each other apart.
Then phase 2 — McConnell’s Senate refuses to back him. Up. Democrats ask, ‘Why not? See, you low-info voters! They don’t think Cruz is qualified. Maybe we were wrong about Obama’s qualification too. Goodness gracious. Professor Laurence Tribe is a super-genius. No wonder we always admired him so.”
Now Cruz has a drag on his support that has NOTHING to do with safe borders or ISIS invading the Free World.
