You don't see articles like this about Chris Christie, Marco Rubio or John Ellis Bush.

Yes Leftists, Fear Ted Cruz.

[ichabod1]

Cruz has successfully gained the conservative high ground, though there are doubts about him.The question is, can he get the votes? The Presidency is for the one who reaches out and TAKES it, not the one who would logically be best.

[Brilliant]

I have to agree with the writer. Cruz is the biggest threat to a Hillary Presidency.

I thought the world ended when Reagan became President and started World War III.

[2ndDivisionVet]

He reportedly has the best ground game & organization in the early states and beyond. Right now his in-state volunteers, supplemented by over 500 out-of-state people, are knocking on doors in Iowa.

[Dr. Sivana]

Worst of all, he masterfully appeals to the social conservative and evangelic wing of the Republican Party.

Heaven forbid that anyone should actually try to (shudder) . . . appeal to such troglodytes!

[TigersEye]

It’s going to be one or the other, libtards. Make your peace!

I’m still trying to recover from the radiation burns.

Why is Trump a buffoon?

This is the standard attack that anyone who is on the right (even nominally like Trump) is an idiot or worse.

It grows tiring, that anyone the right is never given the benefit of the doubt like everyone on the left is. IFF you’re on the left, you’re super smart, uber capable, and on the correct side of history.

[Dr. Sivana]

I thought the world ended when Reagan became President and started World War III.

Do you mean because Reagan has been accused of trivializing the complexity of international relations into a zero-sum battle between good versus evil?

Well, the author watches "Game of Thrones". Maybe he has also seen "The Man in the High Castle", and we are in an alternative universe where Reagan didn't blow us up in World War III.

[Alas Babylon!]

I have to DISAGREE with the writer.

He hates Trump. He hates Cruz. Both for the same reasons.

Because the writer is a Leftist, without a single valid point except to say the Middle East is oh so complicated, as if Obama and Hillary have helped it in any way except to get more complicated and much more of a mess.

The Arab Spring has brought a new dark age with the democrats cheering on the Muslim Brotherhood and its goals of a world-wide Caliphate.

The writer believes Trump is a buffoon—you don’t make a multi-billion $ fortune being a buffoon. He also believes Cruz is a Machiavellian Simone LeGree bent on imposing his fundamentalist Christianity on the world.

Neither is true; both are Left wing fantasies about conservatives.

Just NOPE.

[TADSLOS]

I look forward to the Cruz-Trump tag team moment. The left and GOPe are going to go absolutely spasmodic.

[Dr. Sivana]

Why is Trump a buffoon?

Because the author cannot figure out that a man who has spent seven decades in America, among Americans, is not the one who is tone deaf, the effete, irreverent, contemptuous, first too be eaten by the revolutionary tiger once released, is.

[Macoozie]

“Whilst everyone insatiably fixes their attention on a man who could never be President,...”

Whilst? really?

Bwah ha ha ha ha !!!

Who is this maroon, Mr Darby?

[Beach333]

Count Dracula a muslim? Who knew?

[Grampa Dave]

Hard up for American writers, and you are posting a left wing Brit blog for news?

[Lagmeister]

"Cruz is banking on the slow decay of Trump's popularity....A master of PR, Cruz capitalizes on events, public moods... once they finally grow tired of the current front-runner."And so forth and so on.

I have to check twice to make sure I am not reading an old post. Is anybody actually seeing any of this?

[odawg]

A Leftist British publication would get their panties in a wad over Trump after they are used to seeing Cameron for so long.
