That is exactly what I was thinking. There are "true believers" who vested their entire identity in a symbol. I don't think any amount of logic will change that.

Many of most boisterous are from Texas and cannot understand why the rest of the Republic would question their Senator. They forget and we have a saying in the Utica and Marcellus fields as a reminder. TAFT!

Good one, but sadly, far too many FR posters are now not only political naifs, they don’t know ANY American political history at all.

It will be very interesting to observe the content and tone of Glenn Beck’s and Mark Levin’s diatribes over the next week. Both have so linked themselves to Cruz that if there is any truth to these stories, they will jump in lifeboats and paddle furiously away from the wreck to save themselves and their very profitable platforms.
