Anything coming from Kristol's Standard Weakling is automatically suspect.

Agreed, and if Kristol is pumping this story, then it tells me the GOPe is eyeing Cruz as their candidate.

But why would Kristol and friends would want that?   The last few weeks the GOPe has been telegraphing us that Cruz doesn't get along with anybody in Congress.

Ah, but you know that Rubio and Jeb are not gonna make it, they want to latch onto Cruz.

Is the GOPe the "anybody but Trump" party?

What do ya think? How you Cruz supporters, could this true?

But why would Kristol and friends would want that?

Because they don't mind losing. They're in the snark industry, not real industry. Easier to be snarky when your team's not up to bat. They're also well-insulated from the effects of bad governance, or even benefit from it.
