I have to say, in ALL honesty, no one, but no one, mentions Cruz in chatting, and I give them every opportunity...and I'll bet my last bippy a goodly number of them don't even know who he is except his name is somewhat familiar to them.
And if you asked them where Cruz is from, or ask then what one word describes his ideology, or what present office he holds, etc. not one would know shiite from shinola.
I'd just LOVE to do Jesse Watter's "Man on the Street" interviews for one-half hour on the main street district of my Florida town regarding Cruz.
BTW, I live in Realville, Florida....and Cruz just doesn't have "it".

I hope this whole experience with Obama and the Clintons has the general populace waking up. . One hopes they're finally thinking, "Do we really want socialism for our kids and grandkids?"
