DEARBORN, Mich. -- It is here in the industrial Midwest, not in the South, where Ted Cruz's audacious theory of the 2016 race was supposed to be put to one of its most important tests.

Michigan's primary on Tuesday -- and especially what happens that day in the Detroit suburbs that in 1980 were ground zero for a new political species, "Reagan Democrats" -- will answer this question:

Can Cruz locate and motivate legions of recently nonvoting conservatives, millions of them nationwide, especially whites without college experience, who can be pulled back into voting in numbers sufficient to determine the election in November?

But the best-laid plans of mice and men and even senators often go awry, and one problem with Cruz's plan is that it was formulated in olden days, in the world B.D.T. -- Before Donald Trump.

He, too, is courting this cohort of the disaffected, whose grievances about politicians certainly cannot this year include being ignored by them. But although Trump may bestride the political scene mastodon, Patrick Colbeck and Wendy Day are undaunted....

Cruz can win if Marcos and Donald keep talking about who has the bigger member.

I expect a show and tell on MSNBC on Morning Joe.

george will is seeing a night mare unfold before his eyes. This is now a two man race and one of them is not eligible under the constitution?

Cruz is the true conservative in the race, no matter how hard you spin the facts.

"This is now a two man race and one of them is not eligible under the constitution?"

Failed challenges in state after state seem to contradict your point of view...yet you persist. Interesting.

True enough. I’ve seen some questionable viewpoints expressed by many with the born-on date in ‘98. It sometimes makes me wonder if that function has been hacked. They are always people that I don’t recognize yet are supposedly long time members. :{)

Don’t worry they will disqualify your boy, and the Establishment rats will put in Mitt Romney. Of course Mitt will select Jeb as his VP.

Congratulations!!

I find Will very hard to look at and listen to. He always has a look like he just smelled cow$hit,and always sounds condescending,and like he is superior to the peons in every way.

It won’t be the democrats who knock Cruz out because he’s not eligible. The gopE will come up with something about him not being eligible is too big of a chance to take.

Cruz has made a deal with the devil. And the devil always gets his due.
