Texas Senator Ted Cruz can articulate his conservatism.
Cruz beat a powerful sitting Lt. Gov. (more powerful than the gov) who was heavily backed with connections and money from the same party.
But Senator Cruz WON because he has what they couldn’t buy, HE CAN ARTICULATE and reach people!!
THAT is the difference.
Period.
So if he were Ted Schmidt he still would have won? It’s the articulating his conservatism that did it?
