You have to check out the comments on the website link. Morons. They have no clue as to his background - ethnically, the Canadian thing (non-issue), educationally (really impressive) or experience.

Cruz, to me, is a little like Gingrich. If you listen to Newt, he made perfect sense. But the press hated him so much, the low information folks never heard him. I fear this is what is happening to Cruz.

The guy is a genius and leader, but all the left (and establishment GOP) is saying is that he is the guy that shut the government down (like that is a bad thing). Notice, the same press corps (who were laid off) never really mentioned that all those poor federal workers ended up being paid in full (again) and a bunch even got unemployment payments (another story that died).

I hope he can break through the MSM filter. He is really terrific.

Bad analogy.

Gingrich hurt himself with his cheating on his wife and his dalliances with the Left's issues.

Better comparison/analogy would be to Reagan. Fidelity to conservative policies/principles and the Press hated him and did all they could to destroy him, and yet, because he was a fearless fighter and kept pressing his case and communicating conservative principles, he overcome.

Cruz will do the same.
