He isn’t ‘wrong’ (in his own mind).. he has just left the conservative brigade because he sees it winning sooner than he calculated, and threatening his calculus of social/racial evolution.

There is no explanation for this.. other than racial.

Unless he’s been telling me a story I’ve been lapping up for a long time....

Put another way, he sees his ox <and cows) about to be gored.

Remember when Arrienna Huffington was the toast of the conservative talking heads?

I wanted to say it was racial, but I can't in good conscience believe that. It seems more likely that he is convinced that the entrenched Republicans attacking Cruz without mercy for months now, are right in doing so. He sees Cruz as a junior Senator who is doing what he does for the sake of a audience in the same way that a exhibitionist does.

Like the Washington elite class of republican hang wringers, he is afraid for the country but unwilling to stand up and stop the madness by going against the grain and demanding accountability from Obama in exchange for budgetary and legislative cooperation that you would naturally give a president who had any respect for the opposition party, which does NOT apply to Obama.

It matters not what Sowell’s skin color is, I think in this case or in any of his writings. I believe what matters to him regarding Cruz is the so called “Calmity” that once actually did exist in Congress and he longs for something that will never be reinstated as long as Zero sits in the Oval Office.
