Don’t be looking at our myopic elites for strategic vision, I think the mid-terms had far more to do with that lunatic nurse and clueless pronouncements by the administration on Americans not being at risk for Ebola than Ted Cruz.
Cruz is definently a David against Goliath, but the thing about David is that he hit the right spot and brought down his foe. I’m not saying it’s fair, I’m not saying given a level playing field that Cruz couldn’t prevail, “fair” is not what this is about, it’s about being able to stack the odds in your favor using what you’ve got to work with.
Probably his best thing is grace under pressure with being able to laugh in the face of adversity. That puts him far ahead of most people, thing is I don’t think thats enough. The office of the President of the United States is not something within the skill set of most people, you and I included.
Not true. Exit polls showed that Obama Care was the NUMBER ONE issue on the minds of voters -and that with none of the Washington Republicans talking about it. That was the delightful prop wash of the Cruz filibuster.
But even if you don’t want to admit that, the notion that he was costing them the elections was just absurd. It was at the time, and it was on election day.
