Your precious media will do the same thing to Cruz. And they don't have to give him space to defend himself. They will say he's stupid. They'll probably say he's Mexican. The truth doesn't matter. What are you going to say then, since you believe what the media says about Palin?
The media is not going to let a conservative Hispanic survive unscathed, like they wouldn't with a woman.
Look, no one says Palin has the resume of Ted Cruz, not even Palin, or that she was deft at handling the media, or actually enjoyed the debate with them. She was a zing queen for sure, but she could not strap it on them and didn’t, ever.
Cruz outsmarts the media and they’ve experienced the sting. That is why already they respect his skills and say so. Get over it.
