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.
Palin fought the oil companies and won. Palin was a governor.
Cruz may have gone to a better school, although very left-leaning. Cruz never won a real office. Cruz is in the Senate, which is the dying ground of conservatism, and he had some job in a RINO administration, carrying RINO water.
When the media gets done with Cruz, people will think he was a Mexican who came across the border illegally and dropped out of high school.
