-The chances of a non-RINO being nominated are minimal (30+ years)
-If Cruz is the nominee the media will go full Palin. He’ll be portrayed as rapist, serial killer, dumber than a rick. Every Hispanic stereotype available. They can do it and they know it.
-The GOP will tank it.
-They will get Cruz to RINOize, which may already be happening.
The difference is, Cruz knows how to fight back.
Cruz is no “Palin” on any qualified level, and he doesn’t scare easily by media meanies.
