Just like they didn't allow Ronald Reagan to be elected?

I live in Texas. I'm a huge Cruz fan. This ain't the same media that was against President Regan. Waaay more vicious and overt.

Maybe so, maybe not. However, both the Media and the GOP-E hated Reagan as they hate Cruz and for many of the same reasons.

Being a Texan, you should also be aware of the uphill fight Cruz had just to be elected as a Senator for Texas. He started out at 3% and the GOP party leadership did their best to destroy him just as the media did.

You maybe correct, however, you can't look at this scenario as if that one variable, the press, controls everything else. It does not. Furthermore, the other variables in this comparison/"equation" are not static in nature either.

All things considered, there are a lot of similarities between Ronald Reagan and Cruz and these two elections.

The press does not have the power you imply they have.
