They’re worried about Cruz, Rand Paul, not as much.

If Ted Cruz was as unelectable as they keep saying he is, then why are they spending so much time attempting to talk him down?
Because he SCARES THE HELL OUT OF THEM.

Every speech he gives creates more enthusiasm for him, brings in more donations.
The big money people pay attention to candidates who can raise money on their own. Every small donation for Cruz makes it easier for the deep pockets players to support him.

The demonrat party knows they have no one who can stand up to him in a debate.
Imagine the old, worn out Hillary trying to keep up with Ted.
Or the almost as old commie Sanders having Cruz slap down every statement he makes in minutes.
A debate with the phony Indian Princess would look like a reenactment of Wounded Knee.

Romney won more white votes than any Republicans nominee in this century... Even if all the ‘missing white voters’ had showed up and every single one had voted for Romney, he still would have lost the election”

Numerically that may be true...but I don't know if that is true as a percentage of the population.

The argument is sound, I think, that Republicans need to broaden their appeal across ethnic groups. They do this not by changing the content of their message, but perhaps via different delivery methods...

First, by not ignoring the opportunity to speak to blacks, hispanics, millennials.

Second (and more important), by using spokesmen who LOOK LIKE the audience they are addressing.

Third, by not being afraid to be bold and explain why the Democrat party is bad news for the audience.

Let me see..... here is the heading for my next article : “Why Jennifer Rubin is a dumb broad”.
When is this silly cow going to learn that it’s better to keep quiet and leave some doubt as to one’s stupidity than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt?

Lets see...limited appeal?? To whom? Both appeal to me, however, I am for Cruz. Maybe this journalist talked to RINOs and Dems, who do not like Cruz and Paul. She didn’t talked to me...

Unfortunately for Cruz, he most likely will lose the first four states which won’t help going further.

Iowa - Walker

New Hampshire - Walker or Paul

South Carolina - Graham -——yep....they just reelected him in 2014 overwhelmingly.

Florida - Walker or Rubio

Nevada - Walker

This article may be of interest to the list. While there is a rivalry between Ted supporters and Rand supporters here at FR, in the larger world they are often grouped together.

A similar thing I've seen is that some political analysts group Obama and Bush together - both of their administrations dealt with some of the same issues - wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the financial crisis of 2008 and the aftermath...

It's an interesting perspective in both cases.
