For one, if it was not clear before, Cruz is making himself entirely unacceptable to all but âvery conservativeâ Republicans. Moreover, he is making himself noncompetitive in a general election context. Even before this latest spasm of extremism, Cruz does worse against Hillary Clinton than do all the other GOP candidates, except Trump. Combined with his vehement opposition to gay marriage (even advocating election of Supreme Court justices, as if that would improve his chances of reversing the courtâs ruling), opposition to abortion even in cases of rape and incest, his leadership in the government shutdown and the absence of a positive economic agenda evidencing concern for middle-class and working-class voters, Cruz has made himself into the poster child for right-wing extremism, a perfect target for the Clinton attack machine.

Rubin’s concern is touching. It’ll never win her a Grammy, though.

True. Doesn’t change the fact that the points in this article will be repeated constantly by the MSM with the predictable effect on lib turn out in the general. They won’t even have to lie.

According to Jen, enforcing the law is an extremist position while open borders and free stuff for all illegals is mainstream. Yeah, right!

Sort of a female Lindsay Graham or perhaps Lindsay Graham is a male Jennifer Rubin.Given how things work these days, is it possible these are really the same individual?

Jennie ain’t too bright for a Jewish gal. What part of “Death to the Jews” doesn’t she understand.
That said, losing here head wouldn’t be that big a deal. Hell, she isn’t using it now!

Whew! I was hoping Ted would get some sagacious campaign advice from the Washington Post. Maybe now he has a shot. /s

"On the other hand, it may only cement opposition to him if he dislodges Trump and becomes the champion of the non-college-educated and extreme right-wing set."
Quite the little snob, isn't she?

I want Trump but this is a real triumph for Cruz. WaPo is really afraid of Cruz.
