Ted Cruz goes over the edge on immigration
Washington Post ^ | 12/22 | Jenifer Rubin

For one, if it was not clear before, Cruz is making himself entirely unacceptable to all but “very conservative” Republicans. Moreover, he is making himself noncompetitive in a general election context.

Dear Ms Rubin,

Who was it that won the House & Senate for the Republicans?

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!

Are you sure? If one of those eyebrow hairs falls off into your lunch, it could wrap around your windpipe and choke you to death.

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.
