From where I sit, the analysis in this article is dead on. The Washington GOP establishment hates Cruz more than Hillary or Obama.
Who is he following? There is no one else in Washington snugging up to Cruz, except Jeff Sessions and a few Tea Party folks.
Oh... I said it.... Tea Party. THAT is the operative word. The Washington Establishment, Democrat AND Republicans, hates the Tea Party with a visceral hatred. The IRS Scandal was hot as a fire cracker.... until it actually got close to accomplishing something. Then, it fizzled out. And the GOPe let it die without a fight. Why? Because they hate the Tea Party, too.
Except his corporate donors.
