The GOPe is frightened by Ted Cruz for a reason, folks. It's because he is the only person who genuinely threatens their hold on power in the race.

Did you ever think you’d hear a candidate who defends McConnell being supported by half of free republic? It is truly amazing.

That’s not what the GOPe is saying. Many of them are loudly trumpeting that if Ted Cruz wins, they will launch a GOPe revolt in within the party.

Did you ever think you’d hear a candidate who campaigned for Barack Obama’s legacy trade deal being supported by half of free republic? It is truly amazing.
