Cruz is right where he's been aiming to be, the obvious GOPe VP choice with Rubio which puts him at the front of the line for the establishment ticket in four or eight years.

“the obvious GOPe VP choice with Rubio”

Maybe, they are absolutely cut from the same cloth.

How can anyone say that Cruz is GOPe?

It is an easier case to make that Cruz is for Cruz, than that Cruz is for GOPe.

If Cruz were a phoney conservative like Tom DeLay or Ralph Reed, then why is he running for President? Why doesn't he stay put, like DeLay did, in his safe congressional seat?

Maybe this is just an elaborate way for him to get money from rubes, but it is money for Cruz, and not money for the GOPe.

In the end it might turn out that Cruz is the reason why the GOPe candidate Rubio doesn't outperform Trump.

Imagine that: a candidate like Cruz who is 90% behind the Tea Party line prevents GOPe Rubio from getting ahead of Trump.

How ironic.

I see it the same way and it sickens me.

How do people keep falling for this over and over?!

That sounds like the ticket we are looking for! /s
